Rival Consoles

The main synth of choice is Prophet 8 and now it’s Revision (Rev2). http://www.stampthewax.com/2018/05/24/talking-tech-rival-consoles/

This is a great synth which I use all the time. I think it’s best for subtle ambience rather than big massive synth sounds. It has a very deep modulation matrix, lots of scope for complex sounds. I wish the filter was warmer though!

I also use Korg Minilogue (this was used on ‘Be Kind’, which an improvisation using just one layer of the synth).

A classic synth again. I use this for very, very simple sub bass ’cause it’s so warm and powerful. It always cuts through a mix.

Moog Mother32s I used for some textural things.

I got the Matrixbrute at the very end of making Persona so it wasn’t used, but it is amazingly powerful!

The Yamaha Reface CP I used a lot for ambient delayed-out Rhodes sounds.

In his most recent Facebook post you can the Moog Matriarch alongside his Prophet Rev 2 desktop.

In the video titled "Brush Marks | Rival Consoles: The Making of ‘Landscape from Memory’," released by Ableton, the Make Noise Strega synthesizer is visibly used by Rival Consoles both on stage and in the studio at the timestamp 2:34.
