"We get hardware mainly from America and Japan and the instruments are adapted by our engineers to our specifications. I have a number of keyboards including the OB-X, PPG Wave Computer 1 & 2, various Arp equipment, and four custom built sequencers made in Germany. I also play guitar and I use various instruments including Fender and Gibson. I don't really need to use guitar synthesisers as we have the keyboards. I like to work with the Roland MC-8 Micro Composer and TR808 drum machine. These are some of the instruments I use regularly, although we do have links with most of the synthesiser producing companies who supply us with new equipment from time to time."

... This is the story of Tangerine Dream’s Ricochet.... The array of electronic equipment used by Tangerine Dream on that tour was formidable indeed. For its time it looked nothing short of a futuristic world controlled by machines. For the die hard rig fanatics, an approximate list of the machines used by the three members of the group at the Coventry Cathedral show included:

The red Clavia Nord Wave easy viewable as one of the main keyboards with the Korg Radias on the Electric Mandarine Tour with Tangerine Dream, for example.

In this photo, a Korg VC-10 Vocoder can be seen to the right of Froese, sitting atop modular synthesizer.

The top synth in this image of Edgar is a Clavia Nord Lead 3 Synthesizer.

"For this present tour, I play one large keyboard rack containing the PPG2, PPG1, Korg Polyphonic Ensemble (which I use only for strings), and the Arp Pro-Soloist. There is also a Conn Strobe Tuner for matching pitches. To my right I operate the Soundcraft Series 1S 20 into 4 mixer which takes both keyboard and guitar signals. For the guitar, which is a Gibson on this tour, I have an Ibanex UE400 Multi-Effects unit and an MXR Digital Delay. The Ibanex effects are controlled by a foot switch box with compressor/phaser/distortion/chorus/flanger and I set the guitar volume with a Boss pedal."

Just watch the Tangerine Dream - 35th Phaedra Anniversary Concert In London At Shepherds Bush Empire and the concert in Tempodrom. Berlin, Germany. 2006. These both concerts shows it clearly. Edgar Froese (RIP), his son Jerome and Thorsten Quaeschning uses Roland JP-8000. Also the London Eye Concert 2008 with Tangerine dream. Here this synthesizer is located under the Manikin Memotron on the right side of the Edgar`s keyboards.

You can see the PPG 360 A in many of the photos on the album Stuntman.

''A little known fact: Edgar Froese of Tangerine Dream used the Solus on the group's 1981 album Thief and during live performances in Berlin and London."
