This article is the longest piece I’ve published on Bjango’s site, and it took a couple of years of research. I purchased around 25 pieces of music gear. I emailed Imogen Heap, and to my surprise, someone from her team got back to me and confirmed the exact harmonizer used on Hide and Seek.

It’s been a huge effort, and I’m confident it contains a lot of information that is not widely known. For those of you who are into Daft Punk, I hope it’s interesting.

The Daft Punk research continues! Luke from The Daft Punk Historian sent me a video from the Random Access Memories sessions, asking if I could identify the gear in it. And… I could! I think this is the only video showing Daft Punk using a DigiTech Talker. A talk box can also be seen.

Whoa. That doesn’t sound like fun at all. My only talk box stage story is that we played a festival and were given no sound check. Somehow the talk box pedal got switched off, so it didn’t work when it needed to, and I had no idea why until it was too late.
