Well I certainly wouldn't consider spending £3,000+ on Waves plug-ins! It's extortionate. For that money I could buy an amazing piece of outboard - Let alone the depreciation issues.
I did buy Renoise legit 'cos they're such a nice bunch of ppl behind it and it's truely worth every penny of the asking price.
I regret buying Logic legit - emagic are a horrible corporation from experiences friends have had - Rarely use Logic these days anyway.

I sold my analog synths because they were basiclly there for one purpose. SHOWING OFF.
When I applied them to song it usally was shit. My style is so off the deep end that I really need to sequence parts first.
There is no way Im playing a 180BPM bassline with my fingers lol.
Anolog synths are cool for jamming with buddies but for the most part are just cock size when it comes to usefulness.
Thats just my strong opinion though : | An MS2000 can run circles around any vintage synth in my humble opinion.
I had a korg ms-20 for a while, it was really cool but soon lost its novelty.

wow I'm suprised you think that! I find analog synths take a lot more work - like you need months with a Juno or a Pro One to really get anything really useful out of it - But I'd rate my analog synths as the most important things I own by a long way..
I've had a Nord Lead, Prophecy and Nova in the past, and I really haven't found much use for them - I guess it depends on what music you're writing though.
It took me literally about 3 years to realise how useful the Juno was and now it gets used on everything - I had an MS20 for a while but that synth takes some serious work and is really best if you've got the Korg analog sequencer too - trk3 on ICBYD was done on an MS20 (the mad noise loop) - They've got so much mix presense you only need to add a simple string part and you've got a finished track - That's what I love about analogue!

Next on my list of buys are:
AKAI Z8 sampler (to go with the S5000 i already have)
Korg MS20 (proper old analogue)
Need to get some more outboard fx, seen a nice lexicon unit fairly cheaply.
And possibly?? wavestation? and/or sh101?
And also I do electronic stuff myself. At the moment I'm designing an additive synth, similar( in operating theory to a hammond). I also make fx, like distortion and things. In about a years time, if I have the time, I will have a rack full of my own home made gear! And this isnt hype like the afx gear, but real stuff:) Perhaps if any units are good I will build a few and sell them...I may even let some lucky xltronic person win one. But more than likely I wont have time or be in the pub instead of soldering:)

Home made pedals are awesome. My buddy is an aviation electrician, he is the Shinobi of pedals for sure.
We just print out the schimatics of stuff we want and he will build it for us : )
I'll stick to cicuit bending for now though, it looks fucking hard making stuff from scratch lol

Hey, do you know where I can find schematics for circuit bending/modifying my TR-505? I know, kinda takes out the point of CB, but I just want to glitch it up, not destroy it.

Yamaha CS-01 Roland XP-30 Casio CZ-101 Boss SP-303 Yamaha DJX II 12 Channel mixer A few old effects pedals
I have a 2.4 GHz computer that has yet to be built as we have had problems with the motherboard. Along with that we bought the Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum eX soundcard with the newest speaker system (Inspire 6.1) from Creative. I also have a Pentium 2 laptop running the newest version of Acid (4) and FL 3.5.4 (or something)
Software is whatever people recomend, ripped or free software floating around the net.
I used to have an SH-101, it was beautiful :(

My friend played me something he did on one of these cheap old Yamaha PSR keyboards and a shitty old 4-track tape machine... One of the best things I've heard in years! Actually blew me away!! I'm gonna blag him to do me a copy of his tunes tonight hopefully!
There's a lot to be said for working with minimal equipment that's for sure - Especially just a keyboard and tape machine - There's just nothing getting in the way of your ideas... Oddly the overloaded tape sound took the "home keyboard" sound totally away from the PSR keyboard.

I'd love an SH101 - Already got an MC202 so can't really justify it - But the 202's a little too fiddly for my liking.
Sequencer is too in depth and not spontaneous enough.

The 202 sequencer is a pain in the ass :) I had to call Roland Scandinavia and order a manual. The 101 and 202 are identical soundwise, except the 101 has a noise source. I don't use mine that much anymore after I got a CV-MIDI box for my SH-5.

I've always wanted an SH5! A friend of mine down the road bought one recently - It is an absolutely insane machine! Love the styling and feel of it too.
Do you know how straight forward the SH101 sequencer is? I loved programming the 303 so much - It was my baby :`(

I saw Eat Static's (Ozric Tentacles) SH-5 in Future Music and I thought I gotta have one! A year later I found a dealer here in town. It's so old now, but mine is in excellent condition. The whole idea of how synthesizers should be was so different back in the 70's. This one's built into a carry case. You remove half of the case and the other half is stuck around the back of the synth.
I've never used the 101 sequencer. I think it's more straight forward than the 202. It doesn't have a display so I hope it is, not that the 202 display is a life saver :)
