Music Tools

Gear is cool. I like using it, and I like building it.

I've been fortunate to work for Korg R&D for a number of years, participating in the development of the Wavestation line, the legendary-but-never-released OASYS keyboard, the 1212 I/O, and the OASYS PCI.

Studio

Construction Zone Studio. I maintain a small project studio, the Construction Zone. A brief description of the studio, along with the obligatory equipment list, is available here.

I'm currently doing another complete restructuring of the studio, and have a list of recording equipment for sale.

Music Software Downloads

I'm not a programmer, but occasionally I've dabbled at making simple musical tools on my own. I wrote the Yamaha SPX-900 librarian module distributed with Opcode's Galaxy, for instance. Some of my modest creations are available on the pages below.

OSX patch lists in midnam format for MOTU's Digital Performer and Digidesign's Pro Tools. These include a new, categorized version of the Fireworx patch list and a categorized patch list for the Eventide DSP7000.

Patch lists & consoles for Digital Performer (OS9 only). MOTU's Digital Performer is my main audio and sequencing environment. I've developed a few small widgets for using DP with Line 6's Pod Pro and the tc electronics Fireworx, which are available for download here.

Korg OASYS PCI plug-ins. OASYS PCI is the best product I've ever had the honor to work on, and it's my studio's secret weapon. I've created 30 free plug-ins for OASYS PCI, including O-Code, O-Mod, Filtermod, Bit Bucket, and more; additional information and download links are available here.

Hypercard Delay Calculator. Some time ago, I created this handy little Hypercard stack (for MacOS) for calculating multitap delays; you can find more information and a download link here.
