Yeah, what I've been using for my Autechre-ish style tracks is Koan
Pro hooked up to my JV-1080 and Prophecy. I set up loads of mad LFOs
on the prophecy and twiddle them in real time as various chaotic riffs
are pumped out of Koan. It's not really a case of what you use to
create your sounds, but what you do to manipulate them.
