That looks like a really interesting sequencer, cheers!

Necromancing this thread because I always wondered whether he used Notator or Cubase, given those were the two main MIDI sequencers on the Atari ST in the early 90s... And it turned out (at least for Analogue Bubblebath 3 opener .215061) it was neither. There was a more obscure MIDI sequencer on the Atari ST called Dr. T's Tiger, and he used the cut down version of that, Tiger Cub. You joke, but I happened to use a toaster in my last track... Hell, I'm listening to .000890569 right now, and that starts off with a vacuum cleaner...

From an interview in 1993.

Aww, yeah, I think they got me good and proper there... ?

Might be interesting...

I still maintain he needs to hire an assistant to help out with things like digitising his old tracks, so he can concentrate on actually making music.

I tried that at the time of the CWLP, but Richard/Grant weren't interested... Thanks for asking back then, it was worth a shot! Yeah - I tried to convince them to do Melodies from Mars (aka CAT087) but Grant insisted Richard had 'plans' for it, and likewise for the ABB5. It's a hell of a long trip to Mars, innit? Huh, well that'll be nice if he does ever get around to it. It's certainly a good reason for saying no to releasing the existing version, that he's hoping to make an even better version instead.

So can we look into crowdsourcing this like with the Caustic Window LP..?

Ah, cool. I hadn't noticed it before. Thanks.

Has this been mentioned here yet? https://aphextwin.warp.net/release/85662-afx-analord-07 I saw someone add it to MusicBrainz.

He had a Roland R-8 early on (including the SN-R8-04 card for TR-808 samples, and Simmons tom as on Green Calx). At least, that's what I'm inferring from what DRN said. So perhaps the acoustic samples are from that too, distorted a little, with reverb from the QuadraVerb? I'm not sure, they're not the most interesting sounds he's used... I know he used the VCS3 a fair bit during the ...ICBYD/Ventolin era, I think for things like ring mod... And he'd do things like flange white noise, probably with the QuadraVerb... And he said he sampled hitting an ammo box from the inside with a wireles

Thanks! Yeah, it's almost all hardware. The only samples I used were of the Mellotron. Everything else is my Doepfer A-100 through an AnaMod ATS-1. (I think that's right, anyway. I could be wrong, I've made a few more tracks since then and my memory's terrible...) What am I using exactly? Let's see... I think that about covers it!
