Audio Sequencers

Genoqs Machines Octopus Sequencer

In an undated interview with Steelberry Clones, Daniel B. of Front 242 states:

On the Nothing But Noise album we have a very standard set up and in the center sits a Octopus sequencer, which from my perspective is more of an instrument then a controller. It has its roots in the analog world.

Drum Machines

Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer

Avg price: $4,599.00

Per this May 04, 2021 feature from gearnews.de:

Now a more technological phase begins and there are several interesting mixes with strong use of the TR-909. The nineties are almost at the end and Front by Front has long been recorded. Their sound with the "emulator" as the center was still considered THE appearance. In the phase after that, the emulator disappeared. A Nord Lead is spotted on stage but also a Korg M1 or a Korg Z1
