Korg Wavestation EX
Korg M3r
Oberheim Matrix 6r and 1000
Paia Fatman
Moog Etherwave Theremin
Two homemade guitars (one set up for midi)
Fender Strat and Tele
Assorted guitars and amps and effects

Software:
PC Pentium 4

Energy XT
Native Instruments Reaktor, B4, Absynth
Tassman 4
Rhino 2
Cameleon 5000
VSampler

assorted freeware and shareware.

I recently completed enough tunes to produce a cd (just got to get off my butt and do it)

And they still make music in Buffalo? I had to leave cause I thought everyone stopped.

(from W. Seneca myself)

Anyway, great stuff.

Thanks, Buffalo has an active music scene, even have an experimental music club on Chipewa St now. But I am not originally from this area. I grew up outside of Philadelphia in Cherry Hill NJ. Came here for my job at the Albright Knox Art Gallery. Where are you now?
Cool

Thanks mosc, actually collecting guitars for some time now, the synths are all new purchases (except the Fatman) I have been trying to keep the gear lust down Laughing

but it is hard.

Cool

Actually I left to Massachusetts for college, and never returned. In Colorado now, a pretty neat setting of music/art.

Albreit is a great place...Buffalo was once a very wealthy town, and it gathered a bunch of art (& buildings) back then.

I was in Massachusetts (Northampton) for about 8 years before I moved to NY. Loved it there, wish I never left. Great music scene there. Buffalo will do for now.

Hello. That is a fine collection of electronic music gear you have so far. I am curious, is your home-made MIDI guitar set up for the roland midi stuff or for some other gear?

I've got a Les Paul Studio with a GK2A and a GR-33. I also have a custom Nechville MIDI Banjo that I use with the GR-33. I agree with you about the sounds, there are a few that are dynamite but most are so so. Do you use the MIDI out of the GR-33 to trigger other synths. I've found there are lots of extra notes that make the stream difficult to use on other synths. Have you done something with internal settings to improve this?
