ABOUT me
My name is Aart and love vintage studio gear
It all started with a Commodore 64 and funky drummer........ Besided playing the piano I was a computer geek. When I heard the funky drummer with SID sound chip on the C64. I was hooked !
But then I got into heavy metal guitar music. Electronic music (which always was in the back of my head) was away for a while.
Then the 90's happend with the house music and all. Got a Commodore Amiga and was playing with Pro-tracker and Octamed. The 8 bit Paula music Chip was fantastic and you can use your own samples.
Then I heard about a Moog synthesizer, never heard from it before and what is that ? At the elementary school we listened to Herbie Hancock and Jean Michelle Jarre, an Yamaha DX7 was cool. It was the time in the early 80's that analog synths were out of fashion and the digital synth's took over.
You could pick the Moogs, Oberheims etc. for a few bucks.... If I knew this then ;-)
I bought my real first synthesizer and that was the Korg Wavestation SR for 1800E in 1994. Then a broken down Roland JX3P analog synthesizer and the ball got rolling.
Now Iam packed to the ceiling in my studio but also use plugins from the Soniccore DSP system and some VSTI's but my love goes to hardware. The sound, the hands on feeling is for me the way to go. It is hard work but it is worth the effort !
I want to keep the hardware alive and love to see that people also can apregiate it.
Time is not on our site with the vintage gear and that is why I refurbish them and replace the old electrolytic capacitors and everything that is needed to make the instrument fresh workable again.
Let's keep the source alive because otherwise everything sounds the same in the digital domain !
