Awesome set up, with no slight at all I'd love to see that studio rationalized to get only what is really needed to record a track on one desk to see what you find most useful. Lovely thanks
Thanks yes me too actually! Making this vid makes me realise how much is basically acting as stands hehe and not being used so much, prob need a new desk to do that too! Thanks for stopping by and hope you pop back soon for new content :)
Thanks! Always feels cluttered as have a lot I don’t use everyday!! Yes love the Emu and want to go thru all my old samples that old Zip drive must be somewhere!! :)
thanks for the studio tour. For me it is all about control types and I am experimenting with dsp. I've never sold anything but never had anything I would consider of resale value. I am just a hobbiest though. I think a lot can be done with emulation (including chip emulation like the new motorala chip emulators these days so the control surfaces are really about how how you get that sound into the control station or daw. Maybe a keytar type guitar midi device would be a fun toy for you to play with I had some other ideas but I think this is the one closest to what I saw in the video.

My sister's ex had a JP -8000 back in the day and I immediately fell in love with it. Modular synthesis via VSTs is my current fascination, (Cardinal, VCV, Reaktor, ARP 2600 V3 et al), so I'd be interested to see vids that explore that topic.
Looks like you got a couple of Thoth cards wedged in the back of your prism rack. Just in case your were wondering where some of the missing cards went 😅 The Roland 531 Module is one of my fav pieces of Kit. Good choice to get one while you still can. Enjoy the modular journey. It's very for filling.
Aha well spotted nearly edited them out but curious if they’d be recognised 😆 Do u have the Roland ? Yes seems to be a great reissue and great starter, thanks will def film some if it once all fixed! :)
That 80's strat is kind of cool. If I really loved it, I wouldn't sell it. Maybe showing how you arrange music in Logic would be cool. Also, what you use for drums, etc... Do you still use the planet phat? It would be fun to hear that again, or how you use it.
I know my son just said it’s his inheritance and I’m not allowed!! But tempted as I don’t play it much and have another although not as nice as that Strat!! Ah ok yes sure more Logic arrangement stuff would be cool esp. As that is often the hardest bit making all those structural choices! Thanks for stopping by and sub so you don’t miss it! :)
Hey 👋 thankyou! Esp. For the lady bit!! So many diff aspects of electronic, mainly chill House and techno and yes vocalist //songwriter too I’ll be adding new material of mine too soon :)
Studied music tech in the early 90’s and I remember using an early version of Cubase on an Atari ST. We used to use an Akai hardware sampler S2000 I think, with various rack mounted modules (Novation bass station and various other bits). Upgraded to an Akai z4 and we used Zip drives. I thought it was amazing at the time. Now using Ableton and a novation midi keyboard as a little home studio set up. I did have a Roland MV-1 after watching a tutorial you did and it inspired me to try it out. Enjoyed it for a while but found it was a bit limited on its own.. Also, do you remember the software called ‘Reason’ by the Propellerheads.
yes I started on Cubase too on an Atari that would overheat and need breaks! Ah yes the Novation sounded great that and the 303 were very 90s! Wish I could have found the Zip drive as prob have some great old samples!! Yeah I tend to use the drum machine aspect of the MV-1 now mostly but it's great for a 'blue screen' break! Let me know if there's any subject you'd like me to explore // make vids on? What style music you making now? :)
@@stellarrubio Thanks for your reply. I was in a band called Bluprint and we managed to get signed to a small independent label called Exceptional records. Sort of trip hop, slightly jazzy, chill out, bit of house. Sample heavy stuff but we also played all our instruments live (guitar, bass, drums and keyboards). Landed a few gigs in London, Bristol and Bath. Nowadays I’m just tinkering with ambient electronic, bit of breaks sort of stuff as I’m a big fan of Sasha and what he’s producing currently. I guess I’ve followed him since the very early days. Actually DJ’ed (as a warm up) with him a few times in the 90’s. Anyway, love your stuff. Would love to see how you incorporate your vocal samples into your music and maybe some thoughts on your inspiration and how you keep motivated in writing new material.
