On Boards Of Canada Wikia page it states that "BOC use the SH-101 extensively."
In this photograph capturing a live performance by Boards of Canada, we see a Casio CZ-101 synthesizer positioned on the drum stands in front of Michael Sandison. The CZ-101 is visibly linked to other equipment solely through a MIDI cable, indicating its probable role as a MIDI keyboard within this live setup. Strikingly, the synth's audio output remains unutilized during the performance.
Identification of the synthesizer is possible thanks to its distinctive side profile, featuring two audio jacks, a DC jack, and a guitar strap peg. The Casio logo is concealed beneath tape.
On the Boards of Canada Twoism forum, user oliveoil22 demonstrated that Boards of Canada utilized the Ensoniq VFX-SD (or similar SD-1/VFX), as evidenced by videos where the user plays the exact preset on "Everything You Do Is a Balloon" from the 1996 EP "Hi Scores". In addition, one can hear the same "saw-o-life" preset layered in the song "Oirectine" from their 1995 EP "Twoism."
