Machines Behind The Music :

When ever electronic music comes up the question always arise ..what is used? or what was used to make a particular sound?

I rarely answer that question but I'm more than happy to generally list machines and things I use, and I'm about to do that now.  This information is of little use to anyone with the exception of producers, audiophiles and general music geeks but considering the frequency of questions of this nature it seems pointless not to do it.  ...so here is the kit list :
