Ataxia

Dave Smith Prophet-6 & 12

These two compete for attention. It’s best to not choose sides though, so we just let them talk to each other…

Prophet-12

A beast of a machine. Low-pass filter mania on big synth sweeps is a favourite way of spending time with this one. This one is an integral part of the My Baby sound.

Prophet-6

The Prophet-6 is a dream board. This machine is great for screaming leads and gnarly gritty glitches, bleeps, bloops and noise. The internal sequencer rips it up too, although getting that thing to not start when our main sequencer starts was a pain in the ass.

You can hear this synth on our new Visionquest release, Kodak Moment. All of the synth leads and atmospheres on the title track came from this machine.

Moog Sub Phatty

We copped this piece as a Moogfest artist gift in 2014. It’s got a sinister growl that can go toe to toe with any bass synth. It literally regurgitated the bass line to ‘Afternoon Acid’ one day, and it became our first Play It Say It release.
