I think you cannot find a wider range of instruments than in idm
cause, as i said anything goes. From early Ondes Marteneau thingy
to digital stuff (mixers, samplers etc...). Each instrument does
have a certain feel, and some are more popular than others, but i
dont think idm is really a popularity thing... not much TB-303 in
idm for example. A lot of very flexible stuff however, like Serge
modulars (Orbital i think), to K2000 (Speedy J, Laurent Garnier,
Kenny Larkin) etc...
Also, a lot of people use computers to generate sounds, sequence
their music, manipulate etc...
For example, i use my computer to sample, to generate new sounds,
sequence my music, record to hard disk, transfer digitally to/from
dat, cds etc... remove noise, interface to my power glove etc...
I also use several external synths and even a drum machine and
a few fx units and pedals. Then you have the occasional weird
things like an edison wax cylinder player, tube equaliser,
speak n spell, mattel keyboard.
