Sometimes you just need a lot of gear!

This is only part one but it's funny and informative. Rick Wakeman is a hero of mine. Hope you enjoy this.

I saw that on RWCC, and it is a good look through of what he has on stage, which I am looking forward to seeing in action in March 2017 at Cardiff (first night of the UK ARW tour).

I was intrigued that he has a Montage in his rig, as he is not renowned for using much Yamaha synth gear. And he has two Kronos!

Of course he is still probably blessed with having roadies to shift it all for him!

But yes, you can never have enough goodies. As well as getting my sound banks for the Kronos all organised into one composing set, I have great fun over Christmas with Omnisphere and U-HE Zebra. I've had Omnisphere for a while, but some great sound sets from "The Unfinished" has really inspired me into using it more. So between the Kronos and those two soft synths I think I have the nucleus of what I will be using for the next few years. And that's before you think about everything else I have!

He's my hero too. Can't wait to see ARW in Birmingham.

I almost choked on my tea when he said he has 9 Minimoogs! I think somebody ought to tell him they're making them again.

That's because he has 9 patches he uses
