In a Reddit thread, user jellysgroove identified a list of gear from a picture of Hiroshi Yoshimura’s studio, confirming that he uses the Korg SDD-1000.
"My normal procedure is to put a code from my MSQ700 onto my A8 through my Seck desk (they're really brilliant — only about an inch thick, and light). I have thought about getting a Fostex B16, but that would only have meant getting a mega-desk. A nice clean simple desk, simple routing, and I've got my rack system in order. I used to have two Roland SDE3000s, but I never used them to their full capacity, and they had no sampling, which is why I swapped to Korg SDD1000s, with 2 seconds of delay, and proper triggerable sampling. I always get pairs of things because I'm a stereo fanatic."
