Respecified Rodgers 340 Console

Following a gradual replacement over 18 months of the original analogue tone sources with samples supplied by John Giacchi, Cameron Simpson and Neil Jensen, I made the decision to completely gut and refinish the original walnut console in satin black (yummm). The new specification was developed by Neil Jensen and Simon Gledhill.

The new, 171 stop ( by way of 129 SAMs and 42 lit pistons), satin black console came on line in mid 2006. The sampling engines were a pair of DAWs (XP PCs) running Gigastudio 3. Twelve months later the sampling engine was changed to Hauptwerk, which now runs on a 4 core MacPRO with three Echo Audiofire 12 sound cards. The main sample set used is Neil Jensen's Connoisseur series 3/35 for Hauptwerk. From that set I utilise 28 ranks, plus 3 ranks from Brett Milan's Masterworks 3/31 for Hauptwerk.
