Although they do use synths such as their Oberheim Matrix 1000 and Matrix 6, MOM make greater use of samplers such as the Akai S1100. The selection of electronic sound sources at St Martin Tonstudio is relatively modest, and includes an Akai S1000, S1000 keyboard, S1100, Emu E6400 with 1GB hard drive, Emax 2, Sequential Circuits Pro One ("still an important bass sound provider for us") and Prophet 5, Moog Polymoog and Minimoog, Clavia Nord Lead, Roland JD800, and Korg ES1. Toma and St Werner's main sequencer for early recordings was an Atari with Creator software.
