Sascha Konietzko

Sascha can be seen playing Bass Station II on their current tour.

His latest acquisition, a German-made Jomox XBase 09, is among his favorite pieces of gear. “It’s kind of a half-clone of the TR 909, but it has these really nifty things,” he says. “You can change the sounds in all steps of your patterns, tune your kick drum to play melodic sequences, or you can have filter sweeps on the hi-hats.

Konietzko gets the process rolling in a “little room full of stuff,” relying on drum machines like the Roland TR 909 and 707, samplers such as the Kurzweil 2000, E-mu Emix 20 and Prophet 202, a StudioVision Pro MIDI sequencer and Pro Tools running on a Mac 9600.
