Per Gessle's Keyboards and Synthesizers
"One of the synths I bought was an Ensoniq ESQ-1, and learning how to program it I wrote “The Look,” based on a sequenced bass-groove. The words in the first verse were basically guide lyrics that were made to remember the rhythm & phrasing, but I eventually kept it, changing only a few lines here and there. They made sense to me in an “I Am The Walrus” kind of way… I always liked that style."
Interview with Songwriter Universe in 2018
In a 1999 performance on Top of the Pops, Per Gessle can be seen playing the Yamaha DX7.
In the song "Listen to Your Heart" by Roxette, you can hear the Roland D-50's preset 44-Pizzagogo in the verses. This serves as evidence that Per Gessle used this synthesizer, as the sound is prominently featured. In fact in videos the D-50 isn't incorporated but many other songs have D-50 presets too.
