Boards of Canada - roygbiv - DAWless hardware only cover/recreation

As requested, I think?

roygbiv by Scotland's finest duo since The Krankies, Boards of Canada - taken from their 1998 masterpiece 'Music Has The Right To Children'

BoC seem to be pretty secretive about all of their gear... I always think of them as the Wes Anderson of IDM - you can spot a WA film just from the look and feel, rather than knowing what camera, lens or film-stock it was shot on, and for me BoC is similarly about evoking a mood and feel rather than what gear was used... however if you're watching this you're probably a synth nerd, so speculate away!!

Huge, huge props to ‪@Psilocy-ben‬ for spotting the trill from the same 'lake' scene 👍👍

I find it unlikely they'd be using something as digital as a Nord or the R8, however a sampler is pretty much essential along with a copy of Sesame Street... I also don't have an SH-101 (or Behringer version) but have owned the Moog for years so it's doing the analogue monosynth duties. All sequenced either on the R8 or the MC50. One reason for doing it that way is the R8 has swing/shuffle, whereas the MC50 does not 🤓
