Del tha Funkee Homosapien

I have a lot of Elektron gear. The Octatrack, it's like magic, basically, the way it works. You can do anything with a sample. I've got so many sample collections, and the Octatrack just makes it all usable to me.

I use the Octatrack probably the most. I've got two Octatracks, one spare in case one breaks.

Was the Machinedrum your first Elektron instrument? No, the first one I got was the Octatrack. I was at Sweetwater with my DJ, and I was going to get something else, but he told me I had to get the Octatrack. "It's dope. You can do anything with the samples. I'm telling you, just buy it!" I was like, "ok!" That was my first one, right there.

I don't remember what exactly youtube video i captured some time ago, sorry. But here you can see Del showing his SP-505 at his home studio

I've got two Machinedrums, the sampling one and the original one. I use those a hell of a lot, too, and I've got the Rytm. The Machinedrum was the second one I got, and I bought the Rytm two years ago.

At 01:01 in this video Del shows points at the corner of his studio: "I've got SP 1200 right here, sittin up here you know"

Around 01:03 Del shows his SP 1200 "...actually sitting on top of another sampler, Yamaha A4000 sampler..."

In a photograph, Del tha Funkee Homosapien is clearly seen utilizing a Shure U2 SM58 microphone, providing direct evidence of his preference for this specific gear in his musical performances.
