Chris's synth

#1 Post by wizboy »

Not that anybody cares but seems like Chris finally opted for a Korg Triton synthesizer.... no wonder Fundamental sounds so good now.....

I have the korg karma which is essencially an enhanced triton with a more complicated arp system.

I dont know why but I always assumed that chris would rather use some obscure synth than a really well known and used commercial one.

He always used a roland controller in most of PSB's concerts, excluding the Release tour where he used NorLead....

He used Roland A90/A50..... who knows what they were controlling :)

It´s weird to see him playing another keyboard. Mostly it was Roland A50

Obviously PSB uses a variety of sounds from lots of sound sources.

the laptop Chris uses just shows him what to play. it replaces the tacky sheet music stand that he used for the most part on the Release tour.probably cause it looks "cooler".

But the Powerbook was used for the 'Barfly versions' wasn't it? And that wasn't just showing him music to play I presume.
