Actually if you add an MMT8, which is also dirt cheap (although they sometimes lose their memory), sequencing that gear is reasonably easy ... well if you either know how to play parts or stick to somewhat reasonable step sequences.
Of course you could also just use able to run all that gear off of something like Ableton, I suppose you'd just need some CV-Midi converter for the 909. Running old gear off of Ableton actually gives great results, at my friend's house we were messing with his Memory Moog that way and it sounded really great. He had been using a tracker before I got him hooked on Ableton! haha ~David On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 11:39 PM, Mike Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > The sound comes from a Korg rompler, likely an X5d. > > If you want to do the 90's Mills thing, the formula is: 909, Yamaha > QX21, Akai S3000, EMU Carnival, Yamaha DX100, Yamaha TG33, and an > early 90's Korg rompler(doesn't matter which one). > > I have heard that Neil Oliverra did Sountrack313 on an X5d, and that's it. > > The gear used on old Mills records and Soundtrack313 is stupid cheap > these days, the hard part is being disciplined enough to work though > the interfaces.
