This is the Korg 700S, our favourite synthesizer. It was built in 1974 (so was I...) and it is totally awesome. Every sound on the first Rex single and most of the sounds on the second single were made only with this keyboard.

We tracked this synthesizer down with crazy determination because we heard it was used on Depeche Mode's first album and also to make all the sounds on 'Warm Leatherette' by The Normal.

At first, when we took it out of the box, it seemed pretty lame, and so it sat in the corner for a month. Then one evening, when I was in a bad mood, I put it on my lap and played with it and it started to sound like Kraftwerk. Within 3 hours we had made a small tune which became 'Prototype'.
