The PS3200 is definately Francis' and so is the Jup-8.

The Mellotron is AFAIK owned by JMJ.

Ok this one had to come I have looked at several pics from part two of the Oxygene Tour. So far the only changes I have been able to spot are:

JMJ has added a Moog drum controller and the Roland HPD-15. Francis has a Kurzweil K2000 in his setup instead of a Prophet-5. Everything else is as it used to be from first part

[AnDrOiD]

That's cheating. K2000 an old lady? More like a computer built into a keyboard.

[Nico_Noyau]

Would be curious to see how he uses those 3 beasts, any video showing it in particular ?

[Jakob BC]

Yeah I'd like to know as well what all this percussion gear is for. Perhaps to trigger some soundeffects. If JMJ mostly used the K2000 as a controller, I winder what it was used for here. However there are still a few of the synths I have no idea what was used for. This includes Claudes Juno and VP-330. I never really found out what he used the Minimoog, Synthi A or ARP for either. I haven't seen Dominique play the Odyssey and Memorymoog. there are still some answers to research

Well listen to the instruments he actually uses on the album,for each part,see who plays what and then its obvious there are synths put in the rig for purely cosmetic purposes rather than actually to play...or perhaps they are there as backups for certain parts should anything go wrong during the tour or on stage during the performance..

Personally I'd say those additional synths were merely for show...

[Kanta]

He managed to hit the Moog drum very hard at the Bucharest concert. Lets see if he can find a replacement.

Probably... it's candy for the eye Some of the instruments with no memory seems to be for single sounds only such as effects. There was some info, sorry I don't know where it came from, but the Oberheim TVS was used for some wind effects, though we don't see JMJ use it. His Oxygene 4 wind shot is also controlled by that small black pad/button thing.
Anyway the show thing could be an answer seeing as there was added a lot gear compared to the DVD concert.

I know that, but this info was from the Jarre team... Patrick I think.

And there is the Korg PS3200 clearly

What are these openned instruments ? (one with keys and other one)

[JPQ]

I know that, it is just strange that they are completely identical anyway.

Maybe old & unrealiable hardware with backup machine????

[Jakob BC]

Oh damn it's some time ago now, so I don't remember what exactly it was about

Mellotron. One picture from the top and the other from the back.

[Jakob BC]

LoL how could I misunderstand that question
