The Elektron Machinedrum has great sounds and feel. I use it all the time. I enjoy the control of individual sounds.

«The Jomox Xbase 999 on the right has that old Roland feel and punchiness to match.»

In an interview with Attack Magazine, Mark Farina discusses his use of the Mackie Onyx Blackjack, highlighting his preference for analogue-style mixers.

The mixer is a Mackie Onyx 24×4. I like the analogue-style mixers.

Behind the OP-1 you can see the new Korg Volca Sample, which is a fun little piece. Lovely step control and portability. I used it on my new EP, coming out on Doin’ Work

I’m an old school MPC guy. I love these. As well as the MPC4000 I have a 2500 and a 500, and my old MPC2000 too. I used to just make everything on that, like my Landscape EP on Panhandle.

In an interview with Attack Magazine, Mark Farina's studio setup is shown to include a Roland AIRA TR-8 drum machine.

I have a MOTU 828 and MIDI Express but lately I’ve been in the outboard gear analogue mode.

The Dave Smith Tempest is one of my newer additions. Very complex sound control. Drum machines have come a long way.
