Klaus Schulze

Klaus Schulze utilizes the Apple Powerbook G4, featuring 733 MHz and 933 MHz models, as part of his music production setup. This information is detailed on the "Klaus Schulze's Instruments" page on his official website.

Klaus Schulze is listed as using the Atari 1040 ST among his extensive collection of music equipment, as detailed on the "Klaus Schulze's Instruments" page.

The center of the studio is a console with a big 36 channel mixer (Soundcraft), the master keyboard (Quasimidi "Cyber 6"), a computer (Apple Power Mac G4) and additional equipment (see photo). To the left and right of the mixer there are flat screen computer monitors. Below the mixer the master keyboard is placed on a board which is assembled like a drawer so that Klaus can pull it out when he plays music, and push it back when he works mainly with the computer. The computer stands on the floor.

"We just spoke about the issue of certain discontinued plug-ins that I love to have available. They are the reason I stick to my trusty PowerMac computer setup (running a pretty old OS)." A pair of PowerMac G5 towers can be seen in Klaus' studio (ninth photo).

"The desk is a Soundcraft 92-channel, with two power supplies because of its size. I use Arsonic Sigma noise reduction and gain control to avoid digital distortion, very important. EMT reverbs. Effects are varied: Dynacord DRP20, a very cheap but good Boss analogue delay, an Eventide Harmonizer, BGW amplification with RTV correlation and peak limiter. I record on a Tascam DAT at home and in concert. There's no analogue recording. I use an Atari Mega ST4, upgraded to 26MB of RAM, with a 105MB hard disk. I need that for my 60 minute pieces. Now the opera is about 104 minutes, and I need a lot of working capacity because I cannot break off at a point to access the hard disk. Everything has to be immediately accessible."