Wow cool, aha funny as I edited out a bit of the vid where I mentioned Sasha, I worked in a studio where he recorded back in the day! Thanks for the support yes sure I'll do some stuff on vocals as working on a new song that I'm gonna do a live TH-cam of so will do a making of too :) I never seem to run out of inspiration mostly comes as I fall asleep and if I remember the next day I use it!!!
JP-8000 will be nearer 98 than 88 - one of the early VAs and legendary for its supersaw System-500 journey sounds great 👍 I wouldn’t sell the MIJ strat.. the problem with selling guitars is you can never get back the same thing.. even if you hunt down same model/factory/year.. they’re all a bit unique
Yes I did look it up after and meant to alter!! Excited to start with system 500 :) seems no one advises selling the fender it is a beaut but don’t play it so much these days! :)
The strat is probably made by the FujiGen factory in Japan.. in the 80's generally the Japanese made Fenders were higher quality than the US made ones! I always find a good crossover realm between synths and guitars in the domain of effects.. super useful for both :) I noticed in another comment you mentioned something about keeping your rack gear tidy.. have you considered a tall thin 19" network rack? I use APC AR201 racks.. but there are other similar or smaller ones. Those are 45U (about 2m tall for this height) and lets you mount a load of rack gear in there.. and if there's no super deep gear you can have it around 25cm from the wall.. so it becomes like gear wallpaper 😂
Cool Chanel,subbed..ive looked at modular myself but just haven't got round to it and I know that you start with a couple of modules and end up with wall to wall stuff and end up living in a shed lol
Haha made me laugh!! It def seems compulsive some of the set ups I see are epic, let’s see where the journey leads!! (Def staring with new leads, we’ll patch leads!!) love Reaktor for the virtuals and may get the ARP used to have an older version !
@@stellarrubio Be easier to get on the space program than learn modular.What sometimes takes them hours to do,I can get the same sounds playing with the buttons on the microwave
Hey Estelle! Great to see you back. Fancy a collaboration with an orchestral composer? Do have a look at my channel if you get a moment. Great seeing that old tech. My oldest bit of gear is a Yamaha QY700 which was a fantastic hardware sequencer back in the day. Look forward to seeing more of your videos and hearing your music.
Hello Mark! Nice to be back :) ooo that sounds interesting I love orchestral sounds I work with violinists a lot also: sounds great on your channel 😊 do you still have the Yamaha? I remember wanting an M1 synth, that also had the in built sequencer and was all the rage once!!
Holy sheep shit! This is the first time that I've completely randomly bumped into someone on t'internet that I've 'known' in real life. I used to catch the 33 to school too. I was in the year above I think. It's great to see that you've gained a seriously respectful amount of success. Music production is my serious hobby, (which is why TH-cam recommended this vid), and I'm currently exploring creating experimental filmscore music so I'm intrigued to explore your creations. Wow! Be safe, Mark.
No way! The good old 33 to Helston! Who are you? I feel like I’m still very much learning but TH-cam seems to be a great place to share work and connect with people!
Loving the vintage gear! Awesome video!
Thank you! A bit more complex with Vintage gear but so worth it :) thanks for the comment!
Nice vid! 👍 A logic/ ni komplete tutorial would be great. I have both, but still at the beginning..Yes, those Roland modules are awesome! 🙋🏼♂️❤
Thanks 🙏🏼 ok great that seems to be the consensus!! Yes can’t wait to proper lay plan in the new Roland!! 😊🎶🔊

Lovely studio, not too cluttered, E-MU emulater samplers are incredible, I had the e5000, great sounding machine.

Yes agree control surfaces very important and make the process much more fun. Will def look into some of these!
Hi! Great video. I would love to go on a Roland System 500 journey with you. ❤ Please make longer videos on all of those other things too though. 🙂
Yesss! Im excited about this one! As soon as fixed will def be doing this, I know though want to explore all the the others too :)
Great informative video, bravo keep it coming!!!!

Yes I could def compare the mod syn to the virtuals! Love ARP too and the Jp is def a keeper! :)
