hi, well ARR's Favorite Keybaoard undoubtedly -- Yamaha MOTIF ES earlier he used MOTIF 6 now he has switched to ES 6 i hav seen his promos with Yamaha Digital Piano, Yamaha clavinova so i can judge his favorite is definitely YAMAHA's line.
i hav listening to ARR for years now.....so i can makeout his equipments......thru his sounds... his keyboards are.......i guess... 1. Yamaha MOTIF ES 2. Access Virus Kc 3. Clavia nord rack 2 4. YAMAHA DX7 , CS-80 5. KORG TRITON STUDIO maybe he might be using plugin versions of Access Virus and DX7-in NI-FM7 ...but some fat leads , bases are thru these hardware keyboards definitely.. and i am sure he uses spectrasonics - stylus rmx +atmosphere +trilogy and thier sample libraries...i did hear vocal planet + heart of asia,africa + symphony of voices in meenaxi a lot and many of his other movies.. and he uses a combination of protools TDM + Logic pro to sequence and mix..... that's it..on his keybaords and softwares and i am sure there is much more stuff than i could decipher..... if u are trying to emulate ARR SIR I WOULD SAY that musicians like ARR sir are not grt bcoz they hav the best gear but bcoz they hav the best techniques and the best team with them... ARR started at age of four ...now he is forty.... 35 yrs of dedication and riyaaz in music is his strength plus trained in (hinustani + carnatic + western classical) from best music conservatory on planet TRINITY COLLEGE OF MUSIC.... knows arabic +flamenco +latin styles of music and sound engineering also....what else is left...... i read somewhere he is trying to learn the sarangi thesedays why ?/ he has the best player of sarangi...USTAD SULTAN KHAN for him why does he need to learn at this point of his career.... his dedication and experimentaion are the pillars of his success.... ------------------------------------------------ ONE QUESTION FOR THE GROUP >>>>> would ARR had been able to compose tracks of meenaxi , swades , RDB at the age of 18 when he started ?? IMO, experience brings the best in musicians not just young talent..... ------------------------------------------------- ok enough..... if u are trying to buy some gear than i would suggest u to look on alternatives if ur are on budget or are not a pro musician... Yamaha MO6 -FOR THE MOTIF ES 6....same 175 meg samples .... just few functions missing ......a lot cheaper than MOTIF ES... if u can find original MOTIF thats also grt value... but i am sure its not available in india ......yamaha has stopped its production.....its only available in music stores of US KORG TRITON LE / KORG TR6 - FOR KORG TRITON STUDIO / TRITON a scaled down version of KORG TRITON........a lot cheaper versions of the same high quality workstations if u still need the MOTIF ES / TRITON STUDIO and can't afford them go far the RACK versions....same sounds......just a 1000 USD.... connect any midi keyboard ...and make music... abhijazz singer .composer. sound engg.
