At 6:00 in he plays the theme from Pi. Then he plays Autechre's Kalpol Introl. Cool guy indeed.
Sandison: If you let yourself get carried away with technology, then you end up spending all your time reading magazines and talking about high-tech gear but never actually writing any music. We'd much rather use what we've got and push it to do things it was never designed to do.
...
Sandison: ... most of our sound is achieved through a bunch of tricks we've taught ourselves. We've been experimenting for years.

Watching this guy is kind of like seeing a country perform a successful nuclear test.
He's like "I COULD completely take the musical world by storm and blow everyone's mind with some of the most haunting, driving, beautiful sounds ever heard....buuut I'll just stay here making videos with stunning editing and displaying the raw power of man and synth."

I've achieved some very similar detuned synth sounds using this method...

That's a cool idea. I'll have to give that a try.

Boards of Canada's school of sound design is not about making 'lush' J.M. Jarre or Tangerine Dream sounds.

It is interesting to know how they make various cool sounds, but obsessing over exactly which tool is the 'secret weapon' seems kind of pointless.

You can get a lot of different sounds and genres with these beasts.

Yeah yeah yeah, the music is the most important thing! The sound and the feeling of it all and this and that. I get it, I feel it and I know how it makes me feel. Putting on a song and totally being sucked into it like a magnet. It's love, it's hate, it's strange, it's comical and sad... It doesn't matter if you have the latest VA synth or the oldest Analog gear! It's what you put into it emotionally.
But at the end of the day? Personally, as a hobby and for personal pleasure? I love reading about old analog hardware. And that's why I care about what they use. Out of curiosity. I respect their music and the creativity. AND, what they use.
