The primary gear I've been using are in the pics on my MySpace page.
I've turned into a gear whore, specifically old analog gear (huh).
Haha, that pic of the Toccata just makes me want to hear the comp even more!

You don't like the Mighty Toccata!? It's a beast. I take it to shows all the time and people are like, "Damn, sounds good!, What is it?"
I have found very little about it. I know they made em in Italy.

I have difficulties to keep myself quiet about One on Twoism, I don't want to tease you lot with it so I'll wait till the first copies are going to be send (approx first week of 2007) for a decent review about it.

Huh? I think it looks cool. I'm sure it sounds good too
Been wanting an older string synth for a while.. like the Korg Delta (mmmmm).

I work on Powerbook G4 with 2gb of DDR-RAM, running mainly Ableton Live, Digital Performer, Reason and Peak mainly, aside from T-Racks plugins and some VST instruments by Arturia.
I record everything through an M-Audio Firewire 1814 (drums, acoustic and electric guitar, organ, etc) and I use an Edirol PCR-30 MIDI Keyboard/controller and a pair of Monitor Audio and Yamaha speakers.
Have a couple of Shure microphones and I think that's pretty much it.

Just kidding with ya, I didn't know if you knew what it was, cause I know nothing about where it came from really. I want an old moog pretty bad, but that is some money right there.

I used to work in a thrift store... and one time an actual original leslie cabinet was donated. The thing was mammoth. A friend of mine who also worked there at the time "procured" it, took it home and cleaned it up. The damn thing looked like new... however... he was missing one vital component. The power cord. Shit like that isn't easy to come by these days. I haven't asked him what's become of it recently. I wonder if he ever sold it.

It sounds sooo nice too! It has a rotating vibrato and chorale in it.
You can open it up from the top shell and mess with it's settings too.
