The Studio

At the heart of the studio is the enviable collection of rare vintage and modern synthesisers and drum machines from Roland, Yamaha, Korg, Moog, Sequential and more. Unrivalled in most commerical studios these synths and drum machines are complimented by the superb 24 channel SSL console and a host of rare and classic outbound gear and electronics. 

The synths are spread accross two rooms in the studio giving space for creativity but also allowing for the two rooms to be used individually if required. The synths in the second room can be run from the main control room and are all linked via MIDI and audio links.

The studio features a massive Roland System 100m modular system housing 45 of these amazing rare modules. It truly is a beast of a system and is complimented by newer Eurorack modules from various manufacturers including Moog, Roland, Intellijel, Mutable Insturments and more.

There is also a legendary Yamaha CS80, Moog One, MiniMoog, Sequential Prophet T8, Roland Jupiter 8, Jupiter 6, Juno 6 and many more.

Live ROOM, SYNTH CAVE, GUITAR BOOTH

The second room of the studio is home is known sa the Synth Cave and is home to the vinatge synths and modulars in one spacious area. There is plenty of natural light and the room can comfortably accommodate a five-piece band.
