Per PopMatters: "Much of RY30 Trax (named after Paradinas’ preferred model of Yamaha drum machine used during that time) evokes a moody soundtrack vibe"

Per Sound On Sound, May 2002: "I used to be so quick with Cubase on the Atari, but with Logic it's different. There's no paintbrush, which I used to use a lot. But I'm getting used to it..."

I've got a DX-11 which is an FM synth, which has defined my sound up to now.

I also have a D-50. The combination between those two (DX-11 & D-50) with loads of long reverbs which I overuse (can't help that, sorry) is my sound.
