gotta do what you gotta do.

and the purpose of this thread is????????

I thought it was interesting, remembering how our equipment evolved into what we use today. Much more fun than watching people argue.
Apparently several other folks thought so also.
Merry Christmas!

OK gang it really is time to start a MIA group (Musical Instruments Anonymous.) I need the most help of all because I can’t play for a hill of beans but still enjoy playing.

Best post so far has to go to brmoore, Bruce that was over the top LMAO

One gets the Feeling that Fran is a Roland fan and our good friend Dave M has one of everything.

Just a note to ianmcnll that Yamaha D-85 three manual Electone organ with two tone cabinets wasn’t a B3 but sure could make some great music in the right hands. We had hooked up a Leslies to one of the Yamahas of that era and what a night & day difference that brought out.

Over the years my studio setup has changed but here's a list of the gear I've had, and currently have. I know I'm forgetting a bunch but my memory isn't as good as it once was. If there ever was an MIA (Musical Instruments Anonymous) group, I'm sure I'd need to join! The frightening part is that this list doesn't include any of my studio or outboard gear.

Of all these keyboards, modules, drum machines, and synthesizers the Akai, Moog, Oberheim, Roland, Sequential, and Fairlights are my favorites. My favorite arranger is my Wersi Abacus Duo Pro followed by the Mediastation X-76. Yamaha's have been my least favorite overall with the exception of the CS-01 which I quite liked for its size and analog sound achieved from such a tiny keyboard.

Wow !!!!!!

There's a new Musical Toys Sherrif in town

Ensnareyou

I Think you will be the knock out champ I'm jealous!!!!!! I think I need to go to a meeting right now.

Jerry,

My friends not a Synthzone member but if he was, I'd be the Deputy as he has me beat!

I've pared my setup down, so much of what I listed above I've sold or traded. If I could only keep a handful of the gear I'd keep the Fairlights, Wersi Abacus, Mediastaton X-76, Korg Oasys, Sequential VS's & Studio 440, Moog Memorymoog, and OB-Xa.

I'm a major gear whore in recovery. I'm not sure if I can be cured of the disease though.
