Before we even started jamming, I knew I'd need 1) a compact setup 2) with lots of voices 3) that sounded good 4) and included a sequencer 5) and possibly some effects 6) as well as lots of performance control. And after about one second of considering those requirements, I knew the Analog Four MkII would have to be the basis of the setup. The A4MkII is an elegant solution.
I also wanted some sort of lead instrument to "play", as in on the black & white keys. I tried the Matriarch at first, but found it wasn't quite cutting enough for the arrangement. I needed something buzzier, raspier, with an attention-demanding filter and drive... and then it was obvious I needed the Subsequent 37. The SS37 doesn't exactly sound like a classic Moog, and that's why it's such a good fit for this sort of music.
Elektron Analog Four MkII — Four synths (arp, bass, melody 1, melody 2), effects, sequencing
Moog Subsequent 37 + Eventide Space — Lead synth
By-the-hour drums that were the only thing available in the jam space — drums

A huge thank-you to Pandora's box for having mixer/audio-interfaces in their jam spaces, as well as a mic already wired into the kick and other mics for easy setup. Please give them your business:
