At 1:00 (and throughout), you can see the UC-33 to the right of Four Tet's signature SP-303.
"I use Ableton Live controlled with an APC 40 and an old UC33 Evolution. All the drums are coming from the Elektron Analog Rythm."
Gautier Serre in an interview in 2011 said: "All my songs, I made them on Cubase. As a machine, I use the UC33 E, it's a pretty cheap machine but it works well. And the pad machine that allows me to trigger the samples is an Ovation. But I'm not very tech-savvy: once I've figured out how to do my stuff, it's good."
In French: G: "Tous mes morceaux, je les ai faits sur Cubase. Comme machine, j'utilise l'UC33 E, c'est une machine assez cheap mais ça fonctionne bien. Et la machine à pads qui me permet de déclencher les samples est une Ovation. Mais je ne suis pas très féru de technique: une fois que j'ai trouvé comment faire mes trucs, c'est bon."
