In Ed O'Brien's official diary, he talks about Radiohead's: Optimistic and Kid A being initially sketched on a Roland MC-505. This evidence is enforced by The King Of Gear's Blog Archive called "Thom's Percussion" where it states >According to Ed’s diary, the song Kid A "started off as a Thom doodle on the [Roland MC] 505…“

Used for vocals on OK Computer, as stated by producer Nigel Godrich in this interview from the August 1997 issue of The Mix (as archived by Radiohead fansite Citizen Insane).

Vocals were recorded alternately with a Neumann valve 47, and an Australian Rode valve mic, through a Urei 1176 compressor, and a Pultec valve EQ on a few things.

"With months of hindsight, I actually think the Australian mic is a bit too bright, but if it's a good performance, that's it. Maybe the vocal sound suffered from the fact that it was occasionally just thrown down, but I don't think so."
