Cid Rim's Gear
In this article (https://www.self-titledmag.com/cid-rim-feature-songs-of-vienna-album/), CID RIM mentions using the SH-101 on his "Songs of Vienna" album "This is the first track for a reason; I think it’s one of the album’s defining moments. It started in my mate Paul’s studio (hence the name) with a borrowed SH-101 from the room next door. I made a little beat — half recorded, half programmed material — and then with my left hand on the filter of the SH-101 and the right hand on its keys I just started playing these melodies."
In this article (https://www.self-titledmag.com/cid-rim-feature-songs-of-vienna-album/) CID RIM says "I made the sound almost entirely with this really bad early 2000s Neptunes aera Roland synth JD-Xi."
In this article on the making of his album "Songs of Vienna", CID RIM says "Listening to it now, I think I hear the Arturia Microbrute synth"
In this Youtube video at 10:35 he mentions that he has a Wurlitzer in his studio in Vienna.
In this article (https://www.self-titledmag.com/cid-rim-feature-songs-of-vienna-album/), CID RIM says "Wow, I barely remember how that one came together. Very fluidly and quickly, I guess. Listening to it now, I think I hear the Arturia Microbrute synth and I definitely hear the Moog Grandmother."
In talking of his track "Last Snow" on the Self-titled mag article he said "So not only the tone of harmonies were important but I think more so the surfaces, getting the balance right between fancy soft synths — I think it was a ton of “Massive X” layers mainly — and running them through old analogue equipment like the Roland Space Echo or tape emulations."
In talking about his song "Too Long" (in this article: https://www.self-titledmag.com/cid-rim-feature-songs-of-vienna-album/) he says "At the end of the mixing session for Denai, the studio manager came in with this massive monster of a new Roland synth called JD-XA. Just knobs and blinking stuff everywhere, and it took me a while to just strip everything back to one good square wave and a filter. Then I recorded this bass pattern that’s always the same note in different octaves and layered it with a couple of bass sounds and synth lines in the upper registers."
In this Self-titled mag article, CID RIM mentions "That day I worked from Dorian Concept’s studio in Vienna, he had this gorgeous old Jupiter with a lot of character. I came up with the main big part of the track there and recorded loads of different octaves and takes of similar sounds and lines. I spread it all out in the stereo image and layerd it again and again untill it sounded almost too big, annoyingly screamy. Then I distorted every track."
The exact version fo Roland Space Echo is not known but CID RIM says in the Self-titled mag interview "I think it was a ton of “Massive X” layers mainly — and running them through old analogue equipment like the Roland Space Echo or tape emulations"
In this article, CID RIM says "I still mainly use Reason."
In this Music Radar interview, CID says that the latest gear "the latest studio gear I’ve bought is the Roland Jupiter Xm."
In this Music Radar interview, CID RIM says “By now you’re probably gonna think: Finally, an actual tip I can use! I love that Fab Filter Pro-Q-3 option, where you send another track into the EQ and that track triggers your dynamic EQ curve.
"It’ll even show you where the two tracks are clashing on the frequency spectrum in red, so just get rid of the frequencies where you see a lot of red. Super simple. It’s a very handy tool to get something up in the mix without touching the volume fader.”
