Front 242

Per this May 04, 2021 feature from gearnews.de:

The drum sound is now the quite hard sound of the E-Mu drumulator, which leads bone-dry through the No Comment tracks.

Per this May 04, 2021 feature from gearnews.de:

Now a more technological phase begins and there are several interesting mixes with strong use of the TR-909. The nineties are almost at the end and Front by Front has long been recorded. Their sound with the "emulator" as the center was still considered THE appearance. In the phase after that, the emulator disappeared. A Nord Lead is spotted on stage but also a Korg M1 or a Korg Z1

Per the liner notes of Front 242's 2003 album Pulse:

Some of the tools used: Clavia Nordlead 2, NordModular, Ddrum4, Korg Z1, Lassence Ventury II, Roland System 100, Vdrum, JD990, Yamaha VL1, Sherman filterbank, Roland Rss, Line 6 EchoPro, Ableton live and Mac computers

Note: the difference between the ddrum 4 and 4 SE is just an upgraded firmware. Ddrum 4 can be upgraded to 4 SE with a simple PROM chip upgrade... so I opted not to add the original ddrum 4 to the database.

In this Reddit r/synthesizers thread from 2020 Redditor Spambakedbeans shared a scan of a letter he received from Front 242 in 1991 when he wrote to them asking what gear they used.

A Roland R8 is the sole "rhythm box" listed.

Yes... this letter and the fact that the band took the time to write back is cool as #$%&.
