Add artistIn the Premier Guitar article "John Frusciante: War and Peace," John Frusciante mentions using the Roland 100-M among other synthesizers and highlights its importance in his setup, including live performances like Fuji Rock.
From a MusicRadar interview with Aphex Twin:
I bought a Roland 100M monosynth when I was 13 - it’s like an [SH-]101 - but I got really pissed off with it. I started customising my keyboards, then changing the components. When we started secondary school there was an electronic course, so music and electronics went hand in hand. Plus the fact that I didn't have any money! If I wanted to get anything different, I had to change what I had or make something.
