Michael Bearden's Inauguration Rig

I’ve used NeKos on many TV gigs — the Oscars, the Emmys, the Grammys. I showed it to Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder. They flipped out. They have every keyboard known, so it was cool to have something they didn’t. [Laughs.] I’m sure the next time I go to Herbie’s, he’ll have three of ’em! I also used a Yamaha Motif ES8 and a Korg Triton Extreme. I can pretty much cover everything with all of those.

As to the stage sound, I mixed everything through a Mackie 12-channel mixer that lived next to the Leslie [See photo on page 21. –Ed.], but splits were taken before that for the front-of-house. I had in-ear monitors, and also a wedge which was mainly to hear the Leslie properly. Michael Bearden
