 ===AN1x===
 The [[wikipedia:Yamaha_AN1x|Yamaha AN1x]] has been recognised as being the blue keyboard in question. [[Twoism (messageboard)|twoism.org]] have a thread on this, where some members have analysed the photograph, and by altering contrast etc, have stated that certain ports that only the [[wikipedia:Yamaha_CS1x|CS-1x]] has, are 'missing' from the back panel, thus strongly suggesting that the synth in question is indeed an [[wikipedia:Yamaha_AN1x|AN1x]].  Interestingly, in recent years, numerous examples of [[wikipedia:Yamaha_AN1x|AN1x]] programming to emulate/re-create [[BoC]] sounds have surfaced, demonstrating remarkable closeness to [[BoC]], thus furthering the potential that the blue synth is in fact an [[wikipedia:Yamaha_AN1x|AN1x]]. Note that [[BoC]] only used the [[wikipedia:Yamaha_AN1x|AN1x]] to trigger live samples.<ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9092&hilit=AN1x</ref>
