Some of Orbitals equipment (not that it would nessessarily be the best to start with, and some of it is expensive hard to find gear):

Emu samplers
OSC Oscar
Oberheim Xpander
old Alesis hardware sequencers (live)
Roland TR-808 (Listen to Dwr Budr on Insides)
Roland TB-303 Bassline (on Lush3 for example)
Emagic Logic for recording

This info is a few years old too.
