In an interview in 2014

"(...) the RE-201 Space Echo. We use it on everything. It's very heavily used on the Kiasmos album, I think we tried sending almost every track trough it at some point.The grittiness and randomness of the tape is almost always a welcome addition to a stale sound. I don't even use it for echo most times. Send your pads to the tape without any repeat two times, pan them out and listen to that weird wobbly massive pad sound."

They can be seen using the Novation Launch Control clearly at 21:15 of the KEXP session at Iceland Airwaves. It's situated below the KAOSS Pad 3 on their set up.

On top of the rack on the right of the desk, there are two Chorus Echos.

"Our live setup actually evolves largely around the visual aspect – live projections and light programming. But we use Ableton Live to run the music. Supported by a few midi controllers, MS-10, MiniBrute and KaossPads."

No statement by the band. You can see the nagra on top of the left desk rack.
