He also mentions his first keyboard being a sequential in a pitchfork article (The Neptunes’ Chad Hugo on the Music That Made Him) "My first keyboard was a Sequential—I have it right here actually. [rolls chair over to the keyboard] It’s synth-based, really low sine wave stuff, and it was part of my love for machines."
