Anodize

Deryl Leon, the band’s drummer comments;

“I find the large amount of user presets to be an important aid in our live setup. Since we prefer not to use any type of sequencer or playback device on stage, we need an easy way to switch between sounds on the fly. With 200 user slots at our disposal we can program the sounds we need, in the order we need them, and just simply scroll through during the gig.”

“The factory presets have been an essential tool in both inspiring and creating the melodic hooks comprised in our songs. The built-in effects have saved us tons of money in additional outboard gear. Plus, there's less stuff to lug around. The K-Station fits just about anywhere and weighs next to nothing.”

“Another major selling point for us (and this applies to all Novation products) was the ‘tweak-ability factor’. There's nothing you can't do within a specific program and I am sure we have not even begun to scratch the surface.”

Recently, Anodize have begun remixing their straight-ahead rock songs into trance, drum-n-bass, or pure industrial versions. The K-Station again has been an integral part of the process since these versions are even more synth-heavy than the originals. Their aim is to occasionally switch up live shows by playing remixes instead of original versions, thus lending themselves to more clubs in the trendy South Beach area.
