Sonique (Colombia)

Sonique (Colombia) used the Yamaha PSS-680 during the early phase of the band as a controller for Ableton Live. This synthesizer, featuring a small 2-operator FM synth, was instrumental in introducing the band to FM synthesis. This usage is documented on their official Facebook page.

We have one with the SP 808 EX OS, which enables use of 250 mb zip drive and a lot of other functions. Used it a lot in the old days live for triggering samples, we used the internal synth as well

Use it live for acid basslines both internally and externally MIDI sequenced

Use it in studio for organ sounds and polyphonic stabs

Use in studio for pads mostly, sometimes live as a master keyboard

Use in studio for sampling from vinyl and as MIDI sequencer

Sonique (Colombia) mentions using the Hohner Student 32 Melodica for certain dub-influenced tracks, where it's enhanced with tape delay effects. This usage is highlighted in a Facebook photo post by Sonique.
