Squarepusher

Mainstays include a Roland TB-303, TR-909 and SH-101.

Bits of Jenkinson's gear can be seen in the cover of his 2006 album "Hello Everything". The synth at the left is the Octave CAT Synth. Other confirmed examples of his gear present in this image include the Yamaha QY700 Sequencer (middle top) and his custom six-string Zoot bass (top right).

"As well as unusual and custom?built gear, Tom Jenkinson retains some of the staple instruments of '90s dance music, among them a Roland TB303," reads the caption to this photo, in this article.

Key to this type of song creation is gear that has been in Jenkinson’s studio for decades. Mainstays include a Roland TB-303, TR-909 and SH-101, Eventide Orville and DSP4000 harmonizers, a Yamaha QY700 sequencer, and Yamaha CS80, TX81Z and FS1R synths.

This 1998 Squarepusher interview is present on the documentary named "Modulations". Here, the Yamaha VSS-30 is shown at the 0:16 mark, followed by Tom's description of it: "I've actually got a little Yamaha sampler. It's a little keyboard, like a toy. It's got an input and an output, so basically you can use it on the studio or whatever, make up sounds in it. Loads of stuff from my new album were done in this. People forget how amazing that is and what you can do with it." Also, one of the interviewer's quotes from Squarepusher's Sound On Sound interview (http://www.soundonsound.com/people/squarepusher) refers to this 1998 interview, as well as the VSS-30: "A huge amount of gear has also been and gone, like the Yamaha VSS80 8?bit toy keyboard sampler shown in some late '90s television footage of Jenkinson." It was, however, clearly mispelled. First, there is no such VSS-80 Yamaha sampler. Second, the characteristics mentioned by Tom Jenkinson perfectly matches the ones present in the VSS-30: "Little keyboard, like a toy", "It's got an input and an output" (which can also be seen in the VSS-30 manual). The back part (with the Yamaha logo) is identical to the VSS-30's, and the two orange buttons at the upper-right side of the keyboard (OVERWRITE and SAMPLE) can also be briefly spotted in this video (0:22 and 0:31 marks).

In this article, this photo of Squarepusher's Yamaha CS80 is included, along with the caption, "A recent addition that goes against Jenkinson's usual principles is his vintage Yamaha CS80 polysynth."

In a "Future Music" magazine interview, a photograph shows Squarepusher using the Roland V-Synth XT, positioned centrally at the lower section of the image.

The gear can be seen throughout the entirety of this video that the artist released of themselves making music in a studio.

The artist can be seen twiddling the knobs about of the TD-3 in this self-released video.

In the documentary "Meet Squarepusher" from The Creators Project, previously unseen footage of Tom Jenkinson's studio from various periods (such as his 1995, 2000 and more recent setups) are revealed. If the video gets paused precisely in the 3:05 mark, there's a synth in the background that strongly resembles the MS-20. And since the MS-20 Mini was only released in 2013, it can only be the original one.

This picture, taken from the Squarepusher's Sound On Sound interview, reveals an AXON AX100 MIDI Module that Tom uses with his bass. It's found in the right portion of the picture, near the two bass guitars. It's a blue rack module made by Blue Chip. This is the main visual difference between this AX100 and the AX100MKII, which was actually made by Terratec.
