Bill Nelson's Keyboards and Synthesizers
Bill mentions his use of synths and more. "I soon added other synths, including a Solina String Machine and a Yamaha CS70M. I also was an early adopter of drum machine technology and synth-guitars. (I had one of the first Hagstrom Patch 2000 synth-guitars which I used on the 'Drastic Plastic' album.)"

Bill mentions his use of a Minimoog in the 70s. "I bought a synth, (a mini-moog,) way back in the '70's, some time prior to writing the 'Drastic Plastic' album, I think. I bought it from a band/duo called 'Hudson-Ford, (an offshoot of 'The Strawbs,') who had not found the synth of much use to them. I immediately took to it and it became a major compositional tool when I created demos for the songs that went onto the 'Drastic Plastic' and 'Sound-On-Sound' albums. It also featured heavily on the 'Quit Dreaming' sessions and far beyond."

Bill mentions he still owns the synth. "Yes, I do still have the Yamaha DX7 keyboard, though I don't really use it these days. Many of the sounds on it are available on the Yamaha Motif, which is my main keyboard. But the DX7 was groundbreaking when it first came out, an astonishing instrument and very complicated to program."
