Oberheim DS-2
Projekt Elektronik stuff (Voltage Store Unit/Timecontroller/etc)
_possibly_ PPG 100-series and 300-series sequencers
Helmut Groethe sequencers mated to dual PPG 340 Wavecomputers (Logos)
random EEH-built stuff (Le Parc)
i'm sure there was other stuff too. i'll bet the internal sequencers in the Wave keyboards were used as well as the WaveTerm if that had a sequencer as well. |
Each member of Tangerine Dream had an Atari ST on stage during the Optical Race tour. |

| I know Animal Collective use a lot of Elektron gear, especially the Octatrack, and I've seen Geologist using Rene/Pressure Points more recently. Avey Tare also made his solo album Down There almost entirely on a Monomachine. |

Pretty sure that some of these acts like Kraftwerk, Vince Clarke have pretty much used all of the above.
OTOH there are acts like Devo and a few British 80's synthpop acts that have claimed at various times that NONE of their sequency sounding stuff was sequenced. That is just them playing like robots. |

If I remember rightly in that Synth Britannia documentary Andy McCluskey from OMD said he played all of those early "sequenced" parts by hand. |

| Yeah didn't OMD have some kind of disclaimer on their album 'no sequencers were used'. |

Human League had a statement like that in at least one of their albums. |

If memory serves, OMD sounds kinda loose and hand-played, but Human League seems tight like it would have been sequenced. We're they lying? |

It may have been a different band (Yello?), but I vaguely remember it was an early Human League album. Also, I was young enough that "we don't use sequencers" vs the "oh, ok... then they are legit" frame of mind seemed a little odd. Later recordings tightened up a little bit.  |

DJ SHADOW - obviously went from 4-track pause-button tapes to an MPC60 but these days seems very much into Ableton
DJ NU-MARK - originally an MPC2000, since then I know he's used 1000s and 500s but for a while he was eulogising about NI Maschine and whilst I'm not aware of him having changed his setup, he is listed on Akai's website as an Akai artist...
CUT CHEMIST - MPC2000 (could be an XL) and Pro Tools
ODD NOSDAM - orginally SP-202 Dr. Sample and a Roland VS-880. Then a PC running Digital Performer, followed by Pro-Tools
JEL - SP-303, SP1200, MPC2000XL, Roland VS-880, Pro-Tools. |

'Dare' was sequenced with the Roland MC-8, but the majority of the polyphonic parts were played live. Drums were from the Linn LM-1 and Roland system 700. |

Alan Meyers was a human metronome. He was a truly amazing drummer. |
