Seen during the Project Neuland rehersals.

"My setup is centered around a Cubase10/Win10 system. This is the hub that everything else is connected to. For audio AD/DA is am using BURL converters.

On the software side, using a lot of UAD, FabFilter, PSP and Soundtoys plugs. With libraries, sticking to Heavyocity (of course;) VSL, Orchestral Tools, 8dio, Spitfire, Arturia, NI, U-He, Omnisphere.

Hardware: Arturia controllers and MatrixBrute, NonlinearLabs C15 and an arsenal of vintage boxes I keep around for good company (ARP, Oberheim, Moog)"

"I have to single out Stylus RMX; it is the most powerful and most versatile instrument I have in my arsenal. It offers and unprecedented amount of control and creative options for rhythm arrangements, and it allows import of REX files, which means it can be customized to even play tonal loops with all the sound control of its main engine" (Page 62).

Paul Haslinger is shown with a Moog Memorymoog in a photo from his Facebook profile, indicating his use of the synthesizer.

What are your favourite keyboards?

"The Roland A50 and A80. And I've started to like the Korg T1. They are all as good or as bad as you want to make them. One of the main problems I have is with the concept of pianists trying to play master keyboards which simulate a wooden piano. Keyboards have nothing to do with pianos! What's interesting now is how the body design of keyboards is changing. The contours of the [human] body will be better catered for and studies in posture relating to typewriting will be applied. All of this will affect the whole music industry. You will see unusual controllers, not just flat or two dimensional things, coming on to the market."

"Haslinger's studio contains nine networked computers. of those, seven are PCs, the flagship of which is an AMD Dual Opteron 2.0 GHz. He also has a Mac G4 and a Mac G5. The various audio interfaces for all his computers are patched through his Yamaha DM2000 digital mixer and centrally clocked with an Apogee Big Ben master clock" (Page 60).

"Steinberg Nuendo 3 with HALion 2 is my main writing and production environment" (page 62).

"My current new favorites: Stylus RMX, Nuendo 3, Equim, Wavelab 5, Absynth 3, Tassman 4" (page 62).

Paul Haslinger mentioned using the Arturia FX Collection in an article on the Arturia website, as evidenced by a user-uploaded photo.

"The time depicted, the early 80s, was pretty much the time I started making and programming music. My first Atari, running Steinberg Pro-24. So in many ways, this did feel like coming full circle. That being said, the 80s aspect was an important part, but not the only aspect that went into writing this music."

Paul Haslinger lists his favorite studio gear as "Hardware: Roland A-50 MKB, Hornberg Research hb1 (breath controller), Novation LaunchCtrl, Faderfox UC-3, Win7 PCs for Cubase and VE-Pro, UAD. Software: Steinberg, U-He, NI, CamelAudio (RIP), FabFilter, SoundToys, UAD, PSP, AAS."

"Well I do a lot of sampling but because we've divulged a lot of our technical procedures in the past and had them copied, we've decided not to talk about our sampling tricks. I can talk about my preferences though. I have a good relationship with the Korg Wavestation which was developed by Dave Smith of Sequential Circuits. As a tone generator it's a very good concept which makes it possible to create sound as a part of the composition. It uses wave sequencing where the rhythm is controlled by a MIDI click tempo. I also like the Akai S1000 series — extensive, complex and reliable electronic devices which are very important at this stage for us. In fact all my experiences with Akai equipment have been good."

"I must say it's not completely possible to construct a good feel with a computer. There has to be some musical event taking place that you are not in total control of. With computers it is always the software that counts. We use three basic computers — the Macintosh, the Atari and the IBM. The software I use is the following — Steinberg Cubase for the Mac and Atari, Performer also for the Mac, and Sequencer Plus for the IBM. These are the main packages."
