According to EMS, very few of them were made. Mike primarily used it together with his ARP 2600. The Universal Sequencer had control voltage and gate outputs for controlling analogue synthesisers. Related to the sequencer from EMS's Synthi KS (available both on its own and as part of the Synthi AKS suitcase synthesiser/sequencer, as used by Pink Floyd and Jean Michel Jarre, amongst others). It owed much of its sound to its ensemble effect, created by running the sound through three LFO-modulated delay lines. String synthesiser produced by the Dutch organ company Eminent and later rebadged by ARP. Semi-modular analogue monophonic synthesiser. The model isn't known, but it was quite possibly a B3, certainly with a Leslie speaker. It's not clear whether the only Farfisa on the album is the broken hired organ or whether another was borrowed (for example, the Farfisa Mike had borrowed for the demos).Īs this doesn't appear to have been hired from Maurice Placquet (it at least doesn't appear on the 1972 hire receipt), it would seem that this was either owned by The Manor or belonged to one of the bands who were recording there at the time. Return To Ommadawn used a Farfisa sotware emulation.Ī Farfisa organ was hired from Maurice Placquet, but it broke down. See also the excellent Craig Evans' Mike's Guitars and Effects Timeline.
