STEVE’S ESSENTIAL GEAR

Roland Juno-60 Roland Juno-106 “We’ve been using it a lot for classic chords, but Max also surprised me by creating sounds that I hadn’t heard coming out of it before.”

Dave Smith Sequential Prophet 6 “I used to own a Prophet 5 but it had too many issues. This is a great, stable replacement with a lot more to offer.”

Moog Sub 37 Studio Electronics Omega 8 “It’s one of my favourite pieces of gear. We’ve been using it a lot for self-modulating lead synth lines, like in Senior Elfo or The Teaze, but also as a rolling bassline on A Touch of Detroit.”

Studio Electronics SE-1X Roland TB-303 “We used it on the track NGC6240 with very subdued tweaking. Max really wanted to use the 303 on one of the tracks since he’d never used the original before.”

Line 6 Echo Pro “This is a great echo modulation unit that we used a lot, especially in the creative part of music writing because it’s so easy to use with outboard gear.”
