Anyway this great synth has a lot to do with Kraftwerk! There is a voice named Kraftwer, a few patterns very close to The robots, Home Computer and other KW's songs, and on page 81 of the damned GERMAN manual, in the vocoder section, there is a drawing of a head speaking in a microphone: it looks like Karl Bartos head!!!
Vocoder Quasimidi Sirius has also a synth-sound named "calculat". Furthermore, adverts for the Quasimidi Quasar sound module mentioned that a "well-known synthesizer band from Duesseldorf" use the Quasar because of its analogue sound and a small close-up photo from a Kling Klang studio with two Quasars installed was also published. BTW, Spanish Kraftwerk-devoted synthpop band El Aviador Dro y Sus Obreros Especializados (or Aviador Dro for short) do also use Quasimidi Sirius. FYI, Aviador Dro did a live version of "The Model", titled "La Modelo", with lyrics sung in Spanish, in 1979. DER AUTOMAT
