Marc Kinchen's Gear
Right at the start of the video (0:08) you can see Marc Kinchen using the M1 plugin.
Marc Kinchen is well known for the organ sounds of the M1.
"The Maschine is the heart of my whole setup. I do my drums in Maschine, I do my vocal samples in Maschine... this has been a life saver."
Marc Kinchen uses a Maschine to remix "Look Right Through" by Storm Queen in this video by Native Instruments.
This video shows MK's DJ setup with Native Instruments Traktor Scratch Pro software. He says, "You know, I can use Maschine, and make a song and port it over to Traktor and use it. But I like to almost see it where I can create a song live... That's where I hope it goes. Because obviously, that's my expertise - making songs. So if I can do that in a live setting, that's like, that's my dream."
Marc Kinchen shared this picture of his studio rack which includes this interface.

I used the Juno-106 a lot in the early 90s, then I think I got the Korg Triton.

I used the Roland JD-800 a lot, the one with all the knobs. I used the Proteus tons of times.
he says " I used the Yamaha TX81Z on Nightcrawlers for the horn sound."
In this video MK explains how he switched from the Native Instruments Traktor S4 to the Traktor X1 Mk2 (1:10).
He says: "When I first started to learn to DJ, was using the S4 and it was just easier for me, being a new DJ, to grasp everything. And then the X1 came out and I bought two of them, actually. And I started using those and then I started to figure how to use those with other DJ equipment and that kind of worked perfectly. And then when the MK2 came out, I was like, "It got even better." With the touchstrip you can do effects live, you can do loops live... It just made it a lot easier."
In this video you can see MK use a DJM-900nxs mixer.
