Re: Artists' "Signature" Synth Sounds

I' think Andrew Farriss's setup at the time of Kick was a Roland Juno 60, Prophet T8, and DX7.

Re: Here We Discuss Brian Eno's Use of Vintage Synths

I don't know if I'd take any stories about Eno's technical compitence or lack thereof at face value. Given some of his other working methods I wouldn't put it past him to behave in whatever way he suspects will get the best results from whoever he's working with. Although he's often refered to himse...

Re: EII and Fairlight libraries in Wav?

It;s a lot easier and safer to load sample libraries into somethng more modern if you want to use those sounds live. instead of risking your EII or Fairlight bouncing around in the back of a truck.

Re: Here We Discuss Brian Eno's Use of Vintage Synths

Eno used a Sequential Circuits Pro 1 in the early '80s, which he liked for its arpeggiator. He told interviewer Chris Everard in 1984 he didn't like the Prophet 5. At the time he also had a Casio 202 and a Farfisa organ that supposedly formerly belonged to Pink Floyd. http://music.hyperreal.org/arti...

Re: soviet synth output

Those are old style European DIN audio jacks. You'll need to find cables with a DIN plug on one end and a standard one quarter or one eighth inch connector on the other end, or make those cables yourself.

Re: Synth Arrangements?

I seem to remember there were some Japanese magazines that published pop music arrangements based on the actual tracks. Good luck finding them if they do exist.

Re: Most compact and versatile live-setup?

Obviously it's going to depend on what you're playing. A techno guy likely isn't going to find much use for an Electro, and a rock band keyboardist likely doesn't want an Electribe.

Supposedly this one was owned by Keith Emerson. I'm a touch skeptical.
