Fortunately, after the time the members of the band did not want to play any more, development of computer and digital technology lowered the prize of synthesizers a lot and that allowed me to buy my first syntesizer Roland Alpha Juno-1 ;)
At present I am using the following equipment:
Roland V-synth VC1 card (D-50)
Alesis Ion
Korg MS - 2000B
ARP Explorer I
Yamaha S30 (Master keyboard)
Yamaha CS1x
Roland JV-1010
Roland Alpha Juno-1
Wersi Entertainer
Interface: Terratec Phase 26, E-mu 0404
Effects processor Behringer Virtualizer Pro DSP2024P
There are 2 main rules I obey in composing. 1. The patch should be of original sound not copied from the best TD albums ;). Synthesizers are instruments of a great varety of sounds to obtain so I have no reason to play with sounds that are indeed great but well known. 2. Apart from a good synth patch a melody line must be included in the composition. Some moments without melody could be be beneficial or even required but should not be the essential part of a composition. Mostly, I convert to sounds things which are on my mind at a time but somethimes I have a full vision of my composition with defined mood, dynamics, patches. It is very inspiring for me to have a title of a song or the main problem connected with sound and notes that I create. Creation of electronic music is a hobby for me, it is a good means to retain my psychic balance and spend free time with pleasure, it is also a good psychotherapy, a possibility to go deeply into myself and simultaneously reach the boundaries of the Universe
