Hi List !

I remember seeing Kraftwerk in the late '70s .  I distinctly remember 
that someone was actually playing a sort of typewriter keyboard 
(selectric type) and was actually producing the singing voice .  
After the show we went to the stage, (this was in a uni auditorium, 
just walk on :) and i recall seeing very weird signs on the keys, 
looking something like phonemic characters .  I'm sure it was used 
real time .  Analogue built of a vocal tract maybe ? and then 
controlled by something like an adressable bank of trimpots ?  Just 
guessing .

Cheers .
