sounds! I don't know much about equipment, but I can give it a try from memory: There was a full on 808 there, which as a layman I only recognize from the Rebirth screen layout! Strangely, they didn't seem to be using the 808 much since only about 30% of the show even had beats. There were two rack-mount effects thingys and a small mackie mixer. No keyboards in sight. I asked if they used any computers or sequencers and they said yes they had a sequencer, but it wasn't a PC/mac sequencer - some outboard unit or something. The setup was pretty small, but the sound was LOUD! I'm sorry I can't provide a more accurate review, but again, I'm a layman! -CF
