Pete Bardens' Gear
The Minimoog was Pete Bardens main keyboard for solos during his time with Camel (except on the first album, probably because he didn't have one yet).
Pete Bardens can be seen using the Roland RS-202 Strings synthesizer during Camel's 1977 BBC concert performance, as captured in the YouTube video. This aligns with the string sounds present on Camel's albums "Moonmadness" (1976) and "Rain Dances" (1977).
Peter Bardens was using the Freeman String Symphonizer as his string synth on tour in 1976 as can been seen on footage from the Hammersmith Odeon (at 3:52 in the source video there's a close-up on the synth).
Pete Bardens can be seen using the EMS VCS 3 synthesizer during Camel's recording sessions, as shown in a user-uploaded photo.
In a user-uploaded photo, Pete Bardens is shown playing the Korg ARP Odyssey during a performance of "The Snow Goose."
