What are your favourite keyboards?

"The Roland A50 and A80. And I've started to like the Korg T1. They are all as good or as bad as you want to make them. One of the main problems I have is with the concept of pianists trying to play master keyboards which simulate a wooden piano. Keyboards have nothing to do with pianos! What's interesting now is how the body design of keyboards is changing. The contours of the [human] body will be better catered for and studies in posture relating to typewriting will be applied. All of this will affect the whole music industry. You will see unusual controllers, not just flat or two dimensional things, coming on to the market."

"My setup is centered around a Cubase10/Win10 system. This is the hub that everything else is connected to. For audio AD/DA is am using BURL converters.

On the software side, using a lot of UAD, FabFilter, PSP and Soundtoys plugs. With libraries, sticking to Heavyocity (of course;) VSL, Orchestral Tools, 8dio, Spitfire, Arturia, NI, U-He, Omnisphere.

Hardware: Arturia controllers and MatrixBrute, NonlinearLabs C15 and an arsenal of vintage boxes I keep around for good company (ARP, Oberheim, Moog)"

"Well I do a lot of sampling but because we've divulged a lot of our technical procedures in the past and had them copied, we've decided not to talk about our sampling tricks. I can talk about my preferences though. I have a good relationship with the Korg Wavestation which was developed by Dave Smith of Sequential Circuits. As a tone generator it's a very good concept which makes it possible to create sound as a part of the composition. It uses wave sequencing where the rhythm is controlled by a MIDI click tempo. I also like the Akai S1000 series — extensive, complex and reliable electronic devices which are very important at this stage for us. In fact all my experiences with Akai equipment have been good."
