Love : My Stage EX ; Moog Multi-Moog ; Juno-106; JD800- tho' the keyboard itself need fixed all the time. Replaced the guide bushings many times. My OB8 was a killer synth. Sorry I sold it now. Really enjoyed the AStation.

Don't miss: Crumar Performer. Never worked no matter what! Korg M1 and M3. Good synths but not inspiring. Roland SH101
Would love to have: A GX1.

Hello TomS,
Welcome to the forums


I agree with all of those
perhaps not quite as much with the Korg M1 (in it's time) but today, better choices for it's sound are the 01W and M1ex.

That Multimoog was cool, made doubly so by Steve Winwood's excellent leads on the Arc of a Diver album.
My Multimoog is what's setting on the Rhodes in the "Detectives" picture a couple of post ago.

Novation makes a great VA synth, I've had a couple of Novas, and SuperNovas, but never owned an AStation.

I had a Crumar Performer for about a week, then took it back to the music store and traded up to an ARP Omni.

Today my rig is quite parred down, and full of old outcasts.
It consists of:
Kurzweil K250 (main MIDI keyboard)
Roland D-50, D-70, XV-5050
Yamaha Motif Rack with PLG150-DX (DX-7 expansion board)
Korg 01R/W, Wavestation SR
Ensoniq MR Rack.
Apple Mainstage on 15" MBP
Hammond M3

Cheers, Hanon

Most loved... The NS 2 of course. I love her..her name is Nora. My wife is not jealous (yet). Have several boards laying around. I still like my old Korg T3 and the Wavestation. Tired of the the Roland D70. Miss my Juno 60... fun little synth..

Least favorite. My DX7 ( with E!).. I always thought that was funny, like a Monty Python skit.. Knights who say, "Ni." My guitar players would ask, "Where is your DX7 with Ni?" Anyway, battery is dead.. too much trouble to replace it and not missing it at all anyway. I will use it for wall art.

Love the Kurzweil VAST....and many really cool synths for Ios/Ipad, like the Animoog and the Tnr-i...the software synts have made me less likely to buy another hardware synth...

Love the motif es so much that I bought the motif es6, s90es and motif es rack. Also I do not use it anymore but I still got my Roland A-70...This controller can control everything with 4 physical midi out and two midi in...wish I have bouhght instead the A90 but at that time, I did not like playing with weighted boards.
