guitars and little noisy toys before then
not much recording
have a few bits of the very early ps stuff still about too

to be honest i havent changed,just better equipment and more flexibility has made my sound evolve i think
still lots of drone/ambient stuff
some corkin stuff(especially considerin the platform)was made with mick as the beginnings of article 9

those were the days
we even managed a thirty minute epic

journeys end,f**king great track(imo

)

(heehee vurt ... funny how we dont evolve TOO much ... all my PS1 stuff is pretty much all rhythm and no tune)

... hmmmnnn ...

Just want until Sony PS3 is finally release outside of Japan!

New game DVDs with Acid Pro or Live-inspire functions are going to help children & teens to consider a career in electronic music.

~1996 - Borrowed my friend's EMU SP-12 for a year or so (he got an SP1200 - I ended up giving it back once I got the SY22)

~1998 - Yamaha SY22 and Roland MC50 (SY22 stolen, sold MC50 to buy JV-1000)

~1999 Roland JV-1000 and S-550 (sold the S-550 to buy ASR-X)

~late 1999 to 2001 Ensoniq ASR-X and Roland JV-1000. (I made some beautiful music with that setup...)

Aug 2001 - Mac G4, Logic 4.7, and Yamaha MOTIF.

MOTIF later stolen, sold the ASR-X (wish I hadn't) and I recently sold the JV-1000 to pay rent...

January-February 2005 - Mac G5 (its in the mail now!) Logic 7, Alesis ION (also in the mail!), AthlonXP 2000 PC, and a bunch of plugins.

If I ever see that same Roland JV-1000 in my local pawn shop, I'll buy it. And I'm keep it! That's a piece of music history. It everything that Sampletank 1 should have been.

I started exactly three years ago.

got a magix Midistudio for xmas and tried the first sounds.
Before I played only a bit on myold acoustic-guitar
Then came Cubase 5.1 and my Yamaha RS7000 Sequencer (already sold

).
and my Boss GT-6 still in use for the gitar parts

sometimes

and more and more I moved to the PC and softsynths.
and then Tracktion and my real love = eXT

and so on and so on

i really started making music on my computer after FL2 came out. i thought FL was the greatest thing ever... then FL2.5 came out and i was like "WHOA!", and later FL 3 came out and i couldn't believe it... now here i am with logic pro 6 on my mac and reason 2.5 and i can't believe how barbaric FL2 was

I started around '86 with BEEP on my ZX Spectrum, followed by PLAY on my +2 Spectrum

Then got myself an Amiga 500 and a copy of MED

I kept updating my Cakewalk software for years. It wasn't until I discovered plug ins after the Korg Wavestation Legacy that I really found a use for Sonar V1.1 last year. After the Legacy, I got Zero Vector, Kubik, FM7, Cameleon 5000, Waldorf PPG Wave, M42 Nebula and just recently Vector Sector (excellent emulation of the Prophet VS). Next I plan to get RHINO. It has a fantastic Step Sequencer that I love.

These software synths are fabulous. Some are better than hardware!

had a coco ala. revenge of the nerds in 83 but eg. a goto statement took long enuff to execute to throw the timing off appreciably. found a synth cartridge for it 92.. 2 voices, timbre by 3 double digit hex values.. i can tell, you are now sexually aroused by the mere mention of the enumeration system.

About 4 or 5 years ago, when a friend told me about fruity loops. That was back when it was still called fruity loops, version 1 or 2, I cant remember.

I only started with computer recording this century, before that I had a hard disc recorder (still do), before that a Tascam 388 8 track and a yamaha mtx something 4 track before that I had an old 424, before that was an old cutec 4-track and before that all we could do was the two tape deck method. It's only been the last couple of years that I have actually become computer dependant. The Akai dps12 I have is my digital mixer now (with memory

) we wont even go into the slew of hardware processors I have had over the years for both recording and in my old bands PA...The damn rolling rack for the PA (power amps only) sank right through the wooden floor where we practiced and it took all we had to get it out (it was only 2400 watts to the front and 800 watts to the monitors

)...I gotta say a laptop, pcr50 and my recliner are a long way from where I started...
