Equipment List at the Fern Forest Project

 

Athlon 64 3200  768Meg RAM - Windows XP with Cubase 4
Halion software sampler - this is great, as it saves itself with the cubase files. I am very lazy

Numerous VST and Direct X plugins including Autotune, Vintage Warmer, GRM tools 1&2, Vaz +, Absynth 4, Native instruments 2XT, Arturia Minimoog, Moog Modular, CS80 & Arp 2600 models - I really like this last one.
TC powercore  - very pleased with this. Flashy compressors and mutliband mastering X3
M-audio firewire audiophile
Event 20/20 BAS monitor speakers

Roland RD-170 - 7 octave weighted keyboard & piano. Very nice - mainly used at church at present.
Kord Radius analogue modelling synthesiser - great polysynth

Zoom guitar stomp box
Beyer Dynamics DT250 monitor headphones
Rode NT2 microphone - brilliant mic

Fender Stratocaster 1972 - not the best vintage I'm told but I love it
Takamine acoustic - very fond of this, quite small and light with great pickup
