Here is a selection of equipment I use both live and in the studio for keys recording sessions (book a session via the Contact page).
Nord Stage 3 Compact
Compact, light, well built, killer vintage and modern sounds. The core of my live rig.
Nord Stage 2 88
Sometimes you need 88 keys.
Oberheim OB-X8
The classic Oberheim OB-X, OB-Xa, OB-8 and OB-SX all in a single package. Pure 80s analog goodness in a box.
Sequential Take-5
Classic Prophet-style 5 voice analog goodness in a compact, solid package.
Novation Summit
Amazing 16-Voice FPGA synth w analog filters. A digital/analog hybrid monster capable of a vast array of gorgeous tones. Excellent action and build, heaps of hands on control and stunning built in effects.
Expressive E Osmose
Ground-breaking expressive keyboard technology. An organic, intuitive instrument. Playing is believing.
Yamaha U1 (Japan)
Plays beautifully, records beautifully. A real gem.
Moog Sub 37
Classic Moog tone and that delicious 24db filter in a modern package w all the up to date conveniences and reliability
Roland Fantom-06
The ‘toolbox’. If you a need a sound, it’s probably in here. Also my go-to Mainstage controller & audio/MIDI interface when on the road. Lightweight, feels great to play, fast UI.
Roland System-8
All of Roland’s classic 80s synths in a modern day, lightweight package. Jupiter, Juno, JX and the very underrated System-8 engine itself.
Korg ARP Odyssey
Herbie used it. George used it. It’s the ARP Odyssey. What more needs to be said?
Moog Grandmother
Not your garden variety grandmother. Vintage Moog-modular goodness in a portable, patchable package.
Yamaha DX7 Mk1
Classic. 80s. What more needs to be said?
Roland D-50
Another all-time classic. Gorgeous digital. The pads, the plucks, the programming. Impeccable.
Roland Se-02
The world needs more collabs between Roland and Studio Electronics. An absolute gem of a synth.
Oberheim Matrix-1000
Very DCO. Very Oberheim. Very underrated. 1000 tasty patches in a box and thanks to modern day tools - fully editable via an iPad.
Korg M500 MicroPreset
The very first analog synth I ever owned. Has cardboard overlays for presets and one badass vintage Korg filter. Quirky and funky.
Korg Wavestate
Rhythmic, paddy, sparkly goodness through the wonders of Wave Sequencing
WASP Deluxe
A gnarly, squelchy, analog filter paired with digital oscillators. Tasty.
PWM Malevolent
When a WASP isn’t gnarly enough.
Waldorf Streichfett
“Spreadable Fat” is the translation. String machines and plucky synth goodness in a box. Yes please.
Behringer Model D
You’d think I’d have enough Moog-style synths. You’d be wrong.
