Don Airey's Gear

Hide incorrect submissions

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."
