For the ASIA reunion tour (original members), Geoff Downes is using an all-Roland set-up!
A few years ago he was using only Korg keyboards (Triton, Karma & MS2000). Things are changing!
From what I can recognize:
On the left
VP-550
JP-8000
Fantom X-8
On the right
SH-201
???
Fantom something (X6 or X7)
Not forgetting the AX-7

The bottom one on the right side seems a V-Synth to me

Yes, I think it too because of 2 things :
- to have 2 FantomX doesn't have sense.
- there is not the red part in the right of the synth (launch pads

)

Looking at it again, yes, you could be right.
Where does the "all Roland" comment come from?

The "all Roland" quote, did this come from a publication/website?

I'm not 100% sure about the SH201. But maybe it's the colour that doesn't let me recognize it.
