Everything in its right place midi2/9/2023 ![]() ![]() Nigel bought a new Prophet 5, which Thom used to play the bass on All I Need as well as on A Moon Shaped Pool, but Thom didn’t bring an analogue poly-synth on tour until 2012, when he brought along a Dave Smith Instruments Prophet 08. Thom with his Alesis Q25 during the May 20th Amsterdam performance of Ful Stop ( noise_jam).Īfter his Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 broke in 2001, Thom shied away from bringing polyphonic analogue synthesizers on tour. When he needs to play a complex part, he stands at his Prophet 08 as on the last tour (or even sits at it, as I’ll discuss next), but when the part is only single notes – as on Ful Stop – Thom can dance around the stage with total freedom. It’s pretty nondescript as MIDI keyboards go, but it’s light and Thom had his fitted with a wireless transmitter battery pack. That didn’t last very long, but Thom has a new small MIDI keyboard - the Alesis Q25. He also used the Novation for the early 2002 performances of Myxomatosis, attaching a strap to the keyboard and dancing around the stage as he played. For example, back in the early 2000′s he used Colin’s Novation Bass Station as a MIDI controller on tracks like Kid A and Backdrifts. Thom has generally used whatever MIDI keyboard his bandmates bring along to play any sampled parts necessary. ![]()
