Number 25 in a daily series using the themes from the Hardware Jams group for Jamuary, The theme for today was “Desert Island. Make a jam with the piece of gear that you would choose to take with you.”

If you’re familiar with my studio, it’s jam packed with heavy hardware synths, and as I’m approaching age 70, hauling them around is not really an option. So for my desert island adventure, I’m only taking my MacBook Pro and an Arturia Keystep Pro. That gives me the potential to run on batteries with access to all my soft-synths without requiring medical attention.

Synths used:

Arturia Keystep Pro playing:
Cherry Audio CR78 Drum Synth
Moog Mariana Bass Synth
Cherry Audio Mercury 6 (Leads)
Moog Model D (Leads)
Moog Model 15 (S&H Rhythm)

Effects:

Moog MF103S Phaser
Moog MF108S ClusterFlux
Cherry Audio Galactic Reverb
Cherry Audio Stardust 201 Tape Echo
Valhalla Supermassive
