Larry Heard's Gear

Hide incorrect submissions

As seen in the upper left of this photo (digitally dated Nov. 11, 1992), next to the computer screen. I know things are fuzzy in the photo, but I compared this little image to every other drum machine available before 1993, and the layout matches the 660, and no others I can find. I have a 660 in front of me too... I angled it like it is in the photo... we have a match.

"I have a really good Rhodes-like sound that I've done in the M3R, and I'll layer it with the DX7 to make one sound. They just have two different characteristics that give the impression of one keyboard playing."

"My favourite? Hmm... It's between the two Oberheims, the Matrix 1000 and the 6R. I have editors for both of them, and I do a lot of tweaking and coming up with weird things."

"I end up using my D110 a lot, and my two Oberheims. I'm always saying that I want to get back into my Pro One, so I'm gonna eventually get that together, and maybe create sounds on it and sample them into one of the samplers, use it that way.
