Panda Bear

Panda's favorite sampler.

"I've been using the Boss SP-303 almost exclusively (besides drums) for three years or so now. I think it's about time to move on, at least focus-wise. But it's been my favorite thing to use without a doubt." - Panda bear (Noah Lennox) for Pitchfork, February 15, 2007.

As you can see in the proof image, Panda Bear is using a Roland SP-555 to make sampling with his guitar.

Sampler?wise, Weitz and Lennox favour the Roland SP404 and the more recent SP555. "The SP404 was just what we started using,” Weitz says, "'cause it was what we could afford and it was the most simple thing. And now it's become an instrument that we know really well. It's really user?friendly. You can do things in real time on it. So we've gotten used to them. We almost may be approaching a point where we know them too well and it's time to try something else.”

In page 4 of this article Noah states that he uses the Apollo sound card, and that 70% of the plugins he uses are Universal Audio
