Like DonM and Dave...hands down...what I own now is my favorite set up...For me you can't beat the Roland G70 and what it offers..a complete package..

If we are talking about yesteryear...I had a couple favorites..


Roland JX10 midied to a Yamaha TX81z (Tine piano), and Yamaha RX120 drum machine..

Another favorite set up..Roland D70, Alesis SR16 drum machine and Roland SH101 (bass)..

One problem I had to transpose (play different keys)..since there were no transpose feature..(till we used Pocket transpose midi device by Anetek)..

My one standard I never changed was my Roland Cubes...still my favorite sound system..

We always needed to use the Roland 2500 delay and rv2000 reverb..later replacing them with Boss se50 (still have it)..

My Ketron X-1.

I'm fairly new to Keyboards having converted from Tenor Sax to Keyboards in 2008. So What I have now is my favorite by default:

Tyros 3 and Motif XF6 with the Motif MIDI out to the T3 and it being the controlling keybed.

Still using my favorite 4-6 times a month. A B-3 with a Roland SH-1 on top...a Suitcase Rhodes on my right hand, with One of two digital pianos on the top.I use 2 147 RV's for power.

When I'm out on one-nighters, I use a Hammond XB 2 on the bottom the same SH-1 on top and a Yamaha digital on my right hand. I use a Motion sound Top box and a JazzKat PhatCat for amplification with a small 4 channel mixer.


The heavy stuff stays at the country club I use it at, and there is a retired preacher who sets it all up for me.

My favorite of them all was, the GEM WK8 which was the Rolce Royce of the GEM line until the Genesys came out and I still have the keyboard but I can't find a simple small part to get it to work again, although I had them all and they were all unique in some way, especially the ones that made History like the DX7,D50 and M1.

They've ALL been my favorites..! I never went through them so quick I didn't have time to master them, and they all, for their day, could sound as good as anything on record for the time.

From Rhodes/CP30/B3/Clavinet/Odyssey rigs, to monster 80's rigs with 2 Mirage's/ESQ-1/SQ2/DX7/OBXpander and modules a-plenty, to today's mere G70, I have loved them all. And wouldn't go back to any of them (unless someone else does the cartage!), but wouldn't be lost if I had to!

No regrets...

... cue music from Garth "Looking back ... on the memory of ..." ... one setup I enjoyed when we had the band in NY was the Fender Rhodes with the Cordovox on top for the wide variety of sounds it produced - especially the organ sounds - ...

Very cool setup Tony. now for a trivia question. Who used the Cordovox on their top 40 hits? There's only one group I can think of. My cousin had one with a small Leslie-wow for the time it was a great portable organ. I had a Farfisa and it didn't sound near as good.

Bill ... your question sent me 'google-ing' and I found some interesting stuff:
