Peter Christopherson's Keyboards and Synthesizers
"Our sound sources include quite a lot of original analog gear (OSCAR, Korg Poly-6, EMS synthi, Roland Juno60 - all midi-retro fitted BTW) plus the usual samplers (Emax, s1000, Samplecell II). These are controlled by sequencers including Studio Vision, Cubase and the "retro-style" Doepfer (originally made for Kraftwerk). The sounds are intially effected by various standard echoes and FX including a Roland SDX-330 Dimensional Expander (3D-ish) and a Boss SE70 (good vocoder presets!)."
In 1:07, and 7:22 of this video (as well as at other times during the hectic editing) you can see Sleazy using a Nord Lead synthesizer. I think it's a Lead 1, though that doesn't come up on equipboard. He also mentions using a Nord for Coil's Ape of Naples in this interview: https://archive.org/stream/CoilInterviewTheMillionDollarAltar/Coil%20interview%20-%20The%20Million%20Dollar%20Altar_djvu.txt

Sleazy mentions this not only the Keyboard Magazine Interview from 1987, but again in the COIL website FAQ from 2001.
Sleazy frequently mentioned that the main sound source for the early records was the E-mu Emulator II, although its sounds were sometimes exported to the Fairlight via MIDI and edited on it.
