Yello's weapons of choice?
Yello's weapons of choice?
Out of curiosity, does anyone know what tools Yello has used most over the years in the recording, arranging, & mixing process? I know they used a Fairlight CMI extensively (or at least they did in the 80s from Stella on), & I believe Boris mentioned in an interview around the time of The Eye's release that he'd begun using the Absynth software synthesizer. Anyone know of any others?

in 2003 Boris used NI Reaktor a lot. Reaktor is not just a softsynth or sampler. Here you can build your own sound devices from the very basic elements (like filters, generators, signal inverters, triggers & switches). Everything is modular & almost on a molecular level. In last versions you can even use your own images to replace the defauls knobs, faders & panels. Draw-It-Yourself!
For sequencing it may be something standard like Cubase or Logic. The mxing is done on a solid Euphonix console. Yello still use Euphonix since 90's & some years ago Dieter Meier bought the whole company.

Fairlight had appeared first on Claro Que Si & only 30-40% of music was automated. Before that Yello used mainly keyboards (ARP Odyssey, RMI, String ensemble), tapes and effects, especially the Electric Mistress flanger pedal. It was used a lot for metallic sounds & noises
Most of 'YGSYTAE' was produced on the Fairlight with syncronized LinnDrum and synthesizers (ARP Odyssey, Roland JX-3P & others)
