Ignore that, the neutron is a plug in...i thought it was an outboard
step sequencer...

This was from discogs... " Even if DeGeorgio recognizes that he
resorted
to a unique sequencer, the Neutron, to reproduce the modal variations
characterizing his musical inspirations "
...i guess he'd have trouble making his music on a laptop then?

Yeah i can remember seeing a gearlist in some article and it is
definitely a gearjunkies wetdream, oh and he has this:
http://www.kirkdegiorgio.com/ModcanB.htm
Now this reminds me of something I've thought for a while ...
I like Kirk a lot - he's the same age as me so he must be a good
egg (!)
Plus he's one of the people I challenge myself with to see if he's
ever
made a bad record. I certainly don't own any duffers by him.
Problem is
- despite the fact that my record collection is peppered with his
releases from year dot, I'm not sure I can hear the spell-binding
difference in the sounds he comes up with, with that rig and the
sounds
that it's possible to get from a mid-range analog/digital synth. I
just
can't. I still like the last 3 LPs though, so don't get me wrong,
but I
just think he could have saved himself some money or something!
Just mo.
Having said that, it does illustrate that this software vs. hardware
debate currently raging is not really a 'new paradigm' problem. The
same
debates could be heard between advocates and detractors of acoustic
vs.
amplified, synths vs. guitars, and naturally, modular versus stand-
alone
(or whatever they're called.)
So long as you know that such debates are usually futile, I guess they
can be fun and instructive.
