This week I'm joined by musician and synth aficionado Peter Taipei for a deep dive into decades of gear, sound design, and creative inspiration. From his early days on the Roland JX-10 and Yamaha RY30 to sampling with EMU samplers, gigging with the Virus TI, and exploring granular synthesis, Peter shares insights from his journey blending guitars and synths in both hardware and DAW-based setups.
We also chat about:
The charm and power of the Korg Modwave
Recreating classic sounds with Behringer clones
Using limitations to spark creativity
Capturing inspiration on the fly
Favorite plugins, drum machines, and DIY gear
Whether you're into vintage hardware, modern production, or hybrid setups, this episode is packed with nostalgic gear talk and practical production tips.
