Music Technology used in making "Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?"

In last class, we learnt about the different instruments of music technology that are used in the making of this song, 'Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?'. These are all the instruments used in the song and their functions:

• Yamaha SPX990 Multi-effects unit: This machine is used to apply reverb and delay to tracks. It can also create echo effects, gated effects (which reduces steady noise sources) and has freeze programs that can do loop playback. 
• Roland TR909 drum machine: It is a sound source for drum loops. Can store the entire songs with different sections, 16-step sequencer and a realistic, digital drum-kit. 
• Emu Proformance piano sound module: Has two piano sources, one from an old Yamaha synth and another from Emu. 
• Roland Juno 106: Synth bass sounds. It also produces the Chorus effect which are rich and expansive sounds combined together.
• Yamaha SY22 and SY85 synthesizers: String/synth pad sounds. 
• Akal S3200 sampler: This device samples the vocal sounds off the original record and any subsequent editing. 

Instead of using these types of music technology which are expensive, there is a software on the computer called Mixcraft which allows you to create effects and layering of sounds. There is also an app on my Ipad called Garageband which has a number of digital instruments you can play on and you can sample original sounds, etc.
