In this interview, the AV Club asks Bernard, "You’re writing on Cubase—is that the program?" to which he replies, "Yes, we use Cubase... I know most people, probably professional musicians, use Logic and ProTools, but most people I worked with on this album just happened to use Cubase."

Digidesign Sound Tools

"We used S1000s; Korg T3; Juno 106; Prophet V; Voyetra Eight (best sounding poly analogue, but hard to program); DX5; Moog Source; MIDI Moog; Roland SH101 (red); Roland TR909; MT32; D110; Mac SE; Mac IIex; Sound Tools for stereo mastering, with Up Beat and Pro 4 for sequencing, though we have now changed to another sequencing package as neither of the two used previously worked correctly, a situation which I find extremely annoying."
