Vince Clarke

At 2:52, Arturia Minimoog can be seen on Vince's computer screen.

How did you come across Native Instruments?

"That was by recommendation from Martin Ware of Heaven 17. We worked together and he recommended Absynth and FM7 to me. I loved Absynth right away because it was so different from anything else. Then I got into Reaktor through Gareth Jones, who was another producer I worked with. He explained to me how it worked. At first I was a bit put off by the idea of creating your own synthesizers. Initially, I couldn't be bothered to do that because it sounded like a lot of hard work. But I soon found out that it was also a lot of fun!"

Vince says in this interview that he uses Alchemy soft synth.
