Current insane techno studio. Rack #2 is currently down while I ponder different ways to make paint or enamel stick to tubular aluminum. Harder than expected; the first attempts failed rather miserably - the second coat invariably destroys the first one. You can see the newly-yellow tubes in the background, awaiting another sanding.
Pic 2: The mighty Amiga 2000hd, paired with a Roland Alpha Juno-2. Powerful juju. Hoovers and 320x200 resolution. TR-505 on top of the monitor, unused 'cause it sucks, unsold 'cause of sentimental value. :)
Pic 3: This rack holds the sequencers and drum machines - there's a Juno-60 on the bottom shelf in this pic, tho it usually sits on the other A-Frame - the Yamaha DX-7 is off-camera, it's usually the bottom shelf - but this setup makes for a nicer home-studio environment. Never tried playing a Juno-60 while sitting down before, it's rather pleasant.
Pic 4: This is a closeup of the mixer and rack units - in the SKB rack, from the top, an Alesis Datadisk (MMT-8 backup), Alesis compressor (Tom's), Rockman Sustainor and Rockman Chorus half-rack FX, Ensoniq ESQ-m, and Sequential Circuits Prophet 2002+ sampler. On top, the mighty Mackie CR-1604 battlemixer!
Pic 5: Pic of the BACK of the gear - man, lots of wires! On the right you can see the Yamaha DX-7 and Casio CZ-101 - the 101 is dead, but the DX-7 is hooked up and in the mix. I always thought the keyboard on the DX-7 was the worst ever, plus mine is a little worse-for-wear. Can't complain, I found that thing at a yard sale in Banff, broken, for $20. Fifteen minutes and a bit of solder later, I'm happy. :)
