Gregor Tresher

Like many producers in electronic music I wanted to own my own Moog synth from the beginning. So the Minimoog was one of the first synths I bought when I started to make a little money with my music. I used it a lot in my early productions. My first records under my real name featured sawtooth basslines a lot. This is the synth I made them with. I have to have it serviced, though – it’s not very stable now. That’s why I bought the Voyager two years ago – to have a fully functional Moog synth when I need one. I’m not using it a lot nowadays but I will never sell my Minimoog as it was my first real proper synth.

This is my most important synthesiser at the moment. I bought the main module in France last year and the expander a couple of months later in Los Angeles. It’s a semi-modular synth that was built in 1976, the same year I was born. I really like the fact that it has been on this planet as long as I have, and now – 37 years later – we make music ‘together’.

I use the Mono/Poly a lot. It’s the lead sound on a lot my of my records. I bought it in South Germany many years ago and I like it for its filter and also for its very fat sound when using all four VCOs.

In an interview with DJsounds, Gregor Tresher can be seen using the Roland Juno-60 in his studio at the 5:58 mark.
