i like using sh*tty equipment. my yamaha tx81z is brilliant, and
it was incredibly cheap. its good for sounds that are "detroity"
in the classic definition, yet its also capable of much much more.
i did at one point have a 909, and i still have a 101, which i
find to be one of the most "fun" to use synths out there. and
while it is greatly limited in what it can do, it is still quite
useful. i bought a bunch of cheap-ish analogue synths to make
music with. for the price of an access virus, i bought a
sequential circuits 6 trak, crumar performer, sh-101. tx81z, and a
hammond m3 organ. i also have a sampler and a couple other older
analogues. the sound im working on right now is very much my own,
while still indebted to the things that have influenced me:
detroit house and techno, old school drum and bass, jamaican dub,
etc. i would feel stupid trying to straight up emulate things that
have already been made. where's the art in that?
