I use a lot of instruments and equipment: synthesizers, keyboards, samplers, effect processors, electronic drums, hardware sequencers, stringed instruments, acoustic percussion and - mainly on two previous albums - wind instruments. Instruments, equipment and applications, sold or not intended to be used, are not listed. Devices with multiple applications may be listed in multiple paragraphs.  

Date: September 2024 
Equipment in red is new on the track 'Rain of tears' and on the latest album 'The Geisha in the
Paddy' and equipment in blue has not been recorded with yet or recordings have not been
released yet. Type names are listed in Roland style, i.e. letters and numbers are separated by a hyphen.
