how much is that lot worth?

 

ha! more than i'd care to tell the missus. whenver something arrives i'im like 'oh, that? yeah, that's just a loaner from my mate'.

 

her student loan has come in handy a few times though...

Thing is, if you ever need the money you're laughing 'cos pretty much all of those synths tend to appreciate...

Think about every time you buy Cubase or Ableton Live - Every year or two that's another £500 disappeared into the ether...

On the other hand, every year there's more Prophet 5's and Jupiter 6's ending up with synth collectors or in museums - and every year the price seems to steadily creep up... I'm suprised the SH-5 hasn't crept up with them - You can now pick them up over here about the same as an MS-20 - Which is quite insane if you ask me...

update

my new studio consists of

oxygen 8 midi in to computer , computer running ableton live , midi out to yamaha rm1x audio out to mixer

this new setup is the best thing that's happened to me creatively in years

i just love how easy it is to sequence and jam in live and using just midi it takes up almost 0 cpu on my old desktop computer

best thing evar

i promise you will hear music from me in the future,

expect big things from "the indie punk"

^ that's me

anyway

cheerio

i will start off by telling you all that i own and regularly use a Yamaha DJX and i am totally unashamed of this. if you think thats lame well you can suck my rectum.

tascam digital 8trk with cd burner. god bless this heavenly beast.

old Boss DR202 drum machine. dr groove or something. that thing is pretty useful.

korg guitar effects pedal. owns balls lunch meat.

ibanez chorus flanger pedal.

guitar. fender knock off.

Reason for CPU as well as ACID. what versions i do not know.

i also use a microkorg but i don't own that.

recently i've been mainly dealing with this stuff:

 

Hardware:

• Korg Triton (creative process/main production synth)
   
   
  
• Ensoniq Mirage (huge 60's sampler keyboard)
   
   
  
• Yamaha FX500
   
   
  
• Tascam 4trk tape deck (messy ass distortion/recording ideas)
   
   
  
• Photo-Theremin
   
   
  
• Magnus Major air organ
  

Software:

• Wavelab (recording/mastering/sequencing)
   
   
  
• Reason 2.5 (fx/filters)
  

man, i cannot wait to create the most awesome things together!!! we will be jamming almost constantly i am sure.

  yekker said:

jam in live

This is so true. Utterly one of the best things ever. My mate who's actually good at playing the keyboard can take over synth duties whilst I beatmash and record the whole lot whilst we get stoned in my room. Proper jamming, with software. Love it so much.

edit: Incidentally my "studio" consists of a Novation K-station, Ableton, an edirol UA-25 interface (rock solid and fucking lovely) and a scattering of VSTs. And sometimes FL5 when I'm collaberating with some of my mates who use it

More pics people.

those can be pretty helpful since i can't sequence on that thing. that is the fabled YAMAHA DJX. i have had that thing for over 7 years now and it still works!!! probably because i feed it goats blood and on fridays the blood of a cursed obsidian chicken.
