Boards of Canada
Scottish electronic duo
Boards of Canada's Studio Equipment
"We have five or six samplers, but my favorite by far is still the Akai S1000. It's an old tank now, and the screen has faded so that I almost can't read it, but I know it inside out. It's the most spontaneous thing for making up little tunes. It adds something to the sound - maybe the lower bit depth has something to do with that."
From an interview w/ Michael Sandison.
"Whether they're working separately or together, getting ideas down is generally a result of recording extended jams to tape on anything from a Tascam MSR-16 reel-to-reel to an old Revox recorder to a Grundig machine to an ordinary cassette. Remix, 2005"
The back of an Akai S3200 can be seen in this photo taken during a live performance of Boards Of Canada.
In these photos of live performances of Boards of Canada we can see how they use the Spirit Folio SX mixer, you can recognize the mixer due to: its shape, the logo, the number of audio inputs, and the fader that can be seen in the photo on the left. For the time in which these mixers were marketed everything fits.
