Guest lookie Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 What was everyones first equipment purchase? I am going to get an EMX-1 and/or an MPC500, not sure what order. I have played with software for a while but i am looking into actually purchasing something to move myself forward.

Guest hahathhat Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) korg x5d, because that's what we used in the class that got me started on this stuff i'd get the emx-1 and save up for an mpc1000 Edited June 2, 2011 by hahathhat Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/66533-your-first-serious-equipment-purchase/#findComment-1592436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hautlle Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) The first equipment I purchased was an Oxygen8v2 and a Korg PadKontrol along with a new laptop and Ableton Live. If you want actual hardware then my only purchase has been a DSI Tetra. Not sure why you think anything will "move you forward", you decide what you do with the equipment you have at hand. Buying that nice thousand dollar piece of equipment doesn't mean shit unless you can actually do something with it. Live has changed how I produce more than anything else.

Stock Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 (edited) Novation Xio Synth 49, bought it three years ago, still using it but the DC supply doesn't work anymore so I have to use it as an USB device everytime, and that's pretty annoying. Yep. Not a sequencer though.

Cryptowen Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Korg Ms-10 was the first thing I spent over $100 on. I think it changed my outlook on synth patch design a great deal, but as far as actual song production not so much (that changes on its own slowly over time whether I'm using new tools or not).

acid1 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I don't know what serious means.... Oxygen 8 was the first piece of musical gear. First "serious" equipment purchase was probably my ex-Roland V-Synth, which I only owned for about a year before selling it for my Virus.

Guest Tamas Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Definitely the MS2000B, to this day I don't think I've spent as much money on anything (hell, when I got it, I got it on a payment plan), was only about $800 though I think. The first piece of equipment I bought that I was thinking "This means serious business!" though has to have been my Fostex 8 track reel to reel with the matching mixer, ironically I didn't ever use that for a single track (moved back to Montreal less than a month after I bought it, and it's still sitting in my studio in Vancouver).

Guest mrx Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 My first music related purchase was a roland dj 1000...first synth was a alesis micron. first piece of software was either hip hop ejay or magix music maker. Shit got real serious when I bought a renoise license.

(I H8TES TEH CHORUS FX WIT A TONY BRAXTON) Roland Jazzchorus is a guitar amp, also used extensively by keyboardists. Yes, it has a chorus effect on it as well as spring reverb. Mine was the JC120 with two 12" speakers. I lugged it to rehearsal every week, even though it weighs 35kg.
