Vintage Keyboard & Research Studio


September 30, 2020
by GForce Software

Situated just outside London, our studio is commercially available in isolation, or with an engineer, or engineer & synth programmer. Our engineer is highly experienced, presentable and diligent. The synth programmer would probably be Dave.

The studio is divided into synth ‘stations’, each synth being plumbed into a rack-mounted line mixer. Line mixers, with stereo A & B outputs, are fed into the Midas desk allowing synths within the same station to have a mixture of outboard effects via the Midas Heritage busses. The desk is then routed to an Apollo 8 interface and, in turn, a 2018 iMac.

All monitoring is via the Adam P22A’s and an Adam Sub-Bass.
