<<   Equipment used at 700 West Studios   >>
<< Homemade stuff >>

  • Bi-amped, 3-way studio monitors (Bozak lo, Eminence mids, CTS hi) with 200/100watt 700west amps & electronic x'overs
  • analog synth w/digital key scan - more closely resembled the Buchla, than the Moog (output frequency directly proportional to control voltage). PAIA modules would i'fce with it quite well
  • ring modulator signal processor (quite effective on B3 organ and electric oboe!)
  • Instrument pitch-to-voltage converter (to i'face instruments with the synth)
  • Stereo 4-band compressor
  • 700west-redesigned Teletronics LA-3A compressor/limiters (Vactrol control elements).
  • 700west 4 X 4 'consolette', with hyper-quiet mic amps for distant-mic jobs
  • 3 stretched plate reverb units with 700west 30 watt driving systems (each plate had 4 active pickups on board). The wooden frames were a mistake, tho. Seasonal humidity changes would require periodic re-alignment of the drivers! Only harpsichords are worse!
<< The commercial electronics were >>

  • 3M Model400 4-track 1/2" recorder
  • Tascam 70-8 8-track 1/2" recorder w/DBX noise reduction
