This video is several years old and I don't know if anyone has posted this yet. It's a tutorial that shows you how to program the TB-303 acid line from Stakker Humanoid. Useful if you happen to own a 303 clone and want to give it a rinse.

Some more additions and corrections for Kiss 100 FM Test Transmission 1. I've included film/television vocal samples inserted in the mix.

Synth Problem - L.A. Factory samples Herbie Hancock - Hang Up Your Hang Ups
The Real Rave-O-Lution - Rave-O-Lution (Original Mix) samples The Beatles ...

Although I imagine some of the mystery tracks are just unreleased FSOL material.

Something that might help in IDing the remaining tracks.

I've learned that a lot of sample spotters have been using online AI programs like Google Assistant to find samples that have been a mystery for over 20 years.
Theoretically you should be able to use the same process to ID tracks in old mixes ...

Didn't Brian inherit some of those 70's synths from his father?

It's curious looking at the release dates for the equipment they were using by 1993. A lot of it was already vintage gear that was 10-20 years old with the newer stuff being mostly samplers and digital manipulation tools.

Bode Ring Modulator (1964)

ARP Synthesizer 2600 (1971)
EMS Synthi AKS (1972 ...

From the sleeve notes to Tales of Ephidrina:

EMS Synthi AKS
Jen SX 1000
ARP Synthesizer 2600
Roland SH-101
Roland TB-303
Roland TR-606
Moog System 55
Bode Frequency Shifter 1630
4 x Akai S1100 plus expanders (32 Mb)
Digidesign Sound Tools
Bode Ring Modulator
Trap Lunar Reflection II
Oberheim Matrix ...

Maybe this topic has been brought up before, but have FSOL fans put together a gear list of all the instruments they've used over the years?

I know they have mentioned in different interviews and on album notes the gear they've used like the EMS Synthi AKS, Akai S-Series samplers, Roland TB-303 ...

For reference Gary's 2006 explanation for how it was made.
