EQUIPMENT
Yamaha S-80 - an 88 key midi controller/sample player with some great sounding instruments. I also own a sustain pedal and foot controller for it.
Maschine Mk. II - a midi pad controller useful as a drum machine, along with other applications.
A laptop with the following software:
FL Studio, which is my native DAW. I also use Maschine's DAW occasionally.
All FL plugins, although I use Harmor and Sytrus the most.
Komplete Select, which contains numerous instruments and synths; I mostly just use the EP and Upright Piano library.
Reaktor 6, a synthesizer/synthesizer creation lab. Wonderful piece of software, I use it religiously.
A 55-gigabyte sample library full of sounds suitable for any genre. The samples are (generally) high quality.
Ozone 7 for mastering and whatnot.
A bunch of other plugins not worth mentioning because I don't use them much.
