I was watching Top of the Pops here in England last night and the band 'Guillemots' came on. To my surprise it looked as though the lead singer was playing an arranger - kind of looked like a Yamaha to me.
This video clip shows it very, very briefly. Unfortunately, they had the name of the keyboard taped over. http://tinyurl.com/eo533
Watch the full appearance on their Myspace site. You have to scroll down slightly, and click on the video that says 'you tube' on it: http://tinyurl.com/g4jqg
It definitely looks like an arranger to me!

Definitely looks like some sort of arranger as I've just paused the video (the 2nd link is better) and you can see speakers at either side of it, quite a few buttons, a small display, only 61 keys and 1 mod/pitchbend wheel. Could be a Gem or possibly Korg?
One site on Google mentions that the singer has even used a battery operated Casio before with just him singing (brave soul) so maybe this is a newer electronic Casio

I just watched the video and I think I know what keyboard is being played. A Genesys Pro....if you look at the end caps from the side angle, these are the only sides that look like these. If you own a Genesys, check it out! I have a Genesys in my store and I'm pretty sure I'm right. George Kaye Kaye's Music Scene Reseda, Ca.

Hi George,
I think that the video gives far to much information to conclude this is a GenPro. Pitch wheel, Floppy Drive cut out infront of keys and speaker covers.
Regards, Dennis
