Joie Hinton's Gear
Per this 2005 photograph from the Glade Festival, Joie can be seen playing a well-worn Roland SH-5. While this is only a shot of the rear of the unit, the case-shape is unique to the SH-5, neither Roland, nor any other synth manufacturer used that shape for another model.
Additionally, the story of Joie's SH-5 is recounted in this January, 1997 issue of Sound on Sound:
However, it turns out that Joie's Roland SH5, which he bought new way back in 1977, is the Eat Static equivalent of Ed's Pro Ones, as Merv explains: "We always turn to that — even if we don't use it in a track CV'd or sampled, it would be acting as an audio processor using its audio input. The band‑pass filter on it is like a mad filter and EQ going at the same time. We use it for gating a lot, rather like a noise gate shutting on and off with a rounded filter effect thrown in. I'm dreading the day it packs up for good; trying to find another one is going to cost us at least two grand by today's prices, I'd say — assuming we can find one."
"Joie is also the proud owner of a PPG Wave 2.3 (the Waldorf Wave's predecessor — see the RetroZone in SOS December 1996), and is therefore well qualified to sing the Waldorf's praises, or otherwise: "The new one's definitely less buzzy! The old PPG is astonishing really, and has a totally distinctive kind of sound to it." (soundonsound.com, Jan 1997)
