- Another World

Gear
After years of having a cartage company haul around a double-wide 24-space rack, several keyboards, a Leslie, a vintage Wurlitzer, and other gear, Bob has gone to a keyboard rig that uses plugins accessed in his laptop. Using a select group of plugins and a MIDI keyboard, he is able to provide any sound requested by a producer, without the cost of cartage and a large hardware setup.
Plugins are accessed on an Apple MacBook Pro laptop running Rax, a plugin player for the Mac. Plugins include Ivory, B4 II, Reason, MOTU Mach Five, Native Instruments Elektrik Piano, Omnisphere, Atmosphere, MOTU Electric Keys, and MOTU Symphonic Instrument. Bob's digital interface is the RME Fireface 800.
