Kevin Saunderson

Per Music Technology magazine Sept., 1988:

Saunderson's instrument arsenal now takes in a Roland S550, Casio CZ5000, Roland JX8P, Korg Poly 800, Roland TB303 (the acid-house bassline machine) and Ensoniq Mirage. Drum-machine chores are taken care of by Roland's TR909, 808 and 727 together with an Alesis HR16 ("one of the cleanest drum machines I've ever heard") and his own sampled sounds.

He says, "It was a CZ-5000. A 5 or a 2, but I think it was the 5000. No samples, just straight-up parameters, getting down with the oscillators, and I found some magic."

Per Music Technology magazine Sept., 1988:

Currently Saunderson's favourite sampler is his Roland S550 - a fairly recent acquisition.

"I have around 125 disks for it", he enthuses. "I use it for drum sounds, synth sounds, guitar sounds, orchestra sounds, strings, jungle sounds, church bells... More or less anything, really. In fact, the S550's taken over from the Mirage. That's out."
