    I really want

    a

    Sequential Circuits Prophet 5.

    I had a pro-one which was a beast but I needed money and I sold it for 500 more than I paid for it so you do the math. I'd also like another pro-one

    also

    an arp oddessy or an arp 2600 would be nice.

    I had a Prophet 5 for a year - it's a classic synth, but it never really rubbed me the right way & I passed it on. It's more elegant than dirty.

    2600 is the truth.

    I own an SP-12, but in all reality I don't use it very much...
    I do, however get alot of work out of my Oberheim Xpander & my Korg Polysix...
    Also, use an IKE Baldwin (similar to an ASR) on occasion & own an Oberheim DMX which I don't really use at all...
    On my wish list is fender rhodes bass piano (as used by Ray Manzarek), & a OG Mini- Moog...

    I'd really like to know which machine flash used, it sounds like an early analog, programmable machine, perhaps a boss dr-55 or a acetone or something.
    This is a korg r-55 with the "flash it to the beat" beat, through some compression, eq-ing and bit-reduction: flash it to this beat

    Damn, I almost forgot, I got a ELI-3030 analog echo box. I got it from a friend who himself got it from a friend who used to dj in nyc back in the days and he told my friend that cowboy used this same box a couple of times. I don't know if this is true but I hope

    -Yamaha DX-7.


    Used this lot in college and awful sounding and a bad interface IMO



    -SP-12.


    Had one of these a few years ago

    but sold it as it crashed all the time and the 1541 disk drive took forever to load...Bought an MPC2000xl with the cash which I never liked so sold that to buy my sp1200
  • fredfadesfredfades 584 Posts
    i have a sp1200, a mpc2000xl, a sp303, a nord lead synth, a casio kiddy keyboard & a mc303 (wack shh im borrowing from my cousin).. im looking for a micro moog or moog rogue.. and i want one of these old echophlex machines.

    This is the only pic i could find of my humble setup. Im copping a macbook pro soon but holding off buying anything else as im still trying to wrap my head around my mpc2000.

    I've got a Space Echo (201). Like Stein said, you don't have to kill. Mine is super nice and functional and it probably cost me about $340 including shipping. Maybe I lucked out.

    I also have a Casio RZ-1
    I started making beats on an Ensoniq EPS and I wouldn't mind getting one again. I probably wouldn't use it that much, but I would like to play around with it again.
    The rest of the equipment is not so old school. I'm not really rocking any super new school stuff, but I don't think an MPC2000 counts as old school.
    I had an MPC 60 for about 2 weeks, but it was broken, so it had to go back.

    No offence man, but you've got some lovely gear running through terribly placed speakers right there. Don't you find it difficult to judge your mixes properly?
  • BeatsoupBeatsoup 511 Posts
    - Fender amp twin reverb 70's
    - a 60/70's era strat
    - Rhodes 73
    - minimoog D
    - moogerfooger lowpass
    - AT3030 mic or something similar
    - UA solo preamp
    - Rocket 8 monitors
    - nice rack mount gear, reverb compression delay (all too expensive)
    - legal ownership of alot of plugins

    I can't afford any of this stuff...it will probably be quite a few years before I get half of it.

    fave thing i own is a toss up between a Univox MiniKorg synth (think: The Cars: its that one), a Wurlitzer 200A and a Ludwig drum kit (mismatched early 70's including a vistalite snare and 50's gretch rack toms)

    wish i had:

    roland jupiter 8
    hammond b-3 (or c-3) complete with bass footpedals and rotating leslie speaker cabinet

    I just recently copped this bad boy:



    Shit is the truth. Waveform display, 8 outs, built in synth. This sampler got seriously slept on because of Casio's rep, but they actually used to put out some good gear.


    And just bought this on the analog tip:






    Eventually I want to cop:

    Rhodes 73
    Wurlitzer 200a
    Hammond B3
    Clavinet

    Or maybe I'll say fuck it and just get a Nord Electro.


    Wouldn't mind an MPC 60 and an SP 1200. But for now I'm enjoying the crunchiness of the FZ.

    I just sold my Jupiter 8 because in my opinion it is not worth the money. I bought mine for $1200 in 2006, and sold it for $3800. It's a beast in unison mode, don't get me wrong. Nut you really can create the same sound by multisampling. Save your money for a nice mic pre.

    - moogerfooger lowpass

    Just started using this with an echoplex + some extra bleeps from a vintage reggae siren

    It was killing the afro disco set last night

    so hungover...
