I can't exactly answer you question (at all).. but I'm interested on what the sound is at the end of Get Down, Make Love..the part where it sounds like a game of Space Invaders..
They didn't play on synth 'till The Game album. They used Electric piano, piano and many of kinds of keyboards, but not synth.
Sounds from Get Down Make Love and other has been done by Brian's guitar.
Actually, you better not ask such questions here, because you can get a lot of crap back from advanced Queen fans :)

It's all Bri, equipped with a couple of delays, harmonizers, flangers and other effects. I think juls and Sebastian can explain exactly with what equipment he created those strange noises, but it's definitely Bri. Watch GDML on We will Rock you.
The first Synth was used on "The Game", an Oberheim, I think. It was Rog's, he was the first to get into using them.

Writing too long and posting too late - Serry got it first, sorry for the repetition. ;-)
i knew tha the 1st synth was used on the game...but in this forum sometimes you learn alot of surprises...
- An hammond organ was used on Queen I. For some people it is considered as a "synth"(you can hear it well just before freddie start singing, on Liar)
- Roger used syndrums on Jazz (fun it) and live (those whirling sound on live killers (Just before Death on 2 Legs, for example)

i'm wondering how a Hammond organ (almost certainly a B-3) could be considered a synth. imo, an organ is no more a synth than an electric piano.
An organ is not a synth. Synth creates sounds. Organ doesn`t. So neither organ or e-pianos count as synths.

Yes! And my theory is that since RT Baker had returned from work with The Cars (who used them quite a bit), it was his suggestion to play around with them. But I'm full of baseless theories like that :)
the "Get down make love" effects-wank is made with a harmonizer and delay pedal. The first album is indeed The Game / Fkash which used analogue synthesizers - a Hammond organ is no way a synthesiser, just like an electric piano isn't a synthesiser, because they generate a sound on a different way than a synth, like f.e. the Jupiter. The "no synth"-statement is just to prove the listeners and the guys from the production company (as Brian said once) that everything they hear is guitar, bass, piano and drums, so nobody could say "oh that Synth sounds nice".
I don't count electric drums to synthesizers, although they are nearer to a synth in terms of technology than an organ or an e-piano.

One thing I've always wondered, though, is from the debut album to A Day At The Races, they say "no synthesizers" and stuff like that, but for News Of The World and Jazz, it doesn't say that there were no synths.
However, it doesn't say that there were synths. Did they just not put in that they didn't use synths, or did they really use them for those two albums?

Gimmick only.
they didn't use synths until "The Game"
