My keyboards:


Since april 2006 I play both live, both in studio this stage piano Roland FP-2.
Great as piano, I like the sound and the touch response, it's a very light instrument too: it weighs only 14Kg! Moreover it also has great samples such as organs, pads, strings...

Wonderful keyboard, Clavia Nord Electro 2. It reproduces famous electromagnetical instruments used between the 60's and the 80's, such as Hammond Organ, Fender Rhodes, Clavinet, Yamaha CP-80, Wurlitzer...



Since august 2006 I have this synth Korg Z1: it has an infinity of possibilities in configurin automatic arpeggiators, but customizing synths sounds is great too.



My favourite one: Korg 01W/Pro. It's not so new, but I think it's still a great instrument!



I have this Yamaha CS1x since june 2003: great synth and great samples.



I bought this vocoder Korg in 2004. I really enjoyed its sounds and vocoder possibilities!




I usually study at home using this Kawai CL-20, digital piano with wonderful realism in sound and touch response!




In the second half of 2007 I bought this organ Godwin, clone Hammond built in 1975. Rick Wakeman played a organ like this one in the album "No earthly connection"!



My expanders:


On the 20/01/05 I found an used E-Mu Vintage Keys Plus, expander with only sounds of the seventies!



Since october 2006 I use a Proteus3 World: it's not so new, but it's a great instrument! Expander designed for world music sounds, I mostly use it for rythm programming.




I use this harmonizer Digitech mainly in my live set: it makes my ugly voice become a 4 voices choir, perfectly harmonizedprendendo in input la mia modesta voce, crea un'ottima armonizzazione aggiungendo 4 voci ampiamente configurabili. Accetta in input anche un segnale midi, che usa (relativamente alla modalità chordal) per capire in tempo reale l'accordo dell'esecuzione in corso.




Since July 2007 I have this E-Mu Orbit 9090, expander designed for electronic music sounds.




I also have this Yamaha TX81Z. It's quite difficult to programme... It's not my favourite expander.




Since april 2007 I process the vocoder and the harmonizer sounds with this Lexicon MPX100.






In my live set, the expanders are controlled by a midi patchbay Kawai MAV-8, by a rack mixer Yamaha MG16/4 and by a Midi Merger MX-28M Digital Music Corp.

My home studio works with a DSP2000 C-port: 2 PCI modules and a rack unit with 8 unbalanced inputs and two balanced with phantom power. I create midi files and write music sheet with a 49keys master Behringer UMX49, plugged via usb2.0 with my notebook.




The guitars I play are an Epiphone Chet Atkins, an acoustic Pearl River, an Arrow serie Silent an electric Welson Jazz Vedette. I process them with a Zoom 606



I have an electric bass and a fretless one too, that I process with a Zoom 505



My father left me this beautiful Soprani accordion.




I bought an electric mandolin mainly to make it play together with an acoustic guitar, in order to create a 12string-like sound, but making the two instruments play different chords.
