This article on the making of The Other Two and You by New Order's Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert explains, "Stephen is a self-confessed equipment hoarder; the lower floor rooms of the studio are reported to contain a vast stockpile of gear.

"'I'm one of those people that when I see something new, I buy it and find out it doesn't work as it's supposed to -- then I spend ages getting it to work properly only to find they bring out a new one at half the price that does the job. It's like this K2000 keyboard -- it's great, but it's like a hobby having a Kurzweil because of the problem of getting hold of all the new bits for it like SIMM's, the sampling option and internal fan.'

"'But it's a nice hobby though," interjects Gillian, reminding Stephen that it's her keyboard anyway."

This was during the Technique tour 1989.

It was most likely they used the TX81Z in the studio when writing this material but the YS200 has a very similar 4op archetecture and is a small lightweight, portable and somewhat disposable keyboard suitable for touring.

Per this Feb 11, 2013 interview for The Guardian:

We'd bought ourselves an Emulator 1, an early sampler, and used it to add snatches of choir-like voices from Kraftwerk's album Radioactivity, as well as recordings of thunder.
