Got this because I wanted to make a cover of Ultravox’ Mr X, so a violin was needed. Not an easy instrument; I ended up playing the violin parts one to three notes at a time, and then doing some cutting and pasting and creative editing. End result is quite nice though. Did Vienna later […]
This one is easy to waste hours at a time with. A really hands-on synth, and patchpoints always makes things more fun. Plays nicely with the modular. I always thought combined D/R-stages in the envelopes are a bit weird. True for this one as well. On the other hand, that partly contributes to what it sounds […]
Wow. I can’t say Wow enough. The original NM’s younger as well as bigger brother, having everything the original one lacked (MIDI modules, decent keyboard). This simply is an incredible piece of machinery. Functionally it builds on the original, only makes it better. I can’t understand why they abandoned this concept, nothing out there comes […]
A decent steel string electro-acoustic guitar. Just don’t ever ask me what guitar I have, as there’s no way I can remember.
An expander module for the Voyager, making it more modular that without it. I put this up for sale after Judgment Day and ended up selling it. The Voyager was also up for grabs, but nobody bought it. Had I known that, I would have kept this one as well. Oh well…
A machine drum, I guess you could call it. A responsive drum skin, and the plastic body also acts as user interface. The drum brain inside it generates the sounds depending on how you interact with its surface, and it’s actually quite impressive. I thought I would sit in the sofa drumming away and getting […]
Once we had an actual floor upstairs to put things on, the bed could move up there, and the gear could move from the basement to the to-be-studio room, which was partially pulled apart, plus it also served as storage space for uninstalled floorboards and such. So everything was still pretty raw, but somehow it […]
I may have mentioned that I love drum machines. I got this to lay down some serious beats. But I just don’t work that way. This ended up becoming just a sound module, so in the end I sold it as it really didn’t give me anything unique. Solid piece of gear, though.
While in the basement with all my keyboards tucked away too far from the DAW, I needed something to control them with. I was also interested in trying out how a generic MIDI controller would work for me, both for controlling external synths as well as . I mean, it should be handy to have
Time for a new house. Also time to rip it apart and rebuild it pretty much from scratch. So my gear got to spend the first year in the basement, distributed over three rooms and connected with long cables. It was actually quite a good year: I also spent a lot of time in the […]
