My Project Studio
Core Setup The studio core is a simple analog mixer setup with an Lenovo PC for recording songs and samples:
- Yamaha KX-25 2-octave keyboard
- E-mu Systems 4-octave X-board
- Focusrite Trak Master
- Mackie 1202 analog mixer
- Musical Fidelity P170 MOSFET Power Amplifier and B&W 110 speakers
- Alesis Midiverb III
- E-mu Systems Xtreme Lead
- Access Virus B
- M-Audio Delta AP192 Soundcard
- Dual 2.8 GHz Pentium PC with 2 GB RAM
- Steinberg Cubase AI4
- Aturia ARP2600 V2 Software Analog Synthesizer
- Waldorf Wave V.2 Software Wave Synthesizer
Analog Modular Synthesizers My analog synthesizers are all home built and each one is designed to replicate a particular original design. The modules are housed
in MDF cabinets painted blue, with 19" rack systems and remote power supplies. In time the MDF will be replaced with nice teak/ash hand made cabinets.
Whilst the E-mu System replica has custom aluminum panels, lack of funds means that the SCI and some of the FracRac's use painted PCB's as temporary panels. When I am rich
I'll replace them with aluminum panels. A Test Synth is used during the development stage of modules. It contains an E-mu System VCO, ARP 4075 filter,
E-mu Systems LFO and an Oakley Audio Mixer.
Test Gear To support the R&D work I have acquired the following second hand test equipment over the years, it works very well:
- Dual trace 20 MHz Oscilloscope
- Fluke 5.5 digit Digital Multi Meter
- High quality HP Frequency Counter
- Handheld Fluke 4.5 digit multimeter
- PIC development board
