Edit that preset! A blogg about synth, e-mu sampler, music and pillows

Music gear

well.. i have a page called Music gear.  I just wanted to leverage a bit on what gear i am using, and how... why??  because i don't have anything else to write about .

As you can see here on the photo. i am having an emu e6400 ultra, Korg M1r, Novation Nova, korg AM8000R and Line6 FilterPro. 

 I am also having a creamware card which i am using to pull some synths from (mostly Vectron, Modular III and U Know 007).  I am also having a PreSonus TubePRE as a mic preamp. 

 Basses and stuff: i mostly uses my Nova.. which i sample down to the emu. 

Drums: I have lots of singleshot drum samples on my computer which i record onto the sampler one by one (i dont have any interface for transfare samplesto the emu atm.).     Then i might make a drum arrangement which i sample down to the emu and uses as a drum loop.. depends on what i am after .

Pads:  I use what suits me on pads.. but after i got the Emu i have started to create base sounds on synths.. (creamware, nova, etc), then sample it down, and layer it on the emu.  That works very well for me.. since the emu produces very much the sound i like.  and the filters opens for much creativity.

 Leads:  again.. i use what works.. lately i have used much of the creamware U Know 007.. directly.. and the Modular III.

I dont use the Korg too much.. but i am seeing some possibility to sample it down to the emu now.  The Korg AM8000R is used as a send FX directly in sonar.. which gives me the possibility to add sweet ambient reverb on any tracks/softsynth.

 The Line6 FilterPro has been sick for a good amount of time.. until i opened it up to find out that a internal cable had just slipped out of its plug.. so after replugging.. it worked like a charm..  i am still trying to figure out how to include it in a good setup..   it can warp out some intressting sounds..

 I have ditched my mixer, and are using an ADAT 8x8 interface which are right now connected to my creamware.. i have the RME card which can handle it.. and i am considering using it as a master mixer.. but i realy realy need another adat interface.. 8x8 is not enough .
