I finally caught on, and listed the gear in the information text for the video. I often have some hesitation about naming my gear - for a couple reasons: 1) Pure selfishness: A lot of the gear has been discontinued. (The best gear often is!) If I contribute to the gear being more popular, I decrease the chances of finding a replacement on ebay when something breaks. 2) I think the most important part of building a rig is finding stuff that fills YOUR musical needs. I tend to think of the devices as elements of a modular synthesizer. Rather than saying "buy THIS tremolo", I'd rather say, "Try a few tremolos, and buy the one that does what you want." Of course, when it comes to things like tremolos, I've come across some real turds. Todd Reynolds was like: >Hey Matt, that is phenomenal! what a great rig you've got and what >great sounds you >get with it! Really, love love love it. > >Listen, I have an HR-16 sitting around here that I NEVER use. Do you >need a >backup? is there a more general market for these old beauties? Thanks - that means a lot coming from the Todd Reynolds :) I'm kinda stuck on the BOSS DR-660 and DR-770. They have a drumroll button. I'm used to how they treat building and tuning drum kits. They also have the pads and dials arranged in a more ergonomically correct way, which allows me to play a drumroll and change a setting at the same time, with the same hand. If anyone wants to send me one of those, I'd be good to have a spare. I don't know what kind of market there is for drum machines these days. Most of the electronic & hip-hop folks have since moved on to either MPC samplers or software from what I can tell. The only other experimental drum machinist I know of - Ikue Mori - switched to laptop computer at about the time I was getting started. -- Matt Davignon mattdavignon@gmail.com www.ribosomemusic.com Podcast! http://ribosomematt.podomatic.com
