Rob Swire

seen on the rack to the right of the desk

Rob Swire is frequently seen using the Korg KONTROL49 49-Key MIDI/USB Controller in his setups, notably in front of his computer monitors. This can be observed in the YouTube video "Sooner - Pendulum 17/03/10" by Zane Lowe, as well as in the Future Music 2013 interview and various Twitter posts.

“The Muse Receptor has become an integral part of the live setup. We’ve got five of those on stage, plus more in the studio. Basically, they allow you to take anything from the studio and put it in front of a live audience without it feeling like you’re just playing along to backing tracks.”

"I love that, but I'm sure there's something that could do the job a tiny bit better. I've heard an SSL, and for our mixes I liked the Roll Music better. Most of the other ones we tested I couldn't stand. The API 2500 was the one other one that I liked, especially the 'Old' setting, but there was something about the top end, it made it slightly watery, it wasn't really what we were after. But I think if I had to get another one that'd be it.

Vocals, meanwhile, were recorded in a corner of the band's main working area. "It's all me," says Rob. "I recorded them with a Brauner VMA, and unless we were using it as an effect vocal, there might be a bit of EQ first, and then through the Blue Stripe [1176 compressor].
