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 These are controlled by sequencers including Studio Vision, Cubase and the "retro-style" Doepfer (originally made for Kraftwerk).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 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.
