Martin Rev's Gear
Martin shows the Select-A-Rhythm that Suicide used on "Frankie Teardrop" at 2:13.
Martin Rev is pictured using the Seeburg Rhythm Prince drum machine, which is known for its distinctive sound on Suicide's first album.
"Technology had somewhat flipped out since two years before," says Rev. "All of a sudden there was the Prophet-5 synth and these drum machines"
Around 2:45 in the attached video you can see Rev adjust a part of his rig and the DM-300 is visible.
Martin Rev is playing a Korg Triton in this video. It can be seen quite clearly at 2:00 that this is the standard 61 key Triton based on the size of the keyboard, the configuration of the input/output jacks, and that the back reads simply "Korg Triton Music Workstation/Sampler," as only the original version does.
