How exactly is the Provision sound created? When it comes to the synthesizer and drum machine sounds that shape Provision's signature sound, one must understand that Provision uses all Hardware Sequencing and Midi. There are no VST's, softsynths, or computer sequencing software involved. The basis of the Provision Sound is built on a system of sampling. All of the sounds besides those that come from Midi slaved Synthesizers and Drum Modules, come from a custom library that Breye began building in 1996. The Provision sample library was compiled from the following Synthesizers & Drum Machines that Provision previously or currently owns: Minimoog & Moog Source Korg Monopoly, Polysix, & Poly-61 Arp Oddessy & Solina Oberheim OBXa & Matrix-6 Roland Juno-60, Jx3p, TB-303, D-50, Alpha Juno 1, R-8, & MKS-80 (Jupiter 8) Yamaha SY-85, Cs1x, Cs2x, & An1x Casio CZ101 Novation Supernova Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 & Prophet VS Alesis D4, Alesis SR-16 Akai XR-10 E-Mu Procussion Every sound in Provision's sampled library is a sound that was custom made and tweaked, and then sampled from the synthesizers and drum machines listed. The above machines were sampled on an Ensoniq ASR-10. These sounds are loaded into Provision's Sequencer / Workstation the Ensoniq TS-10. Sampled sounds from the library are edited, effected, manipulated, tuned and eventually sequenced along with various hardware synthesizers (via Midi) to complete Provision's signature sound. Provision also samples many sounds from other non synthesizer sources and incorporates those samples into the music. Provision has never sampled other artists music, or used drum loops in their compositions. The following Hardware Synthesizers were used (via Midi) during the following era's of Provision.
