What kind of synth or hardware does Richard use to play the electronic rhythm part of You Haven't Told Me Anything at the beginning and end of the song when playing live? - MarioRichard uses a Korg Electribe ER-1 during You Haven't Told Me Anything - it continues to play its rhythm during the main body of the song while he's drumming, but he uses the Electribe's built-in effects controls and pads to create the weird sounds during the intro and outro of the song. Note that it's the original Mk. I version, not the Electribe ER-1 Mk. II. |

What type(s) of vocal mics does Tom use, both in the studio and for live shows? - ScottWell, on the live front, Tom has been favouring the wireless Sennheiser SKM 935 series for a number of years now, though I think they also used it wired cousin, the Sennheiser E 935 in the past. Tom has also spoken about how he also likes to use the 935 in the studio, often preferring it to much more expensive mics that are available. Having said that, they have made use of other mics while recording - their web updates during the recording of Perfect Symmetry showed a Neumann U47, for example. But generally, the Sennheiser is the preferred option! |
