James Blake's Keyboards and Synthesizers
The label on the back of James' Prophet '08 can be seen at 6:02 in this video.
In this interview at 2:04, James mentions that he writes music when he's on the road on the OP-1. He goes on to say that "Digital Lion" from the record "Overgrown" was written on it.
A Moog Minitaur can be seen at the bottom of the screen, at 4:17 in this video.
Picture of James' new Prophet X taken after the show was over. Typically has the Nord Wave over the main Nord but changed out the Wave for the Prophet X for the Assume Form Tour.
As we can see on this video they use Taurus 3 for both live and production. Taurus is a part of the bands sound so it is worth to be mentioned.
There is a clear shot of James Blake using a Nord 4 Lead Synthesizer at 1:40 in this performance video.
You can clearly see Nord Piano 4 in James's setup at 3:55.
At about 35:28 you can see that the higher Nord is actually a Wave rather than a lead.
In this Billboard feature, dated Oct 7, 2021, the Moog DFAM is cited as a key ingredient of James' new album:
“I used this one to create the kick drums on ‘Show Me,’" says Blake. "I also used it on a couple other songs on the record for percussion. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a synth drum sound like the DFAM. It’s really weird. Once I got my hands on this, I knew there was nothing else like it. The only way I could get this sound is by buying this. You could really knock out any kick drum you’ll ever use on this thing. You can make anything on it. This is my first record using it. I actually bought two of them while I was in New York. I thought it was great to experiment with, so we just jammed for hours, many days in a row on this thing.”
In this Vault.fm post (https://vault.fm/jamesblake/drop/baby-rose-musical-note-rose-soon), James Blake is seen using a Moog Matriarch Dark synthesizer throughout the video. The instrument is clearly identifiable by its dark/black color scheme, large semi-modular layout, and distinctive red buttons on the front panel, all matching the Matriarch Dark design.
