Tony Kaye's Gear
"So much of Big Generator, especially the Hammond sounds and the piano sounds, is all Korg DW8000. Admittedly, I put a few of them together but it really is a great piece of equipment. And the Roland D50 is great - I just traded mine for the rack mounts - new, fresh sounds."

"Once the string sounds started to sound great it all started to fall into place. Until then tuning oscillators was just not my idea of a good night. I preferred jamming on a Hammond organ with a screaming Leslie."

"I've been using Oberheim for donkey's years; but for this tour I wanted to go beyond what I had last time, so I got in touch with them and found they were developing the DPX. That was exactly the way that I was going, except that every time you want to change a sound, you had to put in another disk. In the beginning, I decided to get nine of them and put all the sounds in and allocate every preset to a different sound. About halfway through that process, Oberheim asked me what I wanted and I said, 'make me a hard disk version of the DPX1'. So they said 'OK' and built it. Now I have everything on two hard disk systems. I guess I could have had two Emulators, but having two little units in a rack is much better."
