Keyboards and Synthesizers used by Stevie Wonder on Someday Has Begun, Pt. 1

Vintage & Electric Pianos

Hohner Clavinet I

In a 1968 performance, Stevie Wonder can be seen using the Hohner Clavinet I on the song "Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day." Stevie acquired the Clavinet I for his tenth studio album For Once in My Life, starting in 1968, as he was seeking a keyboard instrument with a guitar-like sound. According to Jim Allen on Reverb, "The jazz, funk and disco pedigree of the Clavinet is very well documented elsewhere; the earliest Stevie Wonder recordings are from 1968, notably ‘Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day’, preceding the classic multitracked Clavinet milestone ‘Superstition’ by four years."

Studio Equipment used by Dr. Dre on Someday Has Begun, Pt. 1

Drum Machines

Roland TR-606 Drumatix

Avg price: $648.50

Dr. Dre used the Roland TR-606 Drumatix to recreate and layer drum sounds for his album The Chronic. He combined original samples with drum machine sounds, particularly from the TR-606 and TR-808, to achieve a punchier, more dynamic drum sound. This technique is especially evident in "Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang," where Dr. Dre is credited as the producer and responsible for drum programming.
