Hello and welcome to this unofficial Kraftwerk hardware and software related blog. The objective of this blog is to shed light on what supposedly have been the synthesizer units used by German band Kraftwerk for the production of their songs, trying to emphasize the differences between some of the patches that may have been implemented during live renditions of their songs, as opposed to the album versions of those same songs.

Only a small number of interviews given by engineers state clearly that a particular unit or VST was responsible for a particular element or sound present in Kraftwerk's catalogue. Bear in mind that Kraftwerk's soundscapes have of course changed in adaptation to the era; for example the 80s have a distinct sound compared to the 90s, and the 90s have a distinct sound compared to the 2000s and so on.
