Linkin Park remixes with Korg TRITON, TRITON-Rack, MS2000 and Electribes
Propelled by a unique mixture of hip-hop with elements of alt metal, electronica and classic rock, the southern California quintet Linkin Park has gathered an enormous and diverse following. The band has remained in the Billboard Top 20 for more than 80 weeks, with more than 13 million albums sold worldwide and over 8 million copies of its debut CD, Hybrid Theory, sold in the U.S. alone. Hybrid Theory was nominated for three GRAMMY awards in 2002, winning the Best Hard Rock Performance GRAMMY for "Crawling."
However, the members of Linkin Park are not content to rest on past successes. They have already embarked on a new project - a remix album of the songs featured on Hybrid Theory - to demonstrate the breadth of styles they can work in. Korg products rank prominently among the tools Linkin Park is utilizing for the remix album, including the ever-popular TRITON, TRITON-Rack, MS2000 and Electribes.
"We are experimenting with things that are not guitars, and that's where the keyboard elements come in," band MC Mike Shinoda commented. "It's a very heavy sample and keyboard driven album. One piece of gear I'm using and like a lot is the TRITON-Rack - it's really light and versatile. There are so many sounds and ways to manipulate those sounds to make them your own that you don't just have to grab and use a stock sound. " He continued, "I also used the Electribes a bit. I used the ESo1 in particular to manipulate vocals or beats. There are certain effects in there that you can't get with other equipment."
DJ Joe Hahn, who remixed the cuts "With You" and "Cure For The Itch," talked about employing his Korg MS2000. "I used it on the remix that I did for 'With You.' I mixed it with a lot of samples. I even took some sampled vocals and tweaked them in the MS2000 - I've been using the TRITON and the MS2000 a lot."
Korg also played a part in the creation of Hybrid Theory. "On the first album there are a whole bunch of songs where the TRITON was used," Hahn confirmed. "On 'Paper Cut' I used some string stuff from the TRITON. On 'Runaway' the keyboard and electronic-type sounds are also a TRITON." "The piano on 'In The End' was also from a TRITON," added Shinoda.
Looking ahead, "I've already got a lot of songs for the new album," Shinoda asserted. "We all have a lot of material for it, and I think part of our sound comes from the types of keyboard and sample sounds that we choose."
Hahn is certain the Korg gear will again factor heavily into the mix: "It's very versatile and the sounds are good. As far as any keyboards out there right now, Korg is at the top. They've got great variety, which is nice when you're going for different types of sounds."
"I want my equipment to be versatile and user-friendly," Shinoda concluded, "and if it is, then I can get really good work done. The Korg gear that I'm working with now really has those qualities and helps me to achieve the type of music that I want to play."
