"For a lot of the bass sounds we just start off with something simple and then mangle it, or use our old favourite [Cakewalk] Z3TA plug-in. I love it, for anything. For some reason it's one of the quickest go-to synths for anything I want to do. I just think of a sound, go to that and do it, which I don't really have with anything else. There's sounds you can't get from Z3TA and that's why we have analogue synths, but at the same time, if you want something digital and fucked-up, they aren't really going to do it, except maybe for the Andromeda. If you want something like that it's not going to come from a Prophet. I find with Z3TA, more than anything else, it just fits right in against drums, the way that we do them, and I've never found anything else that does it so well."

“A lot of basslines comes from [Native Instruments] FM8 or [Cakewalk] Z3ta+ but we’ll use anything as long as it has the right waveforms that won’t interfere with the kicks,”

AmpliTube 2 was used for Perry ap Gwynedd's guitar on In Silico, as stated in this June 2008 Sound on Sound interview.
Guitarist Perry ap Gwynedd has seen his role in the band grow since Hold Your Colour, and the instrument is now central to Pendulum's sound. On the new album, the guitar sounds were created using IK Multimedia's Amplitube 2 and TC Electronic's TC Thirty plug-in. "There's a lot of guitars in there, and our guitarist was a bit pissed that we wouldn't record an amp, to begin with. We wanted to keep it software-based, just because you don't really know what sort of sound you're going to end up with. For what it is, even including a guitar in the first place is going to throw our fans off like nothing else, so for us to have that sort of last-minute 'That doesn't sound right, let's use this...' We just use them as walls of sound alongside the synths. They don't tend to feature by themselves too much at any point. With one of the tracks we tried to do a guitar solo as Aphex Twin might have done it, which I liked the idea of. The brilliant thing about our guitarist Perry is that you can have nothing in mind and he'll go 'OK, just leave me here for 10 minutes,' and he'll come up with something that is better than the entire tune you had before."

It ended up being quite flexible, because we got him to do dynamic multisamples of each kit that we got [drummer Paul Kodish] to play, and then loaded that into Kontakt, and had both the live recorded audio and the audio from Kontakt coming out of about 32 different channels into 32 groups, and we just mixed them from the groups. So any time if we played something and we were changing the song, at any point we could just switch the live drums out and play it in Kontakt. It was quite cool mixing through the groups, because you couldn't even tell that it was switched. Literally, it just sounded like the same take.
