In my setup at the moment:

MacBook pro
Tascam 424mkII
Electribe esx
Axiom 25

I keep selling my SP's and regretting it instantly.

dude sell ur macbook and buy them back!

I still don't have a powercord for the juno, but i remember it had nice bass and a "programmable chord" feature where you could assign full chords to single keys (awesome)

the korg is a rack module. very easy to program your own sounds and programs, 8-channels with really good fx. it was my first midi piece back in 1997. listen to any old ruff ryders stuff and that's what it sounds like haha. i swear swizz beats was the laziest producer ever. back in the day i thought it had the most realistic grand piano i've ever heard.... now, not so much.

Kaossilator routed through a monotron to give a bit more grit.

They are routed into the 404 where i make the the main part of the beat.
They are then routed through an old studiomaster 6-2-1 desk.

My microkorg and turntable are also routed through this and then the main output from the desk is sent to sp 808 for mixing eq and comp.

The old studiomaster was a steal at only 40 quid:)
You can redline the shit out of it without worrying about breaking something and if it does it can be fixed:)
( better than pushing a 404 into the red and having to buy a new one)

After the track is done i bounce to the 404 to add the little efx if the track demands it and then bounce to nuendo and add a limiter to boost the overall level so that it has a chance of being heard:)

Currently using:
-Roland SP-606
-Korg Electribe SX1
-Roland SH-32
-Analogue Solutions Europa
-Korg KP3
-Soundcraft Notepad
-ESI Keycontrol 49
-Boss BR600
-Reason 5
-Korg Nanokontrol 2 & Nanopad 2
-Recycle 2
-Audacity
-Sennheiser HD518
-fucking shitloads of cables. This is the only thing that's stopped my gear from being stolen, all the cords are so knotted up that they're pretty much a security system now.

This is the simplest my set up's been in a while. Got plenty of unused/retired gear like:
-several Boss pedals (main ones SL-20, DD-6, ODB-3)
-a couple of bass guitars (too lazy to practice now, GF has replaced 'practice time' with 'quality time')
-Roland Cube-100 Bass
-Roland KC-110
-Boss DR-3
-MPC500
-Yamaha MG166 (thanks again to An Owl for swapping mixers with me!)
-Yamaha DX200
-another SP-606 (mainly as a back up to my first one)


Niiice, how'd you score a new one? They were made about 10 years ago... But sold really badly.

i want some new keysssss

too big?

I just wanna reach in that picture, grab everything and run for the hills.

@ella - do all the kaosspads have different sounds?

@culp - how do you like the microkorg XL?

the kp2 has the best sound, the kp3 is ok, more "clean", the mkp is just "cool" (i tend to use it just for live, i payed it not cheap:i retourned to a shop a broken machine, so they proposed me the mkp+money).

cool thanks! I always have fun messing with the kp3 when I go to guitar center but haven't tried the others.
