In this photo posted by Moby on Instagram, you can see the main portion of his home studio setup. On his desk you can see the primary midi controller keyboard he uses, the M-Audio Axiom Pro 61. In the Instagram he says, "It's 95 degrees outside so I'm inside writing new wave songs."

In the title of this video, Moby says the Roland CR-78 is the "best drum machine".

The construction of 'Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?' started with the vocals, which Moby had sampled three years earlier from a recording of a 1953 gospel choir. Once safe in the memory of Moby's sampler, in this case an Akai 3200

Following the piano chords, Moby introduced the main drum part, programmed on a Roland TR909. To complement the drums a sampled breakbeat taken from a hip-hop record was laid on top, with its tempo adjusted to suit the song's rhythm. Moby: "I never time-stretch really. I don't care about changing the pitch. If I have a drum sample and want it to be a little bit faster, I just speed it up and sacrifice the original pitch. I've never understood why people worry so much about maintaining the original pitch. If you slow it down the pitch gets lower, if you speed it up the pitch gets higher -- big deal!"

Everything Is Right
As I browsed through the sleeve notes on Moby's albums I noticed that the gear lists documented in the 1995 release Everything Is Wrong are almost identical to his current setup. Could it really be possible that this successful musician had no spare cash to spend on new studio gear during the last four years? "From Everything Is Wrong until now I've bought a vocoder and a new sampler and that's about it. On the one hand I'd love to get a bunch of new equipment, but on the other hand there's something to be said for working with equipment with which I'm comfortable. I'm thinking that at some point I will actually switch over and get a full Pro Tools setup and start doing things more in the computer, but for this record I didn't feel compelled to do that."

Come ho passato in rassegna attraverso le note di copertina di album di Moby ho notato che le liste di marcia documentate nella versione 1995 tutto è sbagliato sono quasi identiche alla sua configurazione attuale. Potrebbe davvero essere possibile che questo musicista di successo non aveva contanti di ricambio da spendere per nuovi attrezzi in studio nel corso degli ultimi quattro anni? "Da tutto è sbagliato fino ad ora ho comprato un vocoder e un nuovo campionatore e questo è tutto. Da un lato mi piacerebbe ottenere un mucchio di nuove attrezzature, ma d'altra parte c'è qualcosa da dire per lavorare con attrezzature di cui io sento a mio agio. sto pensando che a un certo punto io in realtà passare e ottenere una completa configurazione Pro Tools e iniziare a fare le cose più nel computer, ma per questo record non mi sento in dovere di fare quella."

"This Chamberlin Rhythmate is part of the private legendary drum machine collection of Moby.

The Chamberlin Rhythmate has been touted as the first drum machine ever produced in numbers. It's estimated that only ten were made by Harry Chamberlin in his garage back in 1949.

The Rhythmate uses a 1" magnetic tape loop read by a tape head that can be moved up or down to play back 14 separate drum patterns at a variety of speeds.

The Rhythmate has a built-in amp and 12" speaker. Essentially a tube amp.

Serial: 1176. Unit works! Preset 3 doesn’t make sound. Tempo knob has been snapped, but it still there and still works. Sold As-Is.

All items in Moby's Drum Machine Collection ship fully insured with delivery confirmation and include a signed and embossed Certificate Of Authenticity from Moby"
