I have a Roland Juno 106 (recently acquired) which is currenrly hooked up to the soundcard, a Korg Poly 800, DX7 (under the bed!) and an Ensoniq ESQ-1 which I've been meaning to hook up for a while and grab samples from since it seems to produce some unusual digital textures (got that for a steal off ebay, battery is about to go and the polyphony seems nonexistant..but other than that it works)
What does everybody else have?
Hardware Synthesizers...what do you have?

korg prophecy, and a Yamaha a3k.
I was forced to sell my Jv1080 and BassStation when I moved to the US. I was gutted, which is ironic because thanks to VSTis the sampler just sits looking cool in my rack, and the pro is just a glorified control synth.

A funky little Nord Micro-Modular, a Yamaha A3000 (a sampler I know, but with lots of synthesis capabilities) and a Jen SX1000 which rarely gets turned on..
Not much!

do you know of anywhere that still sells decent libraries for the a3k? I'd like to turn it into a dedicated piano or string machine or some such....platinumears wrote:a Yamaha A3000

I don't even have a scsi cd-rom any more.. I used to be able to use the SCSI CD writer in my PC across the SCSI link (although it was a bitty clunky at times) but since my zip drive died (
) I don't even have the right SCSI cable, and I'm currently limited to the stuff on the internal HD.. 
tbh, I've never really bought libraries much, I'm one of those masochistic people that likes to make their own..

Ensoniq VFX and TS-10.
Roland JV880
Oberheim Matrix 1000.
Yamaha RM50 percussion module.
I don't think the audio outs of the RM50 are even connected to anything anymore since I got DR008 and some sonic reality drum samples! But it's little midi light flashes every time I play a note...
Ugh, I gotta get that on ebay, fast!

wow, your story is almost exactly the same as mine.platinumears wrote:I don't even have a scsi cd-rom any more.. I used to be able to use the SCSI CD writer in my PC across the SCSI link (although it was a bitty clunky at times) but since my zip drive died (
In my case the scsi cd writer died, so I pulled the zip drive.

Ironic...I had the same problem geographically reversed ! When I moved from the US back to Australia I had to sell my CZ 101 and my DJX (which seemed cool at the time)....I was forced to sell my Jv1080 and BassStation when I moved to the US. I was gutted

Prophet 5, prophet 600, Mks 70+pg800, juno 60,
basstation rack , waldorf micro q, PPg 2.3 v6+prk fd
+ waveterm B, roland xp50 , ensoniq asr 10.
I still have a lot of hardware , ive owned about
every vintage synth (around 180 of them seriously,
analogs were cheap when everyone wanted digital in 1985) on the planet in the last 18 years, but the ones above are the ones that stay.
And vsti's can't replace the real ones, i still feel
that the vsti versions of existing hardware analogs
try to make use of the originals fame)
The best tip i can give is , get a mks70, so much synth for 200 bucks!

Nova IIX . No room, budget or need for anything else; I decided when I bought it not to chase an imaginary ideal. It may not be the best synth ever made, but it's flexible, reliable, sounds good and suits me.
