Other than the Moog Taurus bass pedals, can anyone identify the other synths in Geddy's rig in this photo?

Here's where collecting tour programs comes in handy.
Oberheim - OB-1, OB-x and OB-8, two sets of taurus pedals, interfaced with the OB-8, Mini-Moog, Roland Digital Sequencer, assorted effects.
Oberheim OB1 on the left. On the right...Custom cabinet containing some kind of apparently (custom?) Oberheim gear...looks similar to a SEM with programmer. And a Minimoog.
Further exploration: A Polyphonic Programmer next to the Mini...which controls the off-stage Oberheim synths, mentioned above. Don't know what the Oberheim gizmo is to the left of the Programmer.

Ah, the OB-X. I remember around 1982 a friend's uncle had one of those in his garage and we all collected to check it out. I could not believe the amount of fat analog goodness those things could crank out. I instantly wanted one more than sex (and I was 18 at the time, so that's saying something!) But one look at the price tag (around $2,500 at the time, I believe) made me realize it would have to live in my dreams.
I'm holding out for the Wilson-mixed 5.1 super-duper walletbuster special anniversary extra adjectives edition.
So the 4 octave keyboard under the minimoog is part of an Oberheim system?

Without looking anyone else's answers:
Mini-Moog and Obereheim 8-Voice keyboard and programmer built into a single console, and Oberheim OB-1.
