Aphex Twin

On the Syro album packaging, there is a list that shows us WHAT gear was used, WHERE it was used and in WHICH song of the album it was used. On the left side of this list, one can see written upside-down "TR727", which refers to the Roland TR-727 Rhythm Composer, a close brother to the 707 (almost a clone) but with different sounds and colors.

On Description of 'Korg funk 5' , Poly 61 is Mentioned.

Aphex Twin uses two Korg Monologue synthesizers, one in black, as showcased in his "u473t8+e [141.98bpm][piezoluminescence Mix]" track on SoundCloud.

The entire track is made with a Digisound 80. Aphex Twin also includes an excerpt from what seems to be an official manual or handbook that came with the synthesizer.

In the comments, Aphex Twin wrote: "but i used things like the super smooth tc electronic 1210 for processing and akg spring verbs, big mixing desk etc".

Appears on the equipment list used to make Syro.

Aphex Twin lists the A Designs Reddi amongst the gear used in the recording of his 2014 album Syro.

Per this June 2017 feature in Fact Magazine, Aphex Twin was spotted using an Epoch Modular Benjamin as part of their modular live rig that same year.

On this link, there are (what's left of) Richard David James's comments/replies to some of his fans. In response to the user @kinbotte, Richard not only confirms that he owns the Elektron Analogue Rytm, but also a bunch of other gear: "ive never found one i really liked. i would love to design my own with someone who could build it for me, I dont really want to spend my time building instruments. Elektron RYTM is prob fave right now, although it doesn't sample which is a shame, dsi tempest, RSF SD140, Pearl fightman[needs mods], Pearl sc40,doepfer a112, Dynacord Add one,loads good plugins these days, sds3, Klone dual perc synth. For synth drum sounds, always best to make your own on a modular+imagination, can make more complex and original sounds than any of the above really, just more of a pain to conjure up."

When asked about usage of the ProMars on the comment section of "Love 7" (track posted on SoundCloud via his account "user18081971"), Richard confirms his experience with the particular piece of gear: "MRS-2, yes used it on some unusual sounding tracks a few months back, beefy synth..missing a few things from the jp4 but has an extra osc!"

Listed on the Syro gear list as being one of the pieces of gear used on the recording of such album.

Also on the Syro gear list, provided on the album packaging, is the Fulltone Tape Echo.

On the Syro album packaging is the official list of gear used on the recording stage of each song(s). The list mentions "Micmix Masteroom 2", but since there's no actual gear with that name, it can be assumed that it means it is another version (perhaps a successor) of the original Micmix Master Room XL-121 Reverb, or some sort of MKII. Taking that in consideration, the Micmix Master Room XL-210 Reverb meets this condition. Not only that, but the "2" on the gear list could mean that it's the 2-channel version (i.e also the XL-210).

The Syro gear list mentions "Pultec EQP1A3", which refers to the Pulse Techniques Program Equalizer EQP-1A3, probably because there was no room on the list for such a long name.

Also present on the extensive official Syro gear list is the Roland D550 Linear Synthesizer.

On Description of 'Korg funk 5' , Volca Sample is mentioned.

On the Syro album packaging, this piece of gear is listed as being a device used sometime during the recording of some song(s). But, there are a few details to keep in mind: It is as common for Richard to get expensive rare gear as it is for him to modify his gear. In this case, the list mentions this device as "Korg Minipops7 Midi sepouts", which indicates MIDI implementation and separate outputs.

Also to add on Richard's list of rare gear, the Marion ProSynth (mentioned on the Syro album packaging), made by Tom Oberheim and claimed by some to be more Oberheim than many after it.
