Keyboards and Synthesizers used by Mark Mothersbaugh on Shout
Mark and Jerry Casale are sitting in front of their Fairlight IIx in this video from 1984. The Fairlight IIx was used all over DEVO's 1984 album Shout (the album is almost completely composed of the factory sounds that came with the Fairlight), as well as TotalDevo from 1988 (although its use isn't near as prominent as it is on Shout; it was mainly used for sequencing). It can be heard on Mark's solo album Muzik for Insomniaks, released in 1988. The IIx sound "SWANEE" was used by Mothersbaugh in the theme song to the long-running Nickelodeon series Rugrats.
