Persona Digital Music Studio Technology In 1985 Persona Productions began by buying state of the art equipment; a Yahama DX7 Synthesizer, a programmable sound effects module, mixing board, an analogue tape recorder and a PC that ran a DOS based sequencer, Textures. We have history and know how much sound production and recording equipment has progressed. Our 2008 studio has become compact, efficient and very powerful. We now use two computers and three sound production modules: Korg Trinity, EMU Proteus 2500 and the EMU Emulator X2 software sampler. Two EMU audio/midi interfaces, the 1820s replace our mixing hardware and effects modules. Korg Trinity
The Korg Trinity is a synthesizer, music station, first available in 1996. The Trinity became a highly regarded professional instrument. The Trinity workstation features sound samples combined with filters and a versatile set of sound processing effects to create diversified orchestration. Programming is done through a graphic touchscreen. Song composition is available with a built-in 16-track sequencer. The Trinity synthesizer was a descendant of the original Korg OASYS synthesizer, an acronym for Open Architecture Synthesis System that Korg previewed in 1994 but did not market until it released the Trinity. EMU Proteus 2500
The EMU Proteus 2500 music synthesizer, workstation without keyboard. The P2500 represents a highly evolved, excellent example of electronic engineering, sound sampling and musical sophistication. Our current configuration has 2200 instrument samples, 512 programmable user presents ( programs) and and additional 1024 presets in ROM. Its high speed processor handles dense MIDI data without dropouts or distortion. The module is highly programmable with an amazing array of 4 layered sounds 50 filters and 2 sets of effects. The synthesis architecture is the same in Emulator X2 so that familiarity with either allows you to program both. Often an instrument requires modification to fit into the mix. The 16 knobs on the left are programmable and provide quick access to 64 programming parameters. I have always enjoyed turning knobs to adjust sound... one of the sensual pleasures of early analog synthesizers that EMU resurrected in this synth. This is a module for sophisticated professionals; beginners should avoid. EMU X2 Emulator Sound Sampling Software. The EMU X2 Software is the latest and best. Over 30 years of sampler development at EMU has been packaged into a program that turns a PC into an orchestra or any other sound source you can imagine. It does depend on having a fast computer with an EMU professional sound card and then you can produce exquisite sound quality, using powerful sampling, synthesis and filters. We dedicate one computer for the X2 to run without competition from other programs and use the EMU Audio/Midi interface 1820M. We have accumulated a planet-wide sound-sample collection. The X2 enables a composer to select and program sounds to fit special and often the unique needs of a composition. The possibilities seem endless.
