Gear

You will notice that I dont really put my comptuer on the list of gear. Generally I find comptuer and mouse based creation and sequencing to be a stumbling block more then anything else. Not for lack fo trying either, I have demoed the mac-daddy sequencing programs, and I cannot wrestle the kind of life that I want out of them. Respect for those that do.

I do however use my computer to handle sample editing (such as trimming and loop points), and I use two pieces of control software to talk to the A3k: BZone and A3k Remote.

The Gearlist

• Yamaha RM1x - Master Sequencer.
• x0xb0x - Acid. Bassline.
• Yamaha A3000 - Sampler. Primary Synth.
• Mackie CR1604 - 16 Channel Mixer.
• MC-303 - Trash. Redundant Drum Machine.
• Kawai FS690 - More Trash. Midi Keyboard.

DIY

After having built the x0xb0x with my wonderful Wife, I have started to build my own gear. Currently I have 3 simple projects on the go: Mackie 1/4' - XLR cables, MIDI Male to female extension cords, and a pluggable distortion unit.
