Colin Benders has said his main instrument is a Eurorack modular built around Macbeth modules, an Orthogonal Devices ER-101 sequencer, a Tiptop Circadian Rhythms and 4ms VCA Matrix sends. He records one-take jams into Pro Tools through a Burl B80 Mothership and an SSL XL-Desk, with PMC MB2S-XBD monitors.
“These top two modules in this image are probably the best sounding modules I have ever heard.”
“I have used these on just about everything I have ever done with my modular works”
“For me I probably wouldn't be able to do any of what I do without this module.”
“All my drum sounds are triggered and sequenced from this panel.”
“These modules are the 4ms VCA Matrix, with 4 inputs on the left side and 4 outputs on the top.”

“For that I work with protools and I try to get it done with a minimum number of edits if I can get away with it.”
“I love the Burl sound, every input has a transformer on it which clips very nicely when driven a bit.”
“The Vacuvox U23 is probably the best sounding compressor I have ever heard.”
“The SSL XL desk which I have now gives me everything I need”
“It's a very fast and versatile compressor that doesn't choke up easily.”
“I mainly use it for all my drum processing where it does a great job keeping everything in check.”
“I almost cried the first time I switched them on.”
“I usually fly on my own, with the modular setup packed up in 3 big pelicases.”
