Looks like all the hard loot is for sale. I don't use softsnyths, except a sampler that plays SF2s (soundfonts).

I'm sure he'll be fine.


Maybe he'll start playing some cool keyboards like the piano, electric piano, and Hammond organ. :D

I just can't get into soft synths much. I can make Reason rock hard but it seems to take a lot more effort than my analog synths. They never seem to get the filters quite right, and they are missing the various gain structure properties.

The complete list is here, including some kinda Neve board (Neve 20 input - 5315), and a Zoom 9010.

Could I afford that board, I'd be my own personal Jesu. :twisted:

Just so you know, Alan has not been a part of Depeche Mode for over 12 / 13 years.

They are still friends, but he is not a band member.

Cheers
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

Wasn't he a classically trained pianist?

I dunno. I only met him once, and did not talk about his personal stuff...

yes, and a fine technician. part of their success was they covered all the basis and each specialized at their strength.
