Aphex Twin

Per the Modulargrid profile submitted using alias "user1808197", Richard James used the Tiptop Audio Z-DSP in his Field Day 2017 live set.

This fact was verified, coincidentally, by FACT Magazine in their 2017 feature on the modular rig in question, thank to Richard James' once-unthinkable-but-now-consistent transparency re: his gear choices.

Per this Fact Magazine feature from June 2017, Aphex Twin was spotted using a M.A.S.F. Mo.s Model OSC 03 for live dates that year.

On this link, there are Richard David James's comments/replies to some of his fans (back when the account had a different name: "user487363530"). 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."
