Tom Robinson

'I look forward to people like Roland coming in on the act with something a bit more affordable — meantime I've got the Boss DSD 2 sampling pedal which is great fun!!'

Although Tom owns an SBX80, swears by an RE501 Chorus Echo and is recording much of his current song with a Juno 106, it's the Drumatix and TB303 Bassline which he finds indispensable.

'After Sector 27 fell through I moved to Hamburg to get away from it all, taking my Portastudio, Bassline, Chorus Echo and the trusty TR808 on which I eventually wrote "War Baby". (I've since switched to a TR606 Drumatix because it's quicker to programme and you can use it anywhere: it's powered by batteries as well as a mains adaptor, and you just plug headphones in the back.)'

'I bought a Linn Drum when I'd made some money from "War Baby", but I sold it again and went back to the Drumatix. Actually the Linn was rather hard to sell by then...'

"Well there'd been these rumours of a new Roland Reverb for months and as luck would have it the first SRV-2000s arrived in the shops just as we were finishing the new studio. We got one at the beginning of August and my engineer and I have been using it pretty constantly ever since."
