Let's figure out BOC gear

Besides de obvious Yamaha CS1X, I can only guess that there is a Sampler connected by SCSI cable maybe to a external Zip or HD drive. Maybe an Akai S3000XL? Or 1000XL?

I don't think they are using audio out from that CS1X. Maybe it's controlling the sampler.

A little help here?

Cheers

no need for the nastiness

 

I own a CS1X and the sounds on that thing are nothing like what BOC produce in their tracks. Would be interesting to see what pictures you have anyway.

Sorry for the missing picture. And I'm sorry if any rule was broken in this post. If it's against the rules please delete it.

From the picture I can ascertain that they use special boc synthesizers and recorderisers all connected by special cables that go into special televisions. and a warm hat.

Sorry, I can't tell anything from that photo. I did not notice the hazmat sticker on the tv monitor though, I think that may be a clue.

that they work with extremely dangerous and unstable equipment?

 

so that's the secret to their sound... spilling coke on all the machines.

cool, never seen this picture before. that synth could actually be a CS1X, its the right colour and size. as you said they are just probably using it as a master keyboard.

Haven't seen that picture before. Is that yours?

 

Unfortunately,no. Since i became slightly obsessed in '02 they haven't played live,not that i'm aware of anyway.

 

Not sure where i found it,it's not here:

but there are some good live photos to be viewed,this being a personal favourite:

i know they use mpcs

 

and i doubt they use a cs1x but you probably got that mixed up with a cs-01 - cs-80

 

i wouldb't be surprised if they did some of their beats on a computer

sh101 could be one of the pieces used in past albums...

samples done on my sh101 [with additiontal reverb and or chorus]. i feel dirty having done these.

but do your own shit though.

 

you're right, those are quite close, One Very Important Thought particularly.
