Equipment

Selected kit list.......

• AppleMac PowerBook 150 running Steinberg Cubase Score sequencer
• Steinberg Mac Midi Interface
• E-mu EIII sampler M: "It was a revelation to us three years ago when we found what it could do. It`s got no graphical editing but I was used to working with numbers anyway and the filters are so strong on it. There`s something a little better about the Emulators."
• Novation BassStation
• Korg Prophecy D: "I like it. There`s some really nice sounds in it and you start getting into it and it leaps up. It`s reliable and live it`s really good."
• Roland TB-303, TR-808, TR-909 M: "I still don`t believe there`s any substitute for them. We`re fortunate that we got the classics before things went bannans. My 303 was £100! Acid House was waning and the thinking at the time was 303 had had its day."
• Roland JD-800 A: "Old, but it really is a must." M: "I still think it`s a beautiful thing. I think they are going to get some kind of classic status, beacuase they`re brilliant sound shapers with all those controllers on the front."
• Roland U-20
• Roland Super JD-990 D: "A lot of the sounds were created on the JD-800 and played back on the 990 which is a phenomenal piece of kit." M: "It got a bit missed really. It`s got performance patching so you have can dump your JD-800 patches or whatever into the 990 and build up a set with it."
• Roland R-8
• Roland drum pads M: "They`re excellent if you stick them into the sampler on unusual sounds. You get some really peculiar percussive sounds so we want to open that up again."
• Mackie CR-1604 Mixing Desk
• Oberheim Xpander
• Fender Squire Stratocaster
• Roland Guitar GRI Synthesir
• Ibanez Guitar PT5
• Akai S3000 Sampler
• Emulator E3HP Sampler
