 | Hardware only please. Software doesn't count. Don't post "I make all my music on my laptop/PC/Mac" either. I have all
 the softsynths too, but it's just not the same with Kazaa
 around and whatnot. They're not eh you know, worth their
 weight in gold exactly.
 
 What HW synths do you own? Is there one you'd never sell in
 a million years?
 
 I have 6 synths and one sampler. The one I wouldn't sell is
 this old Roland SH-5 I bought in oct 96. If you look it up
 on image google, you'll see it looks like something out of
 Dr Who. It doesn't sound incredible, but the filters are
 nice. 18dB VCF and one separate bandpass filter. It's nice
 to run stuff thru it and the looks alone inspire me to mess
 about.

 | i have: 
 roland jupiter4
 roland alpha juno II
 roland SH-32
 novation A-station
 korg EA-1
 
 the two i would never get rid of are deffinately the newer
 ones. the a station, and the SH-32. ive had the A station
 since it came out, and am still finding new things out about
 it.
 
 the SH-32 ive only had for about 6 months, and to be honest,
 i havent really done anything with it. in fact, i havent
 written a song in about 12 mnths. but, when i get the time,
 this synth will be the centre piece. IT IS FAT!

 | I have a roland mc303 but its broke. the synth sounds are shite in general. the strings are alright though and it has
 a good sweeping filter. also the arpeggiator is nice for old
 skool basslines.

 | I got a Roland rs-5 - nice feeling keyboard, velocity sensitive, not weighted though and no aftertouch. Very nice
 piano, electric piano, brass and string patches, plus some
 vintage synth tones. Sucky organ patches. Lots of nice
 effects. The patches can be edited but you're stuck with the
 basic waveforms.
 
 I use it as a controller and GM tone bank.
 
 That combined with my Doepfer pocket controller and an
 armada of VSTis and Fruity generators, is more than I can
 get tired of.
 
 Someday I'd like an old Juno and maybe a Nord.

 | I wonder what the new Clavia G2 will be like, the new modular. I read on their website it's possible to just buy
 the engine and edit it through your computer. The keys
 version looks nice too.

 | i've got a korg er-1 and a yamaha dx100. as far as samplers go i've got a casio sk-5.
 
 i know u said don't mention software, but i run LSDj on my
 gameboy and the hardware in a gameboy is actually some
 powerful synth/sampler shit.
 
 it's like having 4 monophoic instruments to control in a
 tracker enviornment (two square wave synths, a channel for
 sampling and software synthesis, and a noise synth).
 
 my gameboy is small, it's worth way more than it's weight in
 gold.

 | Roland Juno 106 Roland MC202
 Roland JX-3P
 Korg Wavestation A/D
 Roland XV3080
 (hopefully adding an Analogue Systems modular with custom
 EMS Synthi filters soon)
 
 Hmmm... The two I would NEVER sell are the Juno 106 (which I
 use on everything I do), and the Wavestation, which is a
 totally unique synth, sounds so much smoother and has so
 much more presense than any other digital/software
 synth/module I've ever used.
 I'd really like to get an EMS Synthi (although they're a bit
 overpriced at the moment)...
 
 Paco: I'm a big fan of the SH-5 myself! Almost bought one a
 little while ago on ebay.

 | The two synths I most regret selling are my old Korg MS-20 and TB303 (which I picked up for £50) - I made a massive
 profit on both of them, but they've left a big hole in my
 studio...

 | sorry to drag this off topic between spacecadet and me ... but:
 
 if you're considering getting any software for the gameboy i
 would suggest LSDj over NANOLOOP a thousand times over.
 
 LSDj is more of a total workstation for programing sounds,
 effects, and songs ... you have tight control of the
 gameboy's sound hardware.
 
 NANOLOOP is just a loop making tool with poor control over
 sound chip parameters and you're probobly better off with a
 gameboy camera!
