Rick's Rig

So what's it like to stand where Rick does? Well it looks something like this (click on the image for a higher resolution version). This is a stitched image taken at Wembley Arena during the last YES tour.

  • 3 Sycologic M16 MIDI Matrices
  • 1 EMU E4 sampler
  • 1 Korg Triton Rack
  • 1 Korg X5DR
  • 1 Korg MS2000R
  • 1 ART Studio FX unit
  • Mains distribution
  • Rack DIs
  • MIDI patching

• Korg BX3 single manual organ
• Korg Karma
• Korg Prophecy
