How exactly is the Provision sound created? When it comes to the synthesizer and drum machine sounds that shape Provision's signature sound, one must understand that Provision uses all Hardware Sequencing and Midi. There are no VST's, softsynths, or computer sequencing software involved. The basis of the Provision Sound is built on a system of sampling. All of the sounds besides those that come from Midi slaved Synthesizers and Drum Modules, come from a custom library that Breye began in 1996. The Provision sample library is comprised from the following Synthesizers & Drum Machines that Provision previously or currently owns: Akai XR-10 Alesis D4 Alesis SR-16 Arp Odyssey Arp Solina Casio CZ-101 E-Mu Procussion Korg Monopoly Korg Polysix Minimoog Moog MG-1 Moog Source Novation Supernova Oberheim Matrix 6 Oberheim OBXa Roland Jupiter 8 Roland Juno-60 Roland Jx3p Roland R-8 Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 Midi Slaved Synthesizers Access Virus KC Ensoniq ESQ1 Korg M1 Roland D-50 Roland System-8 Yamaha Cs1x Yamaha Cs2x Yamaha TG500 (X2) ______________________________________________________ Every sound in Provision's sampled library is a sound that was custom made, and then sampled from the synthesizers and drum machines listed above. The above machines were sampled on an Ensoniq ASR-10. These sounds are then loaded via floppy disc, into Provision's Sequencer / Workstation; an Ensoniq TS-10. Sampled sounds from the library are edited, effected, manipulated, tuned and eventually sequenced along with various hardware synthesizers (via Midi) to complete Provision's signature sound. Provision also samples many sounds from other non synthesizer sources and incorporates those samples into the music. However, Provision has never sampled other artists music; or used drum loops in their compositions. ______________________________________________________ Provision records exclusively at Red Square Digital in Houston, Texas.
