MANIK

In this picture are a few Korg Volcas, which I love

In an interview with Attack Magazine, MANIK expressed his fondness for the Korg Volca Sample, mentioning its presence among his collection of Korg Volcas.

My beloved Steve Vai special edition Eventide Ultra-Harmonizer, which is my favourite rack effect. I picked it up a few years ago. I usually run all types of audio through it. It has some great flangers, reverbs and random digital delay/pitch settings which make things interesting. Toss this on a clap and smile.

Old school meets new school. I just love this Roland combo. I honestly believe the TR-8 is the best thing to come out in the recent ‘remake waves’ these classic analogue gear companies are getting into. It is by far my favourite drum machine, and I have used it on every track I made in 2015. ‘Buffalo Trace’, which dropped on Nice Age, is a great example of the use of TR-8.

Recently, I’ve been running the hats and/or claps through my Space Echo for extended tape delay and dirt. My Space Echo is a dirtier unit than most. I compared it to a friend’s once, and mine is for sure dirty and weird, and I like that.
