    I think this topic can be helpful for recognizing gear from the pictures.
    Ok I am first.
    What synth is on the right and what "piano" is on the bottom?

    What gear is there on top & bottom?

    it definitely could be. 99%. pic is rough. What is the big white dot right above the top key?

    It is. I can't link a picture for whatever reason.

    What if we just identify the beer? The synth has what looks like 3 plastic pointer knobs like these, all the way to the left of the front panel, and the rest are not the same style:

    The others... I think maybe Roland delay on bottom with colored knobs. Gotta do some looking. The top thing, I have no clue.

    But not the SDE1000. Also not a DEP-5 but real close.

    I'm trying to figure out the top synth. it appears to be blue, 3 pointers that do not match the rest of the knobs. it has a screen in the top right corner. and it is a "tabletop" or "desktop" unit. if it is something like an Erica or Pittsburgh might get tough...

    It looks like a DEP-5 but with an extra white (or yellow) knob. That's freakin killing me.

    Those three plastic knobs all the way to the left are those radio buttons with the pointer. the only synths I have had with them are Moog. That is some attention to detail stuff. I think they are used more often in other studio gear than in synths.

    Soon OP will tell us something like the guy in the picture is left handed and the device is actually upside down. Is it possibly some effects unit or odd sequencer?

    In the pic of the blue thing, it almost looks like there is something above the LCD; resembling one of those Roland D-Beam things. I don't remember them making anything blue, though. I really think it is some Roland though, because they are one of the only manufacturers who often put the LCD in the upper right corner on the front panel.

    It must be a DEP! That guy must have swapped the knobs.

    That tabletop thingy, looks to me something Boss or Korg. I ran the pics through a picture upres tool.
    Still can't figure out the beer!

    The one on top? It has angled silver aluminum side panels, like a Hydrasynth. And it has no drum pads or buttons. The control buttons look Transport related to me. The thing in the upper right corner now looks even more like a D-Beam. (or something I have seen on maybe a Waldorf?)
    It appears to be silver, and has 4 screws securing it to the front plate. The two cable's connectors at the back of the device appear to be XLR or just Midi to me, because they seem about the same size as the power cord plug. The top of the other knobs are silver, which again makes me think Moog.

    even the greatly enhanced image is still rough. thank you @boomoperator for the better images.

    Looking at you it looks like you have a lot of fun.
    Thanks!

    Or maybe they lost the knob and buy the new one in different colour.
    But is this not too short for DEP-5?
    This one on the pic looks like 3/4 of DEP-5
    It's from the Noisia documentary video :wink:

    And there is a red led diode on the top left corner.
    Is DEP-5 have red diode on the top left corner?

    No! So that rules that out. There were some little BOSS racks that did... but if it's one of them the knobs are definitely swapped. It just doesn't look like a BOSS.
