Well, I'll be darned, there it is, right at the bottom of that article: SQUAREPUSHER GEAR Akai S6000 sampler DBX 1066 compressor (2) Eventide Orville Harmonizer (2) Rackmount PC with various virtual-synthesis software programs Thanks for the tipoff, Doug. S6000s seem to be going relatively cheap on Ebay. All the top level folks are upgrading to the Z4 and Z8. Last I heard, Amon Tobin was using the S6000, too. -J P.S. That knobby box below the patch bay in the picture I linked to in my previous mail is one of the DBX 1066s. ----- Original Message ----- From: "doug @ jump/cut" <looper@jumpcut.net> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Sunday, March 09, 2003 10:35 PM Subject: Re: Squarepushers breakbeat rig > >From an article in ReMix (January 2002): > Squarepusher's composing methods are just as rugged.
