Over the years I’ve used many types of gear. I started sequencing with MicroLogic 1.1 on a 486/66 with 8MB of RAM, controlling a Technics KN-800, later a SX KN-3000. Now my workflow and studio setup is based around an Apple computer and a variety of hardware & software synthesizers. When performing live, various combinations of this equipment are used. For those who are interested, here’s an incomplete list of equipment currently in the Hirogari studio. – Bill
