Future Sound of London Gear List?

[Quiller]

Maybe this topic has been brought up before, but have FSOL fans put together a gear list of all the instruments they've used over the years?

I know they have mentioned in different interviews and on album notes the gear they've used like the EMS Synthi AKS, Akai S-Series samplers, Roland TB-303, Roland JX-3P, etc.

Also figured out that the keyboard synthesizer pictured in the inner sleeve art of Lifeforms is the Oxford Synthesizer Company OSCar

And the bit of gear at the bottom of the same sleeve art is the Roland Space Echo

I like this thread idea.

I am quite curious as to what equipment they used to do the EP re-imaginings of things like My Kingdom, Yage and Cascade. Also how they transferred the original sounds to presumably more modern equipment, which could just have been done by sampling (I don’t know!!).

The insert for the Tales of Ephidrena CD had a diagram of the equipment they used for it. Probably the same as you mentioned above.

All the sample sets and MIDI sequences are saved on floppy disks, so they're fairly easy to transfer over - wouldn't be surprised if the direct recreations were literally done using the old gear, though, I know Brian has a lot of stuff set up like Earthbeat.

Brian's a bit of a synth collector these days, so there are undoubtedly a lot of synths not mentioned in '90s stuff, but otherwise I reckon a lot of it's mentioned in the Tales booklet and a couple of interviews. I'll try and collate it all together at some point.

That'd be cool Ross. Thanks for above in the meantime!

Was Gaz involved in the re-imagining EPs? Sounds from your comments it was a Brian pursued activity.
