Forgoing both a drummer and a bass guitarist the band utilizes computer-based drum machines such as FL Studio and Ableton Live as well as multiple synthesizers (Moog, Alesis and Novation) to produce its distinct sound. Genghis Tron has toured with such bands as Behold... The Arctopus Converge, Kylesa, Gaza, The Dillinger Escape Plan and The Faint.
