And there are no Vocoders on Equinoxe. Jarre described his techniques for those sounds in a 1979 interview with Sound On Sound. They are sounds from the ARP 2600 modified by effect equipment created by Michel Geiss.
...all is not told in an interview... I have to precise: typical KW-"voice-coded" sounds not found on "Equinoxe" indeed... The EMS vocoder was used not to process audible speech-voices but to create original sounds by processing more abstracted sound sources - Kraftwerk also do that! -... ( fyi: with a vocoder (almost) all is allowed ;-) ) But you're also right: Geiss deeply collaborated with JMJarre on "Oxygene" & "Equinoxe", building/customizing some gears specially for him, he helped on ARP patches programming... ...maybe, perhaps, _ /o o\ Filtre4Pole \ ~ / I I - -
