Only using samples was a little too limiting. {In the new live show,] I still use the Nord for the old sounds"

In a Vine video clip, Modeselektor is seen using the Critter & Guitari Pocket Piano. Given Modeselektor's role in Moderat, it's likely that Moderat also utilizes this tabletop synthesizer.
"...and I have a Guitar Rig system. I don't play guitar much—[only] for two songs—but Guitar Rig is really powerful for every kind of effect, so I use it a lot."
Find it on:
"...For over 10 years, we had played with software made by Sascha, Safety Scissors, and Joshua "Kit" Clayton. It's based on Max MSP and it's a simple eight-track live looper. You put loops in and they are all in sync. It can play them half time, double time—you can make funny, simple things."
"I don't have that much gear onstage but what I have gives me a lot of options. I have an Eventide H9... the one with the wheel. You can make your patches with an iPhone so these days you call your guitar effect! I have a Strymon BlueSky reverb that I use too, which is the best reverb I've heard in a box the size of a guitar pedal."
