Ahead of his performance at the Byday Bynight’s first party of the year this Friday, get to know Blackhill’s studio setup below.
Moog Subsequent 37
"My go-to for mostly everything bass or weird arpy synth bits. I use this live and is the main staple in my setup. So, thank you Moog. I remember one gig with Karin Park, I made the most amazing arp on the fly during the last record, came back on stage to save as a preset and the venue had pulled the plug! Still trying to get that one back. But that’s what I love, it’s always different. "
Juno 106
"Always been a favourite poly synth for me, from basses to pads and everything in between a firm staple of the studio. There will be a track on my album where the lead was made on a broken 106, one of the voice chips had gone so every note’s slightly different. Another one I can’t recreate, let’s hope I still have the stems somewhere."
Soundcraft Delta 24
"I bought this off Voightman, truly grateful to him for bringing this into my life. I run everything analog through this and it’s great for running my digital busses back through. Cold and flu tablets essential also."
Korg ms-20 mini
"A staple in my studio and live setup. Great for build ups and weird sounds. Just make sure you’re tuning on that second oscillator is correct when playing live with a vocalist. Got in trouble a few times for being slightly out. Eeeeek.”
