What effects does Sascha Ring use?
He named two T-Rex Replicator Modules and an Elektron Analog Heat for grit, a Cwejman MMF-6 filter he can't live without, and plugins including Output's Portal and Thermal and oeksound's soothe2 (MusicRadar, 2022).

On a 2013 MusicRadar studio tour, Bronsert and Szary showed a Roland Juno-106 (Szary's first serious keyboard), a Juno-60, a Moog Minimoog Voyager Rackmount for bass and a Korg MS-50, plus a modded Alesis HR-16.
