Jim Wilkas

I'm currently not in a band but enjoy writing and recording music in my home studio. I play keyboards and saxophone primarily, and am a hack on several other instruments, guitar not being one of them. (I just don't get guitar) Here are some of the tunes I've done in the past...hopefully I'll be adding more in the near future.Even though I've listed my friends that have contributed to some of my recordings, it's not actually a band...only in the digital world.I use SONAR as my recording platform. I also use a handful of plug-ins for many of the sounds. In fact, 'Maureen's Song' was an experiment to use Edirol's 'Super Quartet' which includes pianos, guitars. basses and drums and Arturia's 'MiniMoog V'. I also use NI B4 and FM7, Edirol HQ Orchestra and Edirol's HyperCanvas. My favorite 'plug-in' is my Knabe 6'4" Grand Piano which I record onto my laptop and tranfer to my studio.I also use some vintage keyboards, some of which I have restored. They can be seen at www.wsmsmusic.com/vintagekeyboards.htm. Check them out!
