BT's Studio Equipment

BT still adores his heavily modified Roland TR-707, the Roland TR-505, the Roland 505 and the Boss DR-550 MkII. "Anything with that many switches has to sound good," he says with a laugh.

In this Instagram photo, BT talks about taking home a Lexicon Model 200 Digital Reverberator unit. He talks about having used the reverb unit quite a bit on his project All Hail the Silence. He says, "2 things I've wanted my whole life. The reverb from Blade Runner (used a to on The Silence) and a System-100m. Vintage condition, coming home with me. #soexciteditscrazy" (posted May 2014)

"I'm bewildered it's taken manufactures so long to catch on to the control voltage craze. Now that we have there are a proliferation of exciting new instruments and synths, for bang for buck you can get a Beatstep Pro and stop looking. This is the most feature rich, high end step and gate sequencer in a small format, affordable (and substantial) package I've ever seen. I want about 20 of these!" – BT via Arturia

As the center of his studio, BT uses M-Audio's Radium61 61-Key USB MIDI Controller to drive his system, complemented by an array of Pioneer Pro DJ gear. He has both a Macintosh G5, running Logic Pro with Digidesign's Pro Tools HD hardware systems, and a G4, allowing him to run older software and hardware interfaces. Additionally, there are multiple AMD Dual-core Opteron computers running Native Instruments' Kontakt 2 with EastWest/Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra and Symphonic Choir libraries as well as Quantum Leap Colossus and Stormdrum and Native Instruments' Kompakt. The space is nothing if not versatile. For his score for 2004's "Monster," BT wanted a more organic sound, so vocals, guitars and percussion overdubs were done in various room at his home. For this, he used a variety of mics, some of the many guitars hanging on his wall and Neve microphone preamps.
