In an undated interview with Steelberry Clones, Daniel B. of Front 242 discussed his progression through music technology. Paraphrasing/translating for Daniel, the interviewer wrote:

Personally Daniel did not want to learn any instrument, although started as a drummer, so he ventured into the field of synthesizers. actually his first synthesizer was a Roland System 101 back in the 70’s. Things like the Fairlight was far too expensive, but the fact that Daniel got a job in a music shop allowed him to explore a lot of the new gear that came about, e.g. the Roland MC4 Micro Composer. (The MC-4 MicroComposer was an early microprocessor-based music sequencer released by the Roland Corporation. It could be programmed using the ten key numeric keyboard or a synthesizer keyboard using the keyboards control voltage and gate outputs.) So in summary Daniel says that his biggest influence was through the love of machines.

In an undated interview with Steelberry Clones, Daniel B. of Front 242 states:

On the Nothing But Noise album we have a very standard set up and in the center sits a Octopus sequencer, which from my perspective is more of an instrument then a controller. It has its roots in the analog world.
