Rainbow's Studio Update:

[rainbow]

Recently updated the home-studio and brought in a couple of software options to go alongside the hardware option. Here's a few links for photos of the current set-up:

Warning to those of a nervous disposition: the first link is to a mugshot of yours truly in said studio, taken by my daughter (the previous one she took was more candid ... but the startled expression would have frightened the horses) ;D ;D
I'm still relegated to a corner under the stairs and when the long-suffering wife & kids are at home it's still like working in London Airport ... but I manage ;D ;D

Cheers ... Rainbow:)

Hey Graham mate,i seem to remember pics of your studio a fair while ago,it looked a bit sparse compared to your current one,wow!! three keyboards & so well organised if you can fit that lot all under the stairs you would be darn right dangerous if you were let loose in the spare bedroom that i use ;D,will talk soon mate,have been a bit busy of late,regards ,Simmo

Thanks all ... ;D ;D

Lemmy Don't see it myself Gerry ;D ;D ;D Got to keep the place tidy, I've got my wife and daughters letting me know it otherwise ... also I hate not being able to find something in a hurry ;D

Yes Tom, you'd be right welcome to borrow the green Brian May if you lived round the corner. It's got Burns TriSonic p/ups and the same switching config as Brian's and you need to spend some time with it to get used to the many configs available to get the sound you're looking for. I reckon you'd have it singing like a kettle in no time ;D ;D

Steve, the silver beast on the stand is an Alesis Fusion 6HD synth ... been around since 2006 'ish when I first got mine ... 4OGB hard drive on board with sampler/VA &FM modelling and access to some killer sounds and vintage instruments via 3rd. party developers. For more info if you're interested , check out the Fusion Club forum:

fusioneer.proboards102.com

The red board below on the stand is the Korg Karma ... great for arps and grooves and inspiration for original comps. There's a Korg X5D module on the shelf above which is full of lovely Korg pads and the EMU Vintage Keys module to the right and the Fusion both satisfy my love of vintage keyboards like the Mellotron, Wurly, Rhodes, Moogs and Hammonds.
The little keyboard is the newest addition and is just purely a 49 key controller for the software instruments in GarageBand and Logic Studio, using the SonicCell as interface into the iMac desktop computer. This set-up should see me out now, all being well
Glad you're enjoying them lovely Korg sounds on the PA-500

Terry mate ... G'day!! Yes, that's it for now ... just can't squeeze anymore gear in now ... but there's still room for a chair to pull up and have a jam when you're over here on tour ;D

Best regards ... Graham:)
