Mods and upgrades
-
Mutable Instruments Tides is highly recommended for its unique interface and versatility as both an envelope generator and oscillator.
Source -
Upgrading the Basic Oscillator to two compact precision VCOs and swapping the passive multiple for a buffered one is suggested for enhanced functionality, including sync and detuned sounds.
Source -
Consider substituting a 4-channel VCA mixer for the included 2-channel VCA and 4-channel mixer for more flexibility.

Very nice, yes.
Very sturdy and good power delivery. I think maybe I swap the fixed rails for slidenuts sometime.

from the equipment list on his website
Drew Neumann uses the Doepfer A-100 Analog Modular System, as listed on his official website showcasing his equipment.
Spectrasonics Studio List The equipment list for the Spectrasonics studio reads like a gear-head's dream. Favourites amongst Eric's sizeable synthesizer collection include the Access Virus, the Prophet VS, his collection of Waldorf synthesizers, and a 1976 Yamaha CS80. "It's my favourite axe to play, because of the awesome polyphonic aftertouch and that sensuous ribbon," explains Eric.
For effects processing Eric is a fan of the Roland SRV330 reverb, an item that "gets missed by most people, mainly because it doesn't say Lexicon on the front panel." For distortion tricks Eric often uses a rare Boss GL100 guitar preamp: "It's basically the history of Boss pedals in one rack space."
Mixing, until recently, was done on some "very odd, custom-made analogue mixers made by a guy named Mo West," reveals Eric. He recently purchased a Roland VM 7000-series mixer, however, taking him one step closer to an all-digital setup.
