Junkie XL's Gear
Keyboard Magazine March 2013 cover story
In 2:36, Junkie XL introduces his Roland Jupiter 80
"My go-to stuff is primarily my 5U modular system and my Eurorack modular system. On both of those I'm able to get tones and sounds for almost every movie, that's totally what that is. All of the other pieces of gear that I have, it totally depends on what the project is. For instance on Tomb Raider, I actually used a lot the Korg—it's like a half-modular system—the PS-3200 and the PS-3300. I have them retrofitted with Kenton, so I can access them by MIDI."
"Then I did this other project last year which was a documentary for Red Bull. It's called Distance Between Dreams with Ian Walsh, the star surfer. That was a very soft, ambient electronic score. I did everything live with MIDI and just mixed it on the board and that was the end result. I used the Jupiter-8 for that, the Jupiter-6, the Juno-6 with the sequencer, the MSQ, the Roland 60, the 106, also the GB4, Roland VP-03, the vocoder. I used a Roland S-770 sampler, which has a really great tone to it. A couple of Yamaha synthesizers, the CS-60, the CS-70M—all pretty rare machines to have. But for that kind of stuff they sound so fantastic."
"Then, I have a massive collection of samplers going back to one of the very first ones that came out, which was the Mirage. I'm working now on a movie with Peter Jackson—I can't tell anything about the movie at this point—but I'm using a lot of these older samplers because they give me a lot of quality. I'm using the ASR-10, Ensoniq, the Mirage. I'm using the Emulator II. It's all really good for that stuff."
