Yep definitely synths. Roland SH1/SH101 as well as the Prophet 6. Wicky wicky indeed!

Why do they fit -- strange complicated machinery with lots of knobs. The chosen weapon of synthstrumentalists. It doesn't take anything away from the song, in fact it adds alot of depth and context.

Maybe the author was having to ditch their old Roland SH101 for a new Prophet 6, and was having mixed feelings about it.

The simple poetry enmeshed in double/triple entendres (and how ever many more you want to creatively conceive), combined with the beat, and the fact it's sampled in one of my favourite rap tracks; I Can't Go To Sleep by Wu Tang Clang, makes this a beautiful creation.

And this is why I love Songmeanings; it totally enables lovers of music to expand their joy of their favourite music, at times effortlessly - such as this time thanks to your comment, and other times with a little digging through comments.

Prophet 600, SH-101 - the iteration and 'progression' of...
Prophet 600, SH-101 - the iteration and 'progression' of music. You, the creative, want to look at it like a progression, the breaking of a new day, a love for the exploration of love itself, but to the instrument it's a painful betrayal of the relationship you built up. Prophet 600 may seem like a lightswitch moment, apparently, but SH-101 was the last thing your fans were spinning as your sound, perhaps the thing that got people orbiting your sphere of presence in the first place, and has every real opportunity to kill your future - wicky wicky, as you say. Passion does not always amount to success. Moreover, better be sure you're in step with your fans if you wanna talk in (our) collectives because they, as much as your instruments, have the power to determine your ascension or downfall.
Realistically, however, music at it's depths is a constantly flowing state of change. From the beginning of it's birth to last days end it will have never stopped moving forward, evolving, iterating. And to keep up with the times, to pursue your passion etc. so must you, sacrificing your lifesblood to an undying hunger. Life is bitter-sweet in so many ways, all you can do is keep moving forward. Walk on.
they could be referring to the prophet-600 and the sh-101 synthesizers. makes sense because these synths have a lot of knobs - wicky wicky!
I thought the same thing, actually... but I don't see how vintage analog synthesizers fit in with the lyrics. :P
