The main workhorse is a full SCSI Pentium III,
current spec is 733Mhz, 512MB RAM, 36GB HD,
Plextor CD-ROM + CDRW, Soundblaster Platinum Live
and Scope/SP. Next to the PC I also use my trusty
little 'ole Atari ST-E, 4MB RAM + 544MB hard disk,
which I still use to create samples using software
from Electronic Cow.
The analogues are controlled via Kenton MIDI to CV
converters Pro-4 and Pro-2000.
Main software tools are emagic's Logic Audio and
SoundDiver, the generic patch editor.
