In 1977 and 1978 all percussion work was done by Matten & Wiechers Synthanorma Sequenzer incl. the lovely Intervallomat with The Triggersumme (6 rows à 16 steps), brain of the Mensch-Maschine. All programming was done by Hütter & Schneider. Mr. Flür had the switch the switches. Dirk Matten kraftwerk@mailman.xmission.com schrieb am 15.04.02:

he was a mentally REAL member of Kraftwerk... but he ruined it with his nude photos.
well ... let's jus' speculate that this already happened in ... say 1977 or 1978 , durin' the most creative period of kw ... didn't the others noticed that @ all ... or was he jus' "a tolerated co-werker" , simply because they needed a percussion player like him ??? *indeed_VERY_curious* IF he was indeed "jus' tolerated" as "a co-werker" by the others ( especially by ralf & florian ) , then they are ... not an inch better than him , sorry !!! :-/ this is called EXPLOITATION_!!! :-(
however ... greetinx ,

At least by 1981 both Fluer and Bartos were needed for manual percussion too. Fluer was playing a thing with rows of switches, each triggering a drum pattern, apart from the electric drum kit with the knitting needles. Bartos was mostly playing bass lines, and e.g. the theme melody of Spiegelsaal, and sometimes playing that (second) drum kit too. On TEE there's even a bit a missing beat somewhere. Does the Synthanorma miss beats, Dirk? ;-) Rick Jansen __ rja@euronet.nl http://www.euronet.nl/~rja ____________________________________________ S&H's a module and s&h's looking good

------------- I noticed missing beats, and I believe that was left in on purpose; it shows the human element. In fact they missed the RIGHT beats ;-) amir
