The Emotron (b. Jason Kyle Knight) is a one-man musical group influenced by Atom and his Package and GG Allin. He performs original material in a karaoke-esque style, using a Yamaha QY700 sequencer among other instruments.

"From the second I heard Atom and His Package in 1998, I knew that I wanted a QY700 Sequencer. In Sept of 03 I had just Quit the band Treephort I was in and I wanted to start a One Member Synth/Robot influenced band. So I emailed Atom about his Yamaha sequencer, to my surprise I got an email back and soon ordered my Yamaha QY700 and in Jan 2004 The Emotron was born. I started trying to figure the sequencer out and trying to write music for the first time ever in my life and scheduled a few house shows in smaller towns around McDonough, Georgia. I played really early versions of 1989, Jellyfish, Swim in the Dark With Sharks, and As your Teenage Vagina Bleeds. The Emotron character, show, and music has come along since day one. I believe that The Emotron is pretty close to being a household name."
