Bonobo

Towards the middle of the interview he says "After talking to Kieran Hebden [aka Four Tet], I decided to get the Arturia V Collection, and it sounds fantastic."

"Massive is the most versatile synth out there. I use it relentlessly for a huge variety of sounds — from atmospheric pads to deep, layered basslines. Its capabilities seem endless."

In this video Bonobo shows how he made kiara. During the string parts he clearly pulls up the miroslav philharmonik plugin. Although for the actual song kiara he probably used real string players, this still proves that he owns and uses the plugin.

After being asked: "Is all of your processing/production work done inside Ableton Live?", he answered "There are a few third-party gizmos that I couldn't live without. The PSP Vintage Warmer is on everything; the SoundToys stuff goes well beyond anything you'd expect from a delay unit - it almost has a voice of its own; and CamelPhat is a versatile combined filter and overdrive - a very creative tool."
