CRISTIAN’S CHOICE KIT

Symbolic Sound Kyma

“My main instrument and the software environment for real-time audio programming I’ve been designing with since 2003. Pacarana is the custom-made computer that runs the code I develop in Kyma.”

Orthogonal Devices ER-301

“Like a mini-Kyma for the modular setup, with a similarly unique design philosophy for doing real-time sound design.

Its delay buffer effects are unsurpassed in Eurorack.”

Calrec MiniMixer Mk2

“One of the best British broadcast analogue consoles at this size. Up there with SSL and Neve in terms of prestige and build quality and it’s wonderful to mix on.”

Monome Teletype and Grid

“I only recently discovered Monome open source systems and they’re absolutely cool. They’re clearly focussed on sustaining an innovative experience for the user during real-time sound creation on many levels.”

Sequential Circuits Pro 3

“A powerful beast. It integrates really well with the modular synthesis mentality as it’s not really built around the keyboard as a main controller.”

API outboard

“I managed to afford some API outboard and was blown away by the sound. The 2500+ is the perfect buss compressor for electronic sounds.”
