I'd have to say I've never heard a 909 on his records though. If you want to make Aphex style drum sounds these days, you do it in a sound editor -- sample someone hitting a cardboard box, lop off the mushy attack, and pitch it up an octave. Then use it in machine gun drum rolls. Oh, and if you like all those goofy sound effects on Come 2 Daddy, get a copy of SoundEdit16 and Soundhack and you're good to go. Also run a hihat sound through a reverb, get rid of everything but the reverb tail, and then amplify it. Be sure to randomly pitch shift your drum hits for good measure. I aim next week to put my money where my mouth is and make the Aphex Twin weirdstep track he never bothered to make. Maybe have my kids sing "I love to poopy in me diapers, mum!" and then loop it.
