Equipment Because of the stylistic nature of some recent touring projects, always involving "hybrid" Acoustic/Electric situations, Otmaro Ruiz has to accomodate the minimum and most efficient set-ups. A typical ("conservative") set-up might include: An Acoustic Grand Piano, GEM PROMEGA 2, ROLAND JD-800 and a rack with: MACKIE 1402 VLZ Mixer, KORG TRITON Rack, ROLAND D-550, ROLAND XV-1010, KURZWEIL MicroPiano, GENERALMUSIC RealPiano Module (and/or ROLAND S-760 Sampler). Optional Own amplification: BARBETTA SONA 40, STEWART ELECTRONICS PA-1000 Amp and two BAGEND TA-12 Loudspeakers. RADIAL ENGINEERING Products (DI Boxes)
