Stevie Wonder's Studio Equipment
In this 1986 photo a Linn 9000 is seen behind Stevie Wonder
Stevie is pictured here, circa 1984, with the K250 and its inventor Ray Kurzweil. Stevie's role in the development of this instrument is detailed in this CNBC entry dated Apr 21, 2016.
TLDR: if Stevie invites you to his studio, and asks you to make a synth, you make that synth.
Stevie Wonder is mentioned as an early user of the Linn LM-1 Drum Computer in this article from "The Guardian".
Who uses them? The LM-1 was elite gear. Only 525 machines were ever made, and inventor Roger Linn managed to flog them by dragging around a little cardboard-box prototype to showbiz parties. Notching up pre-orders with Peter Gabriel, Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Wonder, the Drum Computer became a bourgeois must-have object, and was quickly put to use in hit records from the Human League, Gary Numan, and, most notably, Prince.
In this 1983 photo Stevie Wonder can be seen with a Dr Click on top of his PPG Wave synth.
