and perhaps transporting our audience into our dreams&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">I\u2019ve often found this exercise difficult; the concentration required to select sounds and sequencers on the fly, while keeping track of sustain pedals, effects, chords, etc., demands preparation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">For this live session, I used:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">SynthR10 : Master st\u00e9r\u00e9o sequencer, polyphonic pads &amp; effects with polyaftertouch on Korg Keystage 61.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Waldorf Zarembourg : Strings Section with internal phaser.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Vpiano : Midi keyboards for EMU Longboard (Solina sound!) &amp; P800 Behringer arppeggio noised pad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">NRsynth Retro One : soloing across effects pedalboard (delay, Flanger, Phaser) on Roland PC70 MIDI keyboards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Sequencer is postsync on Electribe2 Korg.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Sustain pedals &amp;
