Band Members: Robin - he plays everything (so if there's something that sounds odd - he probably planned it that way, or at least wants you to think he planned it that way, so blame him and only him). Robin uses Kinetic, Acid, Reason, Soundforge, and Sonar 7 Producer Edition for digital audio and midi sequencing chained to a Triton 88 weighted synth, a microKorg, an MAudio Oxegyn 8, and a Korg Electribe EM-1. Robin likes Korg. And stringed things. Grayorpheus' studio has several hanging on the wall and he wonders when they'll fall on his head. ST include a Epiphone 5-string bass, a Schecter 4 string, a Fender Jazz fretless, a DeArmond "Gumby' bass which is quite delicious, and the old Fender Precision with a Japanese neck, EMGs courtesy of the Antiseptic Society, and a BadAss bridge. For those social occasions that require more than 5 strings, Grayson uses a DeArmond "Gumby" (again?!), a Bill Lawrence Strat, a Fender Highway 1 Strat, and Washburn, Alvarez, and Ibanez/Talman guitars. And a mandolin. And lots of pedals. And wierd adapter thingys that no one knows where they came from. Because we asked and everyone just shakes their heads and changes the subject. And a cat. And this channel changer.
