no pics just now, but I've got a Novation Bass Station II on my desk at work. I use it as my main midi controller and sound testing source.

Noice @Drew_fx - I really fancy a Bass Station

They're cracking mate. We've also got a Prophet, a Prodigy, a Juno 106, and a few other synths and keyboards knocking about too. We've got a Hartmann Neuron too, but no one knows how to use it! )

Very nice. What do you do for a living?

(On my desk at work... I've got a phone, a PC and a pile of paper.  Good times!)

That's some collection to have access to.

I want my Korg Mono-Poly back. I made a huge, huge mistake when I swapped it for a high end Yamaha drum machine. God, I was stupid back then. I would literally poke a tramp's eyes out if it would get me one.

I sit at a desk and hate the world. I don't get paid for that part of it though. *grumble grumble*

Nah... I make stuff like this:

Yeah we've got our little studio here at the office:

I'm probably gonna use some of the synths on my solo album. Why not hey!

OilCityPickups

I used to gig with one of these as well as my guitars ... love another one for old times sake

GavRichList

Moog Voyager. Juno 6. DSI Tempest.

Sassafras

Always fancied an ARP Odyssey after seeing Herbie Hancock and Stevie Wonder playing them.

Winny_Pooh

I have a Waldorf Pulse 2 monosynth on my desk. Its tiny, analog and has digital recall/control, amazing!

xmrchi

Oooh thank god for this section

Novation bass station 2
Nocation mininova for live
Roland tr 8 drum machine which also triggers a yamaha Rx 21

Yamaha s90ES and access virus ti here

This is killing me, really missing all my old gear, Korg ms10 was the last to go, needed all new capacitors (around 40 I believe) so sold it, whish I'd just done the soldering :-(
Korg prophecy, poly800, mono poly.
Jen sx1000, casino fz1 sampler( light years ahead of its time)
I could name probably a dozen more, not including all the drumboxes and "groove machines"
Quite fancy one of the new breed Roland/Korg analog mini boxes.

I've got a Microkorg which I like a lot but almost never use - one day I'll get round to a permanent set up and then it might get used a bit more.

ThorpyFX

Anyone tried the new Roland synths, they look like great value for money.

littlegreenman

M-Audio keyboard and whatever VSTi's I can find. Yep, I'm a cheapskate wannabe!

Sarge

Nothing wrong with vista's, they were the reason we moved on our hardware synth, not used one in years now but I imagine all the pc issues back in the day are a thing of the past now.

axisus

To be honest I haven't looked at synths for almost 2 decades. I bought a Korg n264 and have been pretty happy with that ever since. The one thing that I did hanker after was a Korg triton, the biggest one with full length keyboard and weighted keys.

dogload

I would love either of these.

These were the first synths I learned how to use as a teenager at a local arts workshop where you could book the sound studio for an evening for next to nothing. They are so very much imprinted on my musical taste too, with the likes of Hawkwind and Gong and Eno

I think for practical purposes I'd go for the AKS 'Briefcase', not just for portability, but because it has the rather handy sequencer built in. Annoyingly, someone I used to work with had one he'd picked out of a skip (!) but refused to sell it to me, despite the fact he didn't know what to do with it...

At the moment I have a Korg Prophecy, Korg MS2000, Microkorg XL+, Korg Monotron delay and Yamaha SY85. Don't know how I have all the Korg stuff (I used to have an MS10 at one time but had to sell it for nappies!) - it just happened! The Yamaha has been around for years and is looking like it will be for the chopping block soon.
