Not sure if it's been mentioned so forgive me if this has already come up, but I noticed that the user48736353001 account is now following https://soundcloud.com/somadril which has some pretty sick tracks going on. On the fence as to whether it's Aphex at the moment as the style is a bit different... what do you reckon? Possible second account?
Definite some r8 on there. Korg Minipops of course. Looking at the gear list we've also got some modded 606, and probably a couple of lesser known drum machines tucked away in there, but I'm not well versed enough to spot them. I think there's probably a fair few hits he's made himself from various synths (kicks especially) as well as acoustic samples he's recorded. After all, if you had a drum robot in your house, why wouldn't you use it?
Every time I put it on it seems like a completely new album. There's so much to take in on some tracks that I only seem to remember tiny little bits each time. Syro u473t8+e might be the best sounding track I've ever heard.
I feel like he's been incredibly brave using so many raw synth sounds together with so little processing. Most producers would instinctively push things back in the mix with reverb and stuff, but on Syro they're all right at the front jostling for position, and it all works so well!
