Members Petercee Posted September 25, 2016 Members Share Posted September 25, 2016 Most of what I ever owned I still own.. But starting way back in the 1970's the first synth I bought was a Korg Micro Preset. followed by a Crummar Performer string synth. Much overlooked, but it had a great string synth section even if the brass is rubbish. I used it through a few effects pedals and got loads of extra sounds out of it. and it was polyphonic. The next synth I bought was a Minimoog. which was awesome. the only problem being that it went wrong a couple of times and was expensive to fix so unfortunately I got rid of it. in light of the resurgence I wish i still had it. The next instrument that followed was a GEM Equinox. a very competent keyboard with arpeggiator and piano section. and one of the very few digital synths that you could programme. I bought a Microkorg in 2000 or there about which is also a brilliantly versatile instrument. I yearned after a Nord stage ex but at the time could not afford it so went for a Nord stage 73 compact which served a purpose for a while but I still wanted the full 88 keys and had the chance to get an EX88 soon after. this was by far one of the best piano/synths I ever bought and I loved it from the moment i got it. then I had a chance to get a roland JP8000 which served as my main synth for a long time. I was offered a chance to buy an Alesis A6 Andromeda which i too up as it had been freshly serviced by an engineer in Glasgow. Scotland. it came in a flight case otherwise I wouldn't have bought it as it cost me an arm and a leg. its devilishly difficult to work out and although i still have it. its the next one in line I may consider selling to fund a move to the USA soon. The next choice I had was a new Nord stage 2 which took over the duties of my EX to a degree but i tend to use the EX as the main piano instrument and the stage 2 for everything else. the last in the line up was a Nord Lead 2 which as by this time and old instrument as the Lead 4 was out. but i preferred the simpleness of the lead 2. the last instrument i own which is only a synth in part is a Roland TD20X which is my electronic drum set. I mention this set as it has a lot of preset programmed sounds in it and also some synth instruments so when i trigger them off it plays and accompaniment to my drumming. the plus side is the neighbours don't get to hear a thing no matter what I'm trying to record. any of them can be used on stage. the keyboards usually mounted on 2 Koenig and Meyer Spiders which can hold 2 each and one of them has the tablet holder attached. plus a larger A frame in aluminium finish which is very very stable no matter what. and i have be known to have a balance issue so being able to grab hold of the A frame is a bonus. this also holds 2. together with the legs expecialy for the EX and one X framed keyboard stand i could have up to 8 on stage at any time. whether i would ever use all of them is open to question though. the only one mentioned i no longer own is the Minimoog.

Members Trevor911 Posted October 17, 2016 Members Share Posted October 17, 2016 P.S. - Borrowed my piano teacher's Arp Omni-I once, too. One of my greatest regrets - my school music teacher had EMS 'suitcase' synth - and I never bothered to play it even ONCE. Fool me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr.Grumpy Posted October 20, 2016 Members Share Posted October 20, 2016 Casio VL-tone Casio SK-1 Casio MT-40 Yamaha CS-01 Yamaha PSR-300 (I think) Wurlitzer 7300 compact combo organ Wurlitzer 140 electric piano Korg CX-3 organ Roland JX-305 - and - Roland Sound Canvas sound card (not supported in Windows since WinXP ) Moog Satellite (a loaner, but played it on a garage record) I still own all of these except the Moog Satellite and the Casio SK-1 sampler. I'm a multi-instrumentalist, and not really trained on keyboard. I was in a couple of bands in the early 90s where I played both ORGAN and guitar. Both bands were sort of 60s styled garage psychedelic. I wanted a Farfisa, but had to settle for the Wurlitzer, which actually worked out fine in that context. When I found a beat-to-heck Korg CX-3 for less than a hundred bucks, I jumped on it and it also worked out great, especially for my second band which had a more hard rock/prog flavor of garage going. Years later, I bought the Roland JX-305 'Groovesynth' to collaborate on a techno music project, we recorded a few rough demos and then it went down the tubes. About five years ago, I played bass in a country band, and for the last 3 years I've been playing in a punk-styled loud rock combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Crazyfoo Posted January 3, 2017 Members Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'll see how well my memory works, we have to go back a long time! It all started at the tender age of 11.Dad brought home a 1937 Weber upright piano and forced me to take classical lessons. I tried to quit after 3 months because it sucked. What kid wants to practice scales all day? I had a nasty old Russian piano teacher that would smack my hand with a ruler if I made a mistake.Lucky for me pops threated to beat me if I quit so I stuck with it. First attempt at sound design was when I was 12 years old, I placed tacks inside the back of all the hammers so when the tack struck the string it sounded like a harpsichord. Fender Rhodes when I was 1213 got a Roland SH-5 from a pawn shop for $400then the madness started:Yamaha SK-30Yamaha CS-60Korg EPS-1 (my first piano and string machine, was way cool back then.Ensoniq ESQ-1, loved this thingOberheim OBX-a (was such a dumbass for selling it, had MIDI too)Roland D-50Roland JX-3PMEnsoniq MirageRoland JX-8P and the programmer thingy that went with it, something 1000Korg Poly 800Korg 01W-FDKorg RK-100Krg M1-----I cant believe I thought this was badass back thenYamaha DX-7Yamaha DX-9Yamaha DX-21Dave Smith Poly EvolverMoog Little Phatty stage 1Roland Jupiter 80 --> Hated the interface and sold it not long after I got it.-------------Current Rig:Korg Oasys 88Kurzweil PC3xMoog VoyagerMoog Little Phatty Stage 2Korg Radias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NonDairy Posted January 16, 2017 Members Share Posted January 16, 2017 Well, my mom always had a baby grand in the living room when I was growing up (still does), but I can't really say I owned it even when I lived there. So: Casio PT-20Yamaha DX-27SYamaha SY22 (technically my brother's, but...)Alesis QS7Roland Juno StageCasio CTK-7200Roland Juno Di (as a practice keyboard since the patches are nearly identical to the Stage) I still use the Stage when I play in my band, but I'm getting tired of its limitations, so I'm looking for something new. Gonna start a thread about that, actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members motownrocker Posted January 30, 2017 Members Share Posted January 30, 2017 I did. I was always in search of the elusive Hammond B3 (and especially Leslie) in a digital, portable board (in fact I forgot to list around 4 or 5 Hammond SK and XK series boards I bought--and sold!), and during the past 6+ years, I've strayed from the PC3's, tried something else in search of improving myself, and have continued coming back to the Kurz. Most everything else was lighter and easier to gig with, and some (including the Hammonds) had a much better Hammond and Leslie effect than I could ever get out of the PC3's, but there was a trade off in the other sounds. I am currently at a decision point again, having purchased a new Kurzweil PC3a6 a week or so ago that's revealed to have issues, so I have already returned it to the retailer, and have been offered a great deal on either a replacement or a Nord Electro 5 (for $250 more). I have researched the HECK out of that Nord online (there's no retailer near me to try one out), and am 60% leaning toward doing that deal. I did purchase a Neo Vent over the weekend, which sort of muddles my decision further, since that will improve either board's organs. I think, following all of my investigations, the Nord has a better raw Hammond sound through their drawbars, but again I am not certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
