Hello 

First of all, all my Virus Ti sounds are entirely my own made from scratch, and if you hear a patch you like, you can have it for free.

I am a 33 year old guy from Copenhagen, Denmark.

Selected Equipment
-Clavia Nord Lead 2X (best virtual analog  in raw sound)
- Access Virus TI2 Desktop (best virtual analog in raw power)
- 1992 Japanese Ibanez S Series guitar with custom DiMarzio Pickups (recording guitar)
-TC Electronic Powercore PCI DSP Card (for effects)
-MOTU 896HD HD Recording Interface
-RME OctaMic Microphone Preamp



I have been playing music since I was around 14 years old. Starting simultaneously with acoustic and electronic musik by both getting a guitar and a computer with a soundcard with an onboard sample based "synthesizer" (like a simple rompler) with a simple sequencer program. I had no keyboard so for a long time I enter music with the mouse.

During the last 10 years I have painstakingly saved up and piece by piece bought the equipment of my current setup. It is nothing fancy but everything is professional grade equipmant like MOTU, RME, Clavia, Access, Yamaha and ADAM. I have deliberately chosen not to buy cheap equipment and in stead waited, saved up and bought quality gear that I would not get sick off and have to replace later.

Here is a picture of my current setup:

When I make electronic music I play everything live on keyboard and then edit the MIDI data if required. That includes drums. I never enter notes with the mouse  Sometimes I only record af few bars at a time (and do some retakes) if the piece is very difficult and/or  very fast. I can't really play "normal" keyboard, like LIVE in a band, only every basic chord stuff, but I am sure I am not the worst keyboard player amongst electronic musicians, although surely not amongst the best either.

My older electronic stuff was made up on the fly and was mostly basslines with basic chords on top. Some liked it.

Now I write some music on guitar seperate from the recording process, and when I have something that I like I start adapting the guitar piece into synth riffs and record drums etc. The track "Resonant Reconquest" is the first example of this new process. I prefer working like this as the results are more musically interesting.

Because the electronic stuff started as moody guitar piece the result is a sort light/poppish trance mixed with some house elements. I would call it "Club Trance" of "Soft Trance".

My favorite euiptment is:

Clavia Nord Lead 2X (virtual analog synthesizer)

Native Instruments Maschine MKII (software sampler with dedicated MPC-style controller)

MOTU 896HD (rack-mount harddisk recording interface or "soundcard")

Powercore PCI MKII (DSP card for hardbare VST effect plugins)
