2 cheap casio keyboards (from 1982)
One of them doesnt just happen to be a Casio S-40? :)
sorry, both are 'Casio MT-70' :wink:

...and i must say they sounding very strange, but i like such stuff if it's making bleepsounds and minimal electro drums... :P

btw. i'm thinking 'bout making a soundfont of the casio...
talking 'bout soundfonts, what do you think about the 'vintage dreams waves v2' soundfont ?

Gear? We don't need no stinkin' gear... :)

I have a $150 Yamaha keyboard, a cheap Radioshack mike, and a pair of headphones. That's about it for gear. I don't even use the keyboard much except to diddle with tunes and figure out the chords etc. I find myself writing the music directly into the sequencer in piano roll form, rather than playing it live. But that may change as I try to get a more spontaneous sound...

Ah, true! I prefer trackers, but only because I know the software I use like the back of my hand...or something simillar. I'd like to try out more MIDI oriented stuff, but most of it requires somekind of MIDI keyboard (which I don't have) to be able to work smoothly. So until I get that I'll be stuck with a tracker :)

I started using Reason back in September I think. Before that I was a tracker, FastTracker 2 and ModPlug Tracker once I got my new system since FT2 wouldn't run on that :? I took a look at Scale and Renoise but haven't gotten into them yet...
<--- I went that way --->

Noisetracker... Uhm... No, that was on the Amiga. Haven't used a tracker for more than 10 years now.

As for a sequencer... Does Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.0 count?

Sequencer - what's that???

Post by Hille »

Well, when I sequence I use the onboard sequencer in my Roland XP-50.. Unless of course I need Amiga sound, where I use HeartTracker, C64 sound, where I use CyberTracker or VIC-20 sound, where I use Fischichella (did I get that right?). Anyone got a good tracker for Amstrad CPC464?

Much too often I tend to rely on my own capability of playing things by hand...

yep, it's very strange i've use this soundfont on three different
soundcards (AWE 32, SBlive and Audigy Platinum) and every
time it sounds different (tuning, filter & ADSR props.... :cry: ) !

...but sometimes such sounds (call it special fx sounds) fits in a tune... :wink:

btw. most of the time i use soundfonts done myself, so i know what i get...

Hmmm... I use Emagic Logic, too... :)
So just imagine 2 points for Logic now.

Cheers,

hope you're a mac user.... 'cause of emagic future non-support for pc... :wink:
don't get me wrong, i like both, pc for music & mac for graphics (esp. at my time at BBDO.. :twisted: )

btw. it doesen't matter for me which is best sequencer, 'cause
i started '92 with cakewalk (on msdos..) and us it till today,
now it's sonar2 but the only reasons is that know these cakewalk
products. if i change to another sequencer, my workflow goes
down 'cause i must learn the handling of a new concept..... :roll:
