Axe sighting: Robert Fripp

[grandinq]

Saw this article on Reverb about Robert Fripp's rig. Had a cool picture of his laptop with Axe Edit going.

I just think it's cool that he's using the same software etc that I am.

interesting. the patch is called "ipad" (and has no amp blocks), which is running some mellotron software

He's using it for his amp sounds as well, Hiwatt model with a fuzz face pedal, according to a more in-depth rig rundown I saw. Apparently he uses the irig midi with a keyboard controller to contol a mellotron emulator on his ipad, which is routed through the axe...

That's a complicated rig. I am glad I am not his roadie.

I wonder if he is using the Axe also for his soundscape or delay stuff. It might be abundant if you already have those Eventide H8000's.
