Gillian Gilbert's Studio Equipment
In this transcription of a Sound on Sound article, former New Order tech Michael Johnson states that during the making of the Brotherhood album, the band utilized "a Yamaha QX1 Sequencer with dedicated software [and a] Yamaha RX11 drum machine." In this live performance from 1985, we can see both mounted atop Gillian's keyboard rack at the 5:36 mark.
“So 10 of the players were running the S61 keyboards and two were using the 88-note ones, plus there was the one that Gillian has. Again she had exactly the same setup, with a laptop running MainStage and the Komplete Audio 6 supplying the audio from the laptop, but with Gillian there was a bit of a hybrid situation. She likes the Native Instrument keyboards and now uses the S88 weighted one, but she has still been using the odd thing from the Fantom and Mopho.

Per this Feb 11, 2013 interview with Gilbert for The Guardian:
Blue Monday's distinctive intro was written on an Oberheim DMX drum machine.
