In this video [ https://youtu.be/x7teQR3B-z8?t=29] Martin Gore is seen remotely accepting Depeche Mode's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction from his home studio in 2020. Barefoot MicroMain27 Gen2s are behind him.

Gore is also seen in this image [ https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/unnamed-3-1024x768.jpg ] with MicroMain27s on his console.

at 2:02 he shows the Doepfer A-100

I purchased this guitar from MLG in 1979 so he could buy his first synth. Photo of MLG playing this guitar when performing with ‘Norman and the Worms’

He uses Famulus according to Red Witch .

Martin L. Gore of Depeche Mode utilizes the Soma Laboratory PULSAR-23 drum machine in their track "My Cosmos Is Mine" from their latest album. The PULSAR-23 provides the baseline and percussion throughout the song, as highlighted in the official audio video released by DepecheModeVEVO on YouTube. Notably, this track was written shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, adding a unique context to its creation.

Commonly used by Martin on stage. Incorrectly listed as Gretsch G6136TLTV White Falcon, Martin's guitar quite clearly features the center block body type, the more angular pickguard, an arch of switches along the curve of the body and the block inlays on the neck . All indicative of model 7595, as listed together with 7594 specs on this page of 1979 Gretsch guitar and bass catalog: https://www.vintageguitarandbass.com/gretsch/catalogues/1979_2.php#img

Martin Gore used a Roland MC-4 sequencer in the production of A Broken Frame. It is just visible at the bottom of the image.

From One Two Testing magazine, November 1982 (also the source of the image, http://www.muzines.co.uk/articles/when-the-wave-forms/4617#):

Time to change the subject. What's been the greatest advance in the studio?

Martin: 'I think probably the Roland MC4, that was a big breakthrough.'

The MC4 is the second in Roland's series of Microcomposers — very sophisticated computer-based sequencers that are able to control several synthesisers at once. Information is fed into them via a keypad on the front and with the right numbers you can dictate timing, pitch, duration and dynamics of each note, rub out the ones you don't want or rearrange whole sections to make up a song.

'We use it in the studio to run sequences and Danny has an old Roland SH-1 synth where each key has a number written on it in red. That's the number you put into the MC4 to get that note. It's also useful because I can take it home and work on a song, then bring it to the studio and play it back. Even if you don't use any of the riffs or sequences you've still got the length of the song programmed in.

'One of the disadvantages is that it won't run the PPG.'

'Yea,' continues an irate Andy. 'It's annoying that different synthesiser makers won't put in the right clocks and gates so you can use their equipment with someone else's. They all want you to carry on buying their gear, but every firm is good at some things and not at others so you'll always want to swap around.'

It's true that PPG are planning to bring out their own computer to operate the Wave, but right now, in Blackwing studio, that's no great help. Depeche did consider using the MC4 for live work, either alongside or possibly in place of the Teac tape. But it's the fear of road failure that keeps them off the idea.

'We have to be our own roadies at the airports. We each get a trolley,' explains Dave, 'and we see how the stuff comes down the chute: CRASH! I don't think the MC4 could stand it. If that went wrong on stage, you've had it. At least with a tape you can rewind and start again.'

At approximately 3:05 in the YouTube video titled "Depeche Mode - Everything Counts (Live From 101 HD)," Martin L. Gore is clearly seen playing a Hohner Soprano Melodica. This video, provided by Steve 86, serves as visual proof of his use of this musical instrument.

In this interview, Martin lists the percussion sources for Depeche Mode: "There are a couple of drum machines in the studio - a Roland TR808, a Korg KR55 and a new Linn is on the way — but those usually contribute only snares or hi hats. The bass drum, responsible for a lot of the feel, comes from the doughty ARP 2600." Along with this, there is a photo with an 808 on top of Martin's PPG Wave in the link.

A photograph shows a Roland SH-1 positioned on top of Martin L. Gore's PPG Wave, confirming his use of the synthesizer.

In the image provided, the RSF Kobol Expander II can be seen positioned to the left of Martin L. Gore, identifiable by the distinctive white logo on the top of the device.

In the video titled "Depeche Mode, Berlin 1984, Recording Sessions" by Daniel Haro, at 2:55, Martin L. Gore is seen attempting to play the sequence to the song "Lie to Me" on a NED Synclavier II.
