The Prophet is a classic which might be in a lot of producers’ studios. Beside the sound of the synth, which I would describe as clean, precise and less dirty than the Juno, it’s the endless options you have with the Prophet which blow me away. I’ve had it half a year now and it seems the new possibilities and new ways of creating a sound will never end.

There is a Korg Microkorg in this picture from his Instagram.

"This is surely as much of a classic as the two synths I have. It’s just perfect for finding the right bass drum. Very user-friendly as well and powerful as hell. I wasn’t using it for a while but I’m discovering it again at the moment. Nearly every bass drum on my latest productions (unreleased as yet) came out of the Jomox. There are a couple of parameters I usually always put on a certain value – you have to figure it out, but once you have your workflow with it, results come quickly."

In his 2019 tour, he's using a Behringer Model D in his eurorack system.

In the Resident Advisor session "The Definition of Happiness," David August is seen using a Fender Rhodes Mark II Stage Piano 73, positioned beneath his MacBook.
