Jim Guthrie

In this interview with Native Instruments, Jim says "I guess a must-have for somebody like me is the OP1, a fantastic piece of gear. That one I love because I don’t know what the hell is going on half the time (laughs). They don’t label everything, you don’t know what variable you’re changing. Like there’s a squiggly line, and you turn a dial and the squiggly line turns into a straight line. If you use your ears though you can figure out which aspect of the sound you’re changing, and I like that because it’s abstract and it sort of forces you listen more."

Jim talks about his Akai AX60 in the interview with Native Instruments: "I got a lot of hardware, like this old Akai 612 sampler which I love. It’s one of the first rack samplers ever made I think. And I have the keyboard that goes with it, which is the Akai AX60, so you could blend samples with the synth sounds and use the envelopes, filters and stuff from the keyboard to get some new sounds."
