I'd love to know if there's anyone else here that has completely stopped using software synths also. I don't even have most of them installed anymore. SO much to get around to selling but the task daunts me lol.
I do.

Recently I've unconsciously moved toward two distinct workflows.

A) Acid Techno: hardware only until the final mixdown stage
B) Psytrance: software apart from a very occasional Virus/Nord/303 lead

After 12 hours behind a computer each day a hardware only simple acid session is most welcome.

The headfk of Psytrance only happens at the weekend.

EDIT: You make EDM if I'm not mistaken. You're not gonna get those levels of loudness without software man.

My gear list is pretty short but Im out of space.

Analog: Roland RS-09, Jx3p, Jx8p
Modelled: Roland TR-8, JP-08
Midi:StudioLogic VMK-161 fully weighted
Samplers:Roland S-550, Emu SP-1200
Interface: Apollo 8
Mixer: Mackie Pro8fxv2

What do I want:
I would like to swap the S-550 for an S-950 or S-1000, or maybe even an S-5/6000.
Seeing as how I feel there is an SP-1200 bubble on ebay right now(Prices are cresting the 5 grand mark) I am tempted to sell it and fund some more gear.
a PG-800 for the Jx8p
maybe an ASR10 rack.
Some better mics
new drum heads for my kit, and new hardware(kick pedal, hi hat stand)
a nice playing short scale bass.

Got a lot of software synths (als due to NFRs for testing etc.) and use software very often but still got this hardware:

Virtual Analog:
- Waldorf Blofeld desktop (+ SL/Sample expansion)
- Novation UltraNova
- Waldorf Streichfett String synth (fully DSP based)

Real Analog:
- Waldorf Pulse 2
- Novation Bass Station 2

Hybrid (digital Oscs with real analog filters):
- Korg DW-8000 (8 Korg NJM2069 VCF/VCA chips)
- Ensoniq ESQ-1 (8 CEM3379 VCF/VCA chips) ; OS 3.53 ; with 320 patches ROM cartridge

Rompler/Workstation or Multi/Misc:
- Yamaha Motif ES 7 (with 512 MB volatile Sample RAM)
- Korg Wavestation EX (with RAM card for another user bank)

Midi Controllers:
- Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S61 controller keyboard (61 keys semi-weighted Fatar keybed with velocity + aftertouch)
- E-Mu X-Midi 1x1 (MIDI to USB interface)

At the moment i feel that with those and the tons of software i got really enough to play with.
Actually i will maybe even sell 1 or 2 of the hardware synths (not the UltraNova and Waldorf stuff).

I'm mostly working with hardware these days. I hope to bring my large mixer and hard disk recorder out of storage soon (I've been saying that for like 8 years now :lol:). I do still use some softsynths and effect plug-ins but I have separate computers. One for recording/sequencing and the other for hosting plugins.
In terms of software, I'm mostly using U-he's Bazille and Zebrify, NI's Guitar Rig and Reaktor, AAS's Chromaphone 2 and Madrona's Aalto but I'll through some Audio Damage effects in there as well.

In regards to stuff I want... more space! :lol:
I'm really interested in the Mordor NF-1. I also want a nice dual channel parametric EQ.

I'm mostly focused on building stuff at the moment. Once I finish with my DIY Eurorack projects, I plan to build a Neve channel clone and an SSL bus comp clone.
