Gary Numan used a "Micro Korg" quite a bit on the first few records, later he used the "Polymoog Keyboard" a lower end version of the standard Polymoog, but it featured the "Vox Humana" preset which became his trademark soaring melody sound (the initial highnotes on "Cars" is the "Vox Humana" preset). As for "Are Friends Electric" , that's the Mini Korg. The video shows someone playing a minimoog (using two hands on the keyboard ..ha!), but that's not what you are hearing, ditto for the Arp Omni shown later in the video. The reason that the Mini Korg sounded so peculiar is that it has a resonant HP filter which is independently tunable from the resonant LP filter. you can get some pretty unique timbres form the Mini Korg. That filter, BTW, was called the "Traveller" on the synth and was available on the 911 guitar synth and the 'traveller' footpedal filter stompbox. I hope this clarifies things a bit...
