"This Razor synth is something real different... dead easy to use and above all, attacks the eardrums in a proper way, sharp as fok!"

Liam Howlett, the driving force behind The Prodigy, utilizes the Arturia Prophet V plugin, which is a versatile synthesizer software combining the Prophet 5, Prophet VS, and Prophet Hybrid. This plugin is known for its rich sound and extensive features, including a modulation matrix and over 400 presets. According to The Prodigy info site, this software is part of Howlett's setup, showcasing its integration into his electronic music production.

"I've always been a beats man and this percussion hits big and hard. The effects side of it, specifically the distortion is very special -it's the cinematic width and sound that makes it very different to anything else out there."

Liam Howlett of The Prodigy utilizes Steinberg's ReCycle, an audio processing tool designed for manipulating drum loops and grooves through slicing techniques. This software enables users to adjust loop tempos to match sequencer tempos, layer grooves recorded at different tempos, and perform advanced quantization tasks. ReCycle's features also include the ability to edit grooves as if they were individual sounds, transmit samples to various samplers, and save loops in formats like SoundFonts or Mixman files. More details on Howlett's use of ReCycle can be found on Theprodigy.info.
