Audio Samplers

Akai S1000

Avg price: $4,123.42

What kind of gear did you use at the time?

R: “Caustic” was a pretty minimal set up. All we used was the Atari, an Akai S1000 and S950, a Minimoog, Micromoog, Pro One and a Kawai K4 for strings… Less is more I’m starting to think! We did have a couple disks of Adrian Sherwood drums and Yello bass sounds for the Akai that were used a lot.

Software Plugins and VSTs used by Rhys Fulber on Caustic Grip

DAW Software

C-Lab Creator

Rhys, this was your first album as a full member of FLA, and you were very young. What was it like stepping into an existing band?

R: Yes I was 19 years old, but because I had already known Bill for a few years and just did the “Gashed Senses” tour it seemed totally natural. I actually hadn’t used the C-Lab Creator program (Atari computer music sequencer software) before and learned as I went.
