The synthesizers & gear I previously owned:
Alesis Andromeda For this synthesizer, I created factory presets, but it never was fully my cup of thee. Still a great synth of course!
Korg Wavestation Great synth, and I made some very cool personal presets for it, but for me, it has been taken over by BLUE-III / Vecto / BLADE-2 software.
Korg M1 My first ROM player. Revolution at that time. Great sounds, also for synthesizer music. The choir and Panflute/Bottle sound I loved. For synthesizer music, it is too dated now.
Yamaha CS-40 Great, but I already had a MiniMoog, and oh boy what a big machine!
Akai VX600 Two of them owned... but I was impatient in the fact that it had to warm up so long. Went over using 2x Waldorf Microwave.
CRB Oberon Unlucky lost after sending in for repair. The message was, that it could not be repaired.
GEM H-6000 An organ indeed, but it also had a monophonic synthesizer built in. It has been used on the PERU Constellations album. YouTube video of this organ here
Roland TR-808 Cool device, but for creating music I prefer software (Punch-2) for having electronic drums. I don't see myself creating patterns on this machine for completing a whole song with fills and so on. For me, this is something we had to do in the 80s because there were no other options, and pattern-chaining is time-consuming that can be done using music software much easier..
Roland TR-909 Cool device, but for creating music I prefer software (Punch-2) for having electronic drums. I don't see myself creating patterns on this machine for completing a whole song with fills and so on.
