So, what would it look like if you took a 1967 Moog Modular Series III, and re-housed all the modules in backlit plexiglass? This is one of the synths used by Don Preston, ex-Mothers of Invention, who crops up in this fantastic post about the synths used on the sountrack
to Apocalypse Now. While Don's setup was cool, the real power geek on the project was Pat Gleeson, whose setup was thus: "Two single-keyboard Prophet 10's (Rev 1's) and and an Emu-modular that were tied into a performance system that also had 16 large voices on large computer-cards (although they were analog) that were in a bin (aka "Blue-box"). All of these were controlled by the Emu digital-scanning polyphonic keyboard and through a system of switches it was possible to take a specific keyboard voice and assign it to the Emu modular, either of the two Prophets or the computer-bin voices or any combination of these four." (Thanks, Micke)
