Members depulse Posted May 26, 2007 Members Share Posted May 26, 2007 Worked extra a whole summer (1986 I think) and bought a Korg Poly-800. I was in heaven. Saved up for a brand new TR-505 soon thereafter and I suddenly had "professional" sounding drums. Worked another summer and traded it all for a spanking new Roland D-50 etc ad nauseum....

Members zoink Posted May 26, 2007 Members Share Posted May 26, 2007 Korg Poly 800. Used to sit and press those two sets of parameter and value buttons for hours, making patches. The poly 800 would have been a classic if they had put knobs on it. Nice filters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members swardle Posted May 26, 2007 Members Share Posted May 26, 2007 A Casio CZ-1000. I traded it for a Juno 106, which was then stolen. The CZ-1000 was pure cheese, but I really liked the Juno 106. Wish I still had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cydonia Posted May 27, 2007 Members Share Posted May 27, 2007 And a real Compuphonic one, please. When I bought it, it was quite an experience to play four notes at the same time on a synth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members flattop Posted May 27, 2007 Members Share Posted May 27, 2007 Minimoog, purchased in the fall of 1973 for $600. The sellers wife threw it down a flight of stairs. AJP owned it for a time and it is now owned by another friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jimtheswede Posted May 27, 2007 Members Share Posted May 27, 2007 ARP Odyssey MkII purchased 1975. I couldn't decide between the Minimoog or the Ody, and couldn't play with either very much because keyboards were shown by appt. in the music store's mgr. office! Finally decided on the ARP due to the S&H, and it could 2 notes at the same time! Spent hours & hours with it, thru the night w/headphones and reel to reel , etc. exploring the sounds it could make. Those were the days!I've kept almost every piece of equipment I've had over the years but don't know if all of it works. Roughly, starting with RMI piano, then ARP, Leslie 16, Poly800, DX100, CZ101, FB-01, Korg SQ1, QS6, X5, Kurz SP76, and so on. First keyboard I had was a bright orange Farfisa Fast2 combo organ and a Vox T60 bass amp - what a cool gig rig! I was in heaven for being 12-13 yrs. old.

Members flat earth Posted May 28, 2007 Members Share Posted May 28, 2007 But just this week I bought a 700s on eBay, although it hasn't arrived yet: http://cgi.ebay.com/UNIVOX-MINI-KORG-K-2-700s-analog-synth-k2_W0QQitemZ260118280830QQihZ016QQcategoryZ64385QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemI can't wait to get it! Looking forward to the onslaught of amazing demos My 1st Synth was the Korg Poly 800. Spent alot of time programming that little board. (probably more than any other synth ive owned)Actually, i have fond memorys of painstakingly trying to program Bronski Beat sequences into its little step sequencer. Pure magic but highly frustrating, with such limited editing options. It was closely followed by an MS10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Woody4 Posted May 28, 2007 Members Share Posted May 28, 2007 Korg MS-20--1982-- $150 and proceeded to blow every speaker in the house! Of course knew nothing about it or how it worked, the patchbay was a total mystery Found the 2 filters and speaker killing rez easily:-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Real MC Posted May 28, 2007 Members Share Posted May 28, 2007 Yamaha GX-1 Actually my first synth was a PAiA modular I built. A friend in high school had a 4700 modular, when I finished HS I used the scholarship $$ I won in a piano competition to order a bunch of 4700 modules, a 61 note pratt read keyboard, and I built my own case for it. Forgot all about it when I discovered my first moog. I butchered the case long ago, and I lost the modules to last years' flood.With the PAiA I could brag that I was using a modular on stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
