Jim Guthrie's Gear
At 1:19 in the video you see a brief closeup of Jim's Volca Sample
In this interview with Native Instruments, Jim says "I guess a must-have for somebody like me is the OP1, a fantastic piece of gear. That one I love because I don’t know what the hell is going on half the time (laughs). They don’t label everything, you don’t know what variable you’re changing. Like there’s a squiggly line, and you turn a dial and the squiggly line turns into a straight line. If you use your ears though you can figure out which aspect of the sound you’re changing, and I like that because it’s abstract and it sort of forces you listen more."
Jim talks about his Akai AX60 in the interview with Native Instruments: "I got a lot of hardware, like this old Akai 612 sampler which I love. It’s one of the first rack samplers ever made I think. And I have the keyboard that goes with it, which is the Akai AX60, so you could blend samples with the synth sounds and use the envelopes, filters and stuff from the keyboard to get some new sounds."
In this interview with Native Instruments, Jim says: "I also have a bunch of pedals, like the Strymon BigSky and the TimeLine. Those are great, I love to put my synths through those before I go into my DAW."
In this interview with Native Instruments, Jim says "I’ve been using the Fostex X-18 four track forever. I’m still using it today, I’ll record drones on separate tracks and then I’ll play the faders and put it through pedals. There’s just a smoothness, a beautiful thickness, that’s hard to get otherwise."
At 0:41 into the video, there is an overhead shot where you can see Jim using the Casio SK-1.
At 0:31 you see a shot of Jim's desk and the boutique JX-03 is visible.
In this interview with Native Instruments, Jim says "I also have a bunch of pedals, like the Strymon BigSky and the TimeLine. Those are great, I love to put my synths through those before I go into my DAW."
In this interview with Native Instruments, Jim says "A lot of times I create drones using the Electro Harmonix SuperEgo. You run a signal through it and hit the pedal, and it will grab a grain and stretch it out. So you put one note in, grab it, drone it, and then you can layer it with different sounds and build a chord."
