From an an old interview. Donβt know the source as I just have this saved as a text document with nothing else:
β What kind of gear were you using when you did your seminal Cybotron track, Clear, at the beginning of the 1980s?
"Well, I wasn't using no software! We were using a Korg SQD1 [Korg's groundbreaking MIDI recorder/sequencer], then I moved on to the Roland MC-500, one of their MicroComposers. That was a really good sequencer.
"Back then I was also using a Sequential Pro-One keyboard, a Roland RS-09 string synth, an ARP Odyssey and an ARP Axxe. And I had a Boss DR-55 and then an 808, obviously, when they first came out."
