Anyone know what brand and style keyboard/synth that Chris and Jonny were using during the MTV movie awards? I wanna say I have seen that unique blue colored synth somewhere but now I can't find it...

 

Its either a yamaha or a Roland. Anybody pick up on it?

I too was wondering about that particular blue device. It's amazing.

Its painted....which makes it harder to tell...but I think its a Roland SH 201...

If someone knew for sure they should get an award, Ive been dying to know as well

FOUND IT!

 

I think anyways. If i'm correct its a MIDI controller which is basically a keyboard that you can tweek/download certain sounds. It is either

 

Korg KONTROL 49

or

 

Akai MPK 49

I'm fairly certain its the Korg though, same slider and same configuration in the back when you look closely when its played live. Of course its painted and probably custom ordered with inverted keys.

The Korg looks very close! The shape is the same.

But the size of the part without keys looks bigger than the Korg. :\

By the way!

I agree on that, however it might be due to the fact that the keys on theirs are inverted which makes it look different. All in all this is the closest ive come in like a month of searching so I'm gonna call it good until someone comes up with an official equipment list.

 

By the way Debs said she will try, but it was hard to get last tour and she thinks it may be near impossible to get a list this time because there is so much this time around.

Yup, just took some stills from the new Viva La Vida video, its definately the Korg Kongtrol 49. I wonder how they got it with inverted keys? Painted or just custom made? Its intersetingly a really inexpensive MIDI controller, however who knows how many thousands of dollars of rack gear/computer software its controlling...
