Diki,

The Fairlight's are a mainstay for me and have been since the 1980's. No other sampler I have ever used sounds as good even to this day. It's frightening to think what they cost back then but they have paid for themselves over the years. FYI... My first Fairlight CMI III cost me more than my first home did!

The Jupiter 8 is an amazing synth and by far my favorite Roland synthesizer. I also had several Jupiter 6's but they sounded nothing like the Jupiter 8 which is much more organic with lots of bottom end. The MKS80 which I also had was supposed to be a JP8 in a rack but it wasn't even close in sound. Still not a bad synthesizer though.

The Rhodes Chroma (not the Polaris) is also an amazing synthesizer and not many people have seen or heard one. Mine is one of the very early versions actually made by ARP.

The Memorymoog is another personal favorite of mine and by far one if not the fattest sounding synthesizers ever made. Nearly every synth sounds anemic next to the Memorymoog. In a mix the Moog can easily overpower things if you don't control it.

Sadly I don't play as much as I used to and much of my gear is being used by a close friend as I don't have the time or inclination I once had to record.
