Don Airey

"I use a real Hammond A100, customized by John Harburay out of Connecticut. My favorite Hammonds have always been A100s over the years; they seem to have something of a purer tone than a B-3. Live, the Hammond goes into two hot-rodded 122 Leslies and a Hughes and Kettner Puretone 100-watt amp driving a 4 x 12 cabinet. I use two effects on the organ: a Vermona spring reverb and a Moogerfooger ring modulator."

Don Airey, a renowned keyboardist, uses the Roland MC-500 Micro Composer as evidenced by his statement: "Ian kept copies of all the stuff he'd done on an FB01 for the album, although I'm using an MT32 triggered by an MC500." This information is sourced from an article titled "Living in the Past" published in MT February 1988. Airey emphasizes the authenticity of his performances, noting that, "It's not as though the whole show is sequenced - only one number is actually sequenced - and there are two little bits I do on my own and they use a bit of sequencing. There's nothing on tape, no cheating at all, everything's for real. Whatever's on the record I've had to find a way of doing."

Don Airey is confirmed to use the Casio FZ-1 Sampler as part of his live instrument line-up, described in the article "Living in the Past" from Music Technology's February 1988 issue, where the instrument is mentioned among his equipment. Airey characterizes his setup as "something old, something new, something borrowed," and the Casio FZ-1 is noted as a current favorite during a pre-show examination of his keyboard riser.
