Mojosnake	Date: June 15, 2008 @ 1:58 PM what kind of korg...?
NosmoKing	Date: June 15, 2008 @ 2:03 PM Korg DW 8000 .. Great analogue synth! Two mono outs that can be a tad out of phase for a tremendous sound
Mojosnake	Date: June 15, 2008 @ 2:04 PM ummmmmmmmmm purdy sounds you gettin out of that thing
NosmoKing	Date: June 15, 2008 @ 2:05 PM Yes.. old but great synth!
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: June 15, 2008 @ 2:28 PM In the past I have had a Yamaha DX7 and DX100 and TG77 module, Kawai K1, Korg Wavestation and M1r module, Roland JD800 and Juno 106, all of which I had to sell either while at Uni to put food on my table / pay the rent, or when coming to Canada as they were UK european versions that needed a different electrical system. If you like Analog synths, there are great softsynths available from Arturia that emulate a whole range of cool vintage analogs with the benefit of not going out of tune or being monophonic (unless you set them up that way). Or Creamware's hardware that emulates the ARP2600 and Minimoog but with modern DSP processing. Other great analog softsynths that do not model older synths but can definately conjure up phat analog sounds are the excellent U-HE Zebra 2 and Native Instrument's Massive.
Mojosnake	Date: June 15, 2008 @ 2:32 PM yeah i'm way into soft synths....but i want to move into a live area and well i would think hardware would be the way to go ...unless i'm missing something...
LiQuidMetamo...	Date: June 15, 2008 @ 2:53 PM the modern day synths such as the Roland V-Synth, Korg M3 or Yam Motif XS7 all have a lot of analogish sounds and tweakable filters etc, even if they are digital, they are versatile because you get the nice sample based sounds of piano, strings, woodwinds and digital bell pads etc as well as simulations of more analogish stuff, plus the ability to split/layer and all kinds of MIDI capability the old synths either had none of, or very basic functions only.
Mojosnake	Date: June 15, 2008 @ 2:55 PM cool thats sort of what i'm looking for for.... digitals fine this is 2008
GeneHilbert	Date: June 15, 2008 @ 5:33 PM I still just have my 2 Ensoniq VFX-SD's. One I use and the other is a redundant backup. There are a few sounds in them I like but I mostly just use them for writing and as a controller for soft synths. I can play keys well enough to create my orchestrations but I'm not a performing pianist/keyboardist. So I really don't need to invest into hardware synths.
Opossum	Date: June 15, 2008 @ 6:13 PM I used to have a Moog but I had to unwire the touchpad as it went totally haywire and sent out all kinds of random and weird tones. probably from being pressed a billion times. I miss that thing to this day. I even used it to alter incoming radio sounds, even static and such, using it somewhat like a mixer as well. Now, I just have a few Yamaha ones, one with MIDI connections, and an older, larger FM synth. I remember when I first got the Moog, it took me several days to get any sound out of it other than a rising or lowering in pitch "race car"-type sound, ha. Then I progressed to that helicopter sound and eventually got what sounded like a cross between a flute and a rolling glass jar.

NosmoKing	Date: June 16, 2008 @ 3:20 AM Noone is pointing to the songs... I had a moog source that I sold.. .how silly was that?
zedsalt	Date: June 16, 2008 @ 3:46 AM Most of my stuff that sounds like a synthesizer is not...my melodica basso run through nothing but a mic and cable, my guitar run through a Moogerfooger MF101, etc. The synthesizer that I have used on my tunes posted here is a Yamaha SY55 using either factory patches or a Mellotron sim' I got for free off Tweakbench. A generous gent sent me a whole bunch of clavi voices for the SY55, but when I tried to use them, it shifted the pitch of my whole 'board so low that only the uppermost eight or nine keys would even make a sound. I had a Roland SH101 for a while, sold it for a little bit o' nothin'. I feel your pain.
Veracohr	Date: August 16, 2008 @ 4:06 PM Dave Smith Instruments Poly Evolver Keyboard Novation BassStation Rack Emu Orbit V2 The PEK is fairly new to me, so I haven't used it on that many songs, and none that are finished. The BassStation and Orbit I use on probably every song of mine.
