    @bigjon rock n roll! You know how to play that!

    all I have is an old Korg n264. I'd rather like a bunch of synths but space and money don't allow it

    Rather than start a new thread, this arrived recently. Love Nova/Supernovas, anyone else into the older Novation synths?

    Almost finished The Big Revamp (spot the £85 Argos dining table!). This is the first time I've ever had everything setup and connected instead of plug/unplug hassle.

    At the moment, it's mostly the synths, with the guitar recording stuff to go in the rack under the TVS Pro on the left.



    Apologies for the poor 'shopping skillz on (almost) stitching the 3 photos together.

    I'm getting back into hardware synths, after a few years of using plugins.

    I've got a Korg Prophecy and Moog Sub 37 at the moment, as well as a few midi controllers and a stage piano.


    I've decided I am only going to buy a few really nice pieces, rather than my previous wall of racks:



    I had this lot from 2001 until about 2012, most of the synths were sold off, although I still have the JV1080 but it hasn't been on in about 5 years.
    I've kept all the outboard and expanded it quite a bit.

    Most of the synths I had are completely unnecessary now, given how good plugins are, so the next few synths I am going to buy are going to be awesome sounding analog mono synths, modulars and some weird things.
    Next on the list will be an Arturia Matrixbrute, an Andromeda and some sort of Dave Smith analog thing.
    I'm also going to build a Eurorack modular.

    Go for it! I've wondered about the Andromeda for years. Bit concerned about those custom chips.

    Yes, quite a bit of my setup is your fault! I went on an Emu spree after buying your Orbit 3. Got the Vintage Pro and Virtuoso. And after buying your JV2080, I started looking at ROM cards for it, did the maths and traded up to the Integra 7 to get all of the SRX expansions. :-/

    And the centrepiece of the whole setup is the VS-2480. Still got one of your VSR-880s in the home setup.

    The best buy recently has been that Oberheim/Viscount controller. Weighted keys, 4 zones, programmable, MIDI Ins for other gear, and all for £120. People just can't get rid of them and they're too big to post.

    Some good decisions, for the most part. ;)

    The Roland Integra 7 must have pissed off a lot of Roland JV/XP/XV owners. I'd have one like a shot but the economics of ditching my existing Roland boxes are disadvantageous. The one with which I would never part is the JD-990.

    Of my E-Mu trio, the P2K does the bread 'n' butter sounds - Composer, Protozoa, ZR76, the O3 does the exciting synthetic sounds and the Audity 2000 just sits in the rack, looking enigmatic. (I only really use it for arpeggiated stuff. I probably ought to sell it.) 


    Be seeing you.

    Yeah, that little lot would cost a fair bit of time, money and aggro to find and buy back. But if there's someone just right for the job, it must be you! ;)

    Just got a used (mint) Kurzweil PC3k6.
    Love the lush and thick strings and pads on it. Built well too with all metal case. LCD display is a bit dated but I didn't want to be looking at a color touchscreen either

    How do you find the Prophet 6 @GavRichList
    I struggle with the idea of it being only 4 octaves which just seems wrong as the original P5 was 5 octaves.

    I love it... but im a guitarist who owns synths, so the lack of a fifth octave doesn’t bother me in the least. Can’t play the old Joanna past a few chords - I program. What I can do is tickle a sound or two out of them though, and it’s a really deep synth. I don’t find it quite as easy as my sub 37 for plug and play, but I guess that’s testament to what it can do. Sounds stunning.
