Hi friends,

I'm Alex Falcone from Italy, I'm a self teach keyboardist from the young age of 14.
In 2009 I've released for Rock Royce Records a cd of original hard 'n' classic rock songs with the collaboration of several international rock stars as Kee Marcello (Europe), James Christian (House of Lords), Doogie White (Rainbow, Y. Malmsteen) and many others. I also played live with John Lawton, the second historical singer of Uriah Heep band.

My prefferred bands and artists are: Deep Purple, Rainbow, Whitesnake, Uriah Heep, Phenomena, Hardline, Styx, House of Lords etc... Jon Lord, Tony Carey, David Rosenthal, Ken Hensley, Ritchie Blackmore, R.J. DIo, Cozy Powell ect.

At that time I didn't have the PC3K8 and the Hammond organs and I used a lot of virtual instruments for the "AphasiA" album.

Nowadays I can confirm that no one clone or plugin can compete with the original warm, majestic sound of the original organ and about synths, the sounds are always better from a hardware keyboard passing through a real speaker.
The same think, I could tell you about guitar sounds and sound/speaker simulators.

My keyboard setup is:

Hammond B3 splittable, L100 portable, M102, T 200, 2 leslie 122, Leslie Elkatone, Leslie Trep, Steelphon tube head, Kurzweil PC3K8, Moog Little Phatty II, Emu sampler 6400, Korg M1, Wavestation, MS 2000, Poly 61, Roland D110, D 50, U110, Crumar multiman, T3, Yamaha DX7, Casio Privia, MK55 master keyboard, Alesis Q61 and Qx61 master keyboards, Simmons SPM 8:2 programmable 1U rack mixer, Yamaha 01V, MoogerFooger Ring Mod., MacBookPro 17" with mainstage 2.2, same diy keyboards.

In the past I selled a Mini Moog with ribbon pitch and mod. controllers, a Korg Mono/Poly, a Polysix, a Davoli Synth, a Elka Synthex, Cheetach MS6, Casio FZ1. Nowadays I don't sell nothing anymore to not do the same mistakes of the past... but my heart is still broken !!!

Next keyboards I would like to buy are Korg King Korg and in the future a Prophet 5.

Cheers,
Alex Falcone
