Equipment
Liam Howlett’s synths and gear in studio and live.
Roland U-220 sound module
About:
It's got Liam's favourite string sounds on it. He has used the strings, piano and a few other sounds on Experience and Jilted albums.
Gear info:
128 high quality instruments, 6 part multitimbral and 30 note polyphony. This unit has the same specifications as the Roland U-20 keyboard without the keys. It has all the same sounds and features packaged in a compact single-space sound module.
Used:
G-Force (Part 1), Everybody in the Place, Out Of Space (Preset A58 Soft Pad)
I've had that years. That's one of my all-time favourites for strings; the strings on there are a Prodigy trademark! If anyone puts a bit of chorus on those strings, you get the sound from 'Out Of Space' straight away.
