Ela’s Go-To Gear

• “I love the sound of this 1985 FM synth. It’s extremely limited, which I like, and• “It’s the only ‘real-size’ synth I own. Even though it has a very recognisable sound it’s very flexible once you get to know it. I essentially live in a cloud with an arp from the Juno.” • “The Moog Minitaur has been my bass synth for years but I always dreamed of having the same synth available in higher octaves so I could use it for melodies too. The Sirin is literally a dream come true.” • “This is such an interesting machine because it adds so much depth to everything. I love detuning synths, bit-crushing drum machines and using the filter for… everything!” • “I love this drum machine. The combination of analogue synthesis, a sampler and a sequencer that is so musical is great.”
