My most important gear! Rompling "computer", estonian "Pille" and Otamatone tiger. ;)


Gear

I don't use stock software synths and that kind of stuff, including аbleton, plugins, whatever - I wholeheartedly despise them all. Only pure rack synth, sampling and effects on MIDI seq plus hardware multitracking and analog mixing.

Oldschool tube processing
  • Erica Synths modular gear of all shapes and sizes.
  • Many kinds of ethnic and acoustic insturments, mostly string, mallet, wind and percussion.
  • Roland/boss gear. Like it. Tons of old school and vintage analog, poly~mono, whatever was ever a thing, down to sweet old sound canvas.
  • Korg gear. Like it as well - analog or not. Radias, Wavestations, MS-20 or 2000s, Z-1 or Prophecy, Trinities and Tritons, Poly and what not. Also a fun vaiety of micros, kaoss and monotron thingies.
  • Yamaha gear. Sweet FM classics, truckloads of old PSRs, FM+AWM vector and non-vector, even SKs, VL virtual acoustics, MK, SHS, PSS toys, and oddball SG japanese singer-in-a-box proto-miku;
  • Ensoniq, Alesis, Akai, Novation, Oberheim, Vermona and Emu classic gear. Favourites being a pair of Proteus2000 (packed with wave expansions, favourite of hose are Phatt, Orche, World, Protozoa) and all ESIs, EMAX, E6400, S3000XL, Matrix, OB-12, Ion, Micron and QuadraSynth.
  • Truckload of soviet synthesizers/organs ranging from 1968 to 1992: Электроника ЭМ-04, ЭМ-05, ЭМ-14, ЭМ-25, ФЛ-01, РХ-1000, Ритм-2, Стилофон; Юность Железная, 21, 73, 1122, 1132; Лель 22, ПСР, ЦЗ, РЦ, Dr-8; Фаэми; Квинтет; RMIF Miki, Opus, Venta, TI-3, TI-5 and many more. Erica Synth rackmounted ПОЛИВОКС.
    I can also do a lo-fi master using vintage soviet mixing console diectly to soviet four-track or even an absolute vintage tube mono tape reel-to-reel overdub recorder. For such occasions, vintage soviet microphones can also be used, as I have a plenty of them, including even carbon ones.
  • A lot of other weird digital and analog synth gear from Casio, Technics, Farfisa, Viscount, Kawai, Orla, Vermona and what not. Including also probably a hundred chinese table hooters (most of them significantly improved, e.g. modified/bent with, for example, balanced studio i/o, FM input, imrpoved SNR and PSRR). Vintage Casios including CZ-5000, CT-6000, MT-68, MT-400V, MT-520, RZ-1, CSM-1, CSM-10P, PT, KT, MA, SA et cetera.
  • Effects racks is made up of array of Digitech StudioQuad 2/4/400, IPS33, S100, RDS, DSP, Twin, a few TSRs, a few RPs, a pair of VHM-5; Alesis Midiverb-1/2/3/4, Quadraverb, Akira; Boss GT-Pro, GX-700, VF-1, SE-50&70; Korg DVP-1; Roland SRV-2000; Yamaha SPX-90 and the weird R1000; Viscount EFX-10, HP-3; Lexicon, Zoom and what not.
  • Pump organs, accordeons, melodions - I've got a soft spot for those as well.
  • I also design my own digital and analog gear. More on it - coming soon. Also, take a look&listen at my latest analog VCO and VCF modules in youtube/muffwiggler.




Custom Gear

Besides modding and bending, I also create some soundgear myself. Featuring dual YM2149, YM2612, Yamaha OPJ, OPQ, OPK, OPK2 (there's absolutely no information about these chips on the net), Yamaha GEW DSPs, modified board wth Roland's GP-4 (TC6116AF) and custom DSP sound modules.
