My Equipment!

A little Description of my gear and studio.

My main synthesizer and workstation for playing parts on is the Korg Triton Pro X, it features 88 weighted key's for all my pianist needs. It has great full organic sounds for making all kinds of stuff but especially the big orchestra's and choirs.

My General Music WX2 Plus, its an golden oldie but it still wields big basses and has great options for accompanying my solo's and getting those big loops there...a great dubbing machine.

My Yamaha AN1x, it's on of the best synthesizers for leads and arpeggiators, its has been my main midi synthesizer for entering my loops and arpeggio's. It is the one synth that has never ever failed me and it still keeps amazing me whilst making music and new sounds

The Korg Electribe M, it is the hub for all the bits and beats for my music, it is easy to use and truly features some stumping basses. I also use it for making arpeggio's which is down right easy on this instrument. I have used some of the presets because they are just great... but most I completely metamorphosed into something quite new. So much power in such a small machine perhaps one of my best buys yet.

Another piece of equipment that I have recently added to my collection is the wonderful and famous Access Virus TI keyboard. This machine has had me awestruck, the stuff you can do with it is amazing, and it is all so easy and intuitive. Just the way an instrument should be.

Once again a GEM (general music) instrument is the S3turbo, I've originally bought it for the symphonic metal band Montany in which I played, but because of this band stopping I've since then used it mainly as a midi keyboard, to be honest that is a bit degrading for the instrument because it can do so much more, but I just don't have the time to use it at all, so buyers beware, if you wan't to buy this instrument, you can... fair bids are accepted as long as you think of the transportation etc. ;-)

My current mixer is the Behringer EuroRack 3242, it has enough channels for me to do what I want to :), but eventually this will have to be replaced with something of an even better quality.

This is my grand piano, the Irmler P160, it is a great piano for all the classical pieces I play, nothing beats a grand :-).

This actually is my very first keyboard, or at least, the very first one I have ever bought myself, it is the Yamaha PSR-210, at that time quite the instrument, but at this point in time it is only something I keep for the memories I have with it.

For those of you who know their vintage synths, this is the Arp Omni mk2, It is still up for repairs, I got it from one of my close friends. I hope to get this working soon because it is a hot one.

I've also got a old Korg Poly 800, it is also not working. I got it from another friend of mine who didn't know what to do with it, so I'm hoping to get it repaired some time soon also.

This is the Yamaha DSR-2000, it is a semi synthesizer, it has the basic ADSR stuff going. I got this keyboard from a friend also... it is nice to have those friends :P

My Nord Micro Modular, I use it mainly to create vocoders and synth arpeggio's, I like this machine, if you know how to use it you can make almost anything with it.

This nice synth is the Korg PE-1000, it is not actually mine but I can burrow it for as long as I wish. It is a really old analog machine and very rare. It has a quite unique sound, very warm... My first true edition of Vintage Machinery. Ok the AN1x is already a classic and vintage synth, but for my feeling it has to wait a few years before it is one.

My Tascam USB-428, The heart of my recording needs, with this machine I can record anything in 32 bits quality (that is 2 times as much as a normal cd quality) and as such i record everything worth while recording.

Box of cables, this picture is just a bit funny.

A picture of the old studio situation.

My computer is just what a computer should be like. To many mp3's to count, almost all thinkable programs on it... and off course never using one of them... I like to play things real time so I kind of use the computer solely as a recording device. (so really not worthy of a photo in here)

Gear that I have sold over time

This is the AN200 Desktop Synthesizer, in its heart it holds the AN1x times 2 and a lot more (drums etc.) very nice piece of machinery, I do not yet make music with it but when my first album is finished I will be recording new stuff with this nice piece of equipment.

This is the AN200 Desktop Synthesizer, in its heart it holds the DX7 times 2 and a lot more just like the AN200 and also with this I do not yet make music but when my first album is finished I will be recording new stuff with this nice piece of equipment.

My SamSom PL2404 Stereo Mixer... I use every channel in order to maintain my sound as it should be... got to love all those knobs as well.

My Upright Piano, this is where I compose certain things but most of all where I practise all the classical piano works.
