STUDIO



The B.C. studio currently consists of the following equipment:

* Atari 1040ST fm Computer with Stienberg-12 sequencer
* Acer Extensa 367T Laptop with Windows 98
* Kawai K1-II Digital synthesizer
* Korg Poly-800 II Analog synthesizer
* Yamaha DX-100 FM Synthesizer
* Yamaha PSS-470 Keyboard
* Alesis HR-16 Drum Machine
* Alesis MMT-8 Sequencer
* Philips CD Recorder


Perhaps the most unique concept behind the Synthetik FM sound is that it is achieved without the use of samples and drum machine sounds. The Alesis Drum machine is often used to either lay down a temporary track, or perhaps as an engine to trigger other sounds ... but every single sound in the Synthetik FM arsenal is generated by a synthesizer (analog or digital). Why this approach? It's an attempt on my part to return closer to the roots of electronic music, where everything is created from scratch. This approach yields (I hope) a more pure and unique form of electronic music.
