In an age of digital plugins, Simon Field still reaches for hardware. Here’s how machines like the TR-909, TB-303, and Moog Sub 37 shape his distinctive sound.
1. TR-909: Groove Foundation
From punchy kicks to crispy snares, the 909 gives his drums a thick, classic edge—great for minimal house.
2. TB-303: Bassline Mutation
Simon often distorts and resamples 303 lines, building gritty, rolling bass patterns.
3. Moog Sub 37: Melodic Atmosphere
Used for both leads and evolving pads, this synth adds analog warmth and character.
4. Hands-on Workflow
Simon’s workflow favors tweaking knobs and resampling audio, creating unexpected results that keep his sound unique.
5. From Studio to Stage
You can often hear this gear in his live sets and DJ edits, connecting the studio to the club.
