The web page caption under the picture calls it a keyboard/sampling rig.  I 
don't question that PF used the EML gear but I'm doubtful about that being an 
accurate description of it's function.  The gear certainly doesn't work with 
samples as we know them now.  " actually the original samples of all the 
sound effects (the money sounds, the people talking)"  Sound effects, yes, but 
"people talking" would be a very tricky patch for these primitive but very cool 
pieces!  Maybe they used the sequencer to trigger  samples stored 
elsewhere?   Any PF fans know more about this?
