Look like Brian Kehew loaned them his purple 400.
 
It's standard strings through a pedal probably.

  It's an M400.  At 0:19s the red cap on the power switch is visible.  Neither the M4000 or M400D have one.  You can just see it if your cursor isn't on the youtube control bar.
  I wonder what the voice is?  Clarinet?  It sounds square-wavish.

I think it’s an M400, but it seems taller, like the M4000, hmmm.
Good to see regardless!

At 0:18, there's a blue flash on the control panel that could be from the digital readout on an M4000 or maybe just a reflection. Looks like it could be an M400 or an M4000. Who knows?
