I have an camcorder-recording of "Rendez-vous Houston", but the quality is sometimes too bad to see on wish intruments Jarre plays (not the whole time, only sometimes)...

I just watched some of the clips. He used the KX-5 for Oxygene 5 at Houston.

I remember someone from Jarre.net forums who began building some of the custom instruments... I wonder how he has succeeded.

Yes... I don't think he is on this forum.

Indeed, now that you mention, I will invite this guy in here

I wouldn't mind fiddling around with that Docklands custom portable keyboard with the organic look, it's pictured in the booklet of the "Jarre live" cd on the "eroded remains of tomorrow" page. You know, with the two rods and microphone sticking out the end ( I think he used it during revolutions at La Defense too). I'd like to find out what the key action on that thing feels like and if the rods and mike are functional. Love the look of it.

Everywhere, I read that the keys are like keys on an ordinary keyboard, but they doesn't look so. They look more like membrane keys.

Btw. here you have a large image of the Insecte:

They look like ordinary keys to me, there's space under them. I think they don't look that shiny, and maybe the shape is a bit uncommon, but I do think the keys are just like ordinary ones...

The Laser Harp, of course, followed by the LAG Magic.

Does anyone remember the two LAG Mad Max models?

Magic? Mad Max?

I don't think you can see any space under the keys. They are too low if you can really pull it. As you can see the keys are almost deeper than the leather and the unit itself.

I just had to defend my point of view as it still looks like a weird sort of keys to me
