Chris Lowe's Gear
"A picture of Chris Lowe from the Pet Shop Boys playing a Fairlight Series III on"
Chris is using a Roland A-50 MIDI keyboard in this video; it can be seen at 0:34.
Chris also played A-50 live all the way during the Discovery tour, therefore it should possibly be moved to the Keyboards/Synths section.
Chris Lowe can be seen using this instrument throughout the attached video.
Chris Lowe is very clearly playing an Emulator II+ in this picture.
E-Mu Proteus 1 is included in the list of synths/samplers used by Pet Shop Boys.
The logo is visible at 1:53, when Chris begins playing the piano.
For Very they used: Korg M1Rs Akai S1000s Akai S3000s Roland S770 E-mu Systems Proteuses Oberheim Matrix 1000 Roland MKS80s Roland MKS50s PPG Waveterm Roland JD800 Roland Juno 106 Sequential Circuits Prophet V Roland R70 Fairlight CMI Macintosh running Notator Logic Dynaudio monitors This is according to Music Technology magazine (Dec 1993)
In response to a September 2003 question on the official PSB website, Chris cited the "Roland TG33" as a common source for string synth sounds on PSB recordings. Yet I haven't been able to find any other references online to a "TG33" synth by Roland. There is, however, a Yamaha TG33. Chris may simply have confused the synth manufacturers.
"Chris started this one off at home — he’s got an Apple PowerBook with Logic, a Roland SC88, and a PC200 keyboard, which he uses to write at home. He wrote most of the basic track, and then Neil massaged the basic structure idea into full song format, so that he could fit his lyrics in."
