Tomethy Furse

"I also used a bunch of different modules as well as the René. I've got lots of Intellijel modules, and I put a lot of parts through the Korgasmatron for shaping and stereo filtering or phasing effects. I also use both my Prophets, the 5 and the 8, just because they're the best pad machines out there. They're so rich. I use the [Roland] Juno and the [Korg] MS20s a lot"

I have a little bit of a preference towards the more recent stuff, but seeing as everything's there, I will use it."

Through his love for analogue synthesizers and after seeing various reviews, Tom’s attention soon turned to the Novation Bass Station II. The feature that immediately stuck out for him was the power over USB - “there’s something so great about just having one cable. You can plug in, and it works great as a synth and a controller as well, so it’s a great all-in-one controller mono-synth.”

“Also I thought the filters sound really great. There are some weird, very musical resonances coming out which I haven’t really heard in other filters before. And also the fact that it felt very flexible, in that it can be quite sweet sounding or very aggressive very quickly. That’s something I haven’t really seen in a lot of synths. I can get really nasty and aggressive if I want to, all within the synth, and not having to drive it through other stuff, so that’s pretty cool."

"I use the DSI Prophet 08 live and that definately has its own charms, but the Prophet-5 is pure muscle-huge, huge sound."
