"If we're disregarding any computers here just for this Q, I would give the mpc1000 a good exercise with its JJOS now n then. Our RS integrator is a worthy distraction too. DMX has always been there for me too."

"I like the 202 sequencer. It's like playing dominoes or something." – Sean Booth

"It's more like working with Legos I think." – Rob Brown

Everyone thought the [Yamaha] DX100 was amazing to do bass lines, but we didn't do that for ages. It seemed like there was so much more to them to explore, like they're good for brassy, reedy sounds. You could be working for five years with a crappy drum machine and delay unit and still find new things in there.

In this photo shared from Autechre's website, you can see a Clavia Nord Modular on the left side of the table.

Apart from trackers and our Atari. On the Monomachine I’m well into the drum sounds. Odd choice, I know but they’re dope. A really tasty selection.

Rob from Autechre said in a Sound on Sound article, "a couple of months ago we bought the Kenton Pro4, and our old Korg MS20."

What are you up to at the moment? I hear a lot of noises in the background. In the studio working on bits of our live set. Fine tuning. We’re using the Elektron SPS-1UW and SFX-60 alongside a Nord modular G2 and an Akai MPC1000, with a bitstream controller. It is a similar setup to what we used to use back in 1993, but slicker basically and a lot more capable. We used laptops for a while, between 1996 and 2002, and we had tons of crashes. Home made sequencers we would modify on the road and which would always be pretty buggy as a result of that didn’t help. There were other factors obviously: OS and driver updates, club conditions, heat and humidity.

In an interview with Sound on Sound Autechre said, "We're still using the Nord Lead 1".

In an interview with "Sound on Sound" Rob and Sean say that they use the Roland Juno 106 Synthesizer.

Autechre's hardware samplers include the likes of the Ensoniq ESR and EPS, Kurzweil K2500, Emu E-Synth, and Casio samplers like the FZ1, FZ10, SK1, SK5 and SK100. "Changing them is brilliant fun," remarks Booth about the latter three, "get the backs off them and a few bits of wire and have an amazing time. We mess around with electronics, and have loads of broken half-bits of gear lying around. I learned some things at college and can use a soldering iron."

Autechre said in an interview, "We still have quite a bit of analogue gear and we still use it. It's just there, it's part of what we do, like the 202, the Roland SH2, or Korg MS10 and MS20, real cheap basic techno stuff from the time we were into acid house and dirty sounds.".

Sean from Autechre said in an interview with Sound on Sound, "the first stuff we had was a [Roland TR] 606, a [Casio] SK1 and SK5..."

In the list "SOME OF THE AUTECHRE HARDWARE" in their Sound on Sound interview it said that they use the Yamaha DX11.

In an interview with Sound on Sound it said, "Autechre's hardware samplers include the likes of the Ensoniq ESR and EPS, Kurzweil K2500, Emu E-Synth, and Casio samplers like the FZ1, FZ10, SK1, SK5 and SK100.".

Autechre used the FS1r tone generator

In the November 1997 issue of Sound on Sound magazine, Autechre discusses using the Korg Prophecy synthesizer.

Autechre said in an interview, "We still have quite a bit of analogue gear and we still use it. It's just there, it's part of what we do, like the 202, the Roland SH2, or Korg MS10 and MS20, real cheap basic techno stuff from the time we were into acid house and dirty sounds.".
