::::IN THE STUDIO::::

At home, where wires can be strewn about any which way, my setup is basically one that allows me quick access to my laptop and the 5-octave keyboard controller, my the Roland D-20. Everything else is scattered about. I hook everything up to my lazy Samick 12-channel LM-122 mixer (which sometimes needs to be slapped to get it to work). Monitoring is done on an old Sony CFS-KDW40S boombox whose cassette player wont work, but which at least sports mega bass, and stereo LINE INs. Recently added a wonderful pair of AKG K-66 headphones which have opened new vistas of sound to my ears.

::::LIVE GIG SETUP::::

At live gigs, where speed of setup is often essential, I have often had to make do with my laptop, period. In those instances I would use BOME's mousekeyboard as a virtual keyboard via my QWERTY keys. More recently though I've been able to buy an Oxygen8 USB controller, and bring back into service my lovely Boss Sp-202 sampler for hands-on pseudo-scratching and weird samples.
