Updated my live setup.. with another FM synth

After being flat out and leaving this blog languishing for months it took me to be home sick with the flu to get of my backside and update it..

For ages have used an old Yamaha DX21 4OP synth as the main (only?) tone generator, with a Korg ER-1 for rhythms. All this driven from a laptop.

Now have just got a Behringer VMX300 DJ mixer and a Yamaha DX200 synth groovebox thing. The DJ mixer has been very handy with the D D T T residency, but now I can use a new stripped down live setup without a bulky keyboard, laptop or large mixer to haul around.

I will have to work on a new set and evolving a new compositional technique using the on board sequencers of the two grooveboxes, but at least I have a small reliable live setup, while keeping the amazing FM synth sounds.
