MOOG  MEMORYMOOG                                                  

Well we decided to put the Big Boy on the block first. as far as we are concerned this is the biggest and the best analog synth ever made.

--Fat - Fat- Fat, incredible leads-pads-analog-effects---- Thanks BOB

 

EMU  EMAX ll                                                                 

Well what can you say as far as a sampler goes this unit sounds excellent even by today's standards--great arpeggiator and EMU's library is second to none

                      

EMU MORPHEUS                                                               

This is probably one of the most unique sounding instruments to happen in a long time --the ability to morph between sounds in real time--super cool filters and virtually limitless programmability. along with EMU's great sounds.

EMU   ORBIT                                                               

This is quite a little dance planet if I do say so myself. strong sounding beats and a wide variety of breaks and kits. plus some very good single patch's as well.

EMU  PROFORMANCE PLUS                                          

BOTTOM LINE,

This is probably one of the best sounding pianos I have ever heard.

Our hats off to EMU- again.

           KAWAI  K-5000                                                         

OH--NO  How can I possibly begin to tell you about this amazing synth. This baby stands head and shoulders above any thing out there as far as digital goes.-SUPER crystal clear sounds -edgy & sharp--but very smooth.complete additive control with a great set of PCM's to choose from. Nothing quite like it on the planet !!

  KORG  O1RW                                                                  

KORG's all around great workhorse -supplies a good selection of basic sounds. -- plus there is always a nice surprise to find when your looking for that special KORG sound.

    KORG WAVESTATION AD                                               

STAND BACK --are you ready for a life long journey--that's how long it would take you to explore this amazing piece of hardware.

This synth probably has the most unique and amazing sound set.And gives you programmability from basic to steep,modeled after the sequential circuits VS.The WAVESTATION set a standard that no current synth can touch..

KORG   POLY 61                                                          

This Synth can prouduce some very unique textures, from analog to digital, with a cool and intuitive arpeggiator, and a sound all its own,  thick or thin, this is a great synthesizer

    KURZWEIL K 2000                                                          

This machine has proved to be a real workhorse --providing an all around great synth,and a workstation with some really good sounding analog sounds- acoustic- and orchestral ,plus some of the best drums I have ever heard. And Kurzweils VAST technology is pretty amazing with limitless possibilities

    QUASIMIDI   RAVEN                                               

This has got to be one of my favorite synths of all time ....It is a sheer inspiration to play and program on top of the fact that it is a total powerhouse when it comes to techno & dance.. with a sound second to none and with some of the best sounds and tools for making inspiring music ---!!  

ravenfinal.jpg (15344 bytes)

 

 

QUASIMIDI SIRIUS                                                    

This is quite a cool little machine --kind of like a baby raven but more suited for techno & house type music ... Some nice drums- strings & bass and a lot of great patterns for programming.

QUASIMIDI    POLYMORPH                                      

This is such a cool and creative synth that gives you the interface of an old analog style sequencer with some modern controls.

4 part multitimbral with the ability to morph between sequences in real time. The sounds are very unique --sort of analog -digital and spacey that are well matched to the sequencing abilities.Possibilities for programming are awesome.

     ROLAND JUNO  60                                                              

What a sweet synth this is --IT has a lot of character with excellent analog sounds.

A basic lay out and a  very cool arpeggiator.

Sometimes the simple things are the best....

          ROLAND D-70                                                                      

I like to think of this as my master control board.

It has a great 76 note keyboard with the ability to program and control 4  midi devices and channels at once.with some of the best roland   sounds ever.

This is also the best keyboard we have to compose with..

ROLAND JD 800                                                        

jd800final.jpg (20546 bytes)

Smooth-Sweet-Airy- great strings--brass--leads

lots of great sounding waveforms--analog--digital--LA,

Great editing at your fingertips,,------also edits the 990 module in real time.

s l I d e r s ------  s l I d e r s ------  s l I d e r s.

tweak away with inspiring sounds to spare.

 

 

      ROLAND JX 305                                                        

This is a powerhouse workstation for any kind of dance and techno,,

with Rolands full set of drums basses and grooves this is one machine we

will be exploring for sometime.---a full blown dance workstation..

jx305.jpg (19183 bytes)

 

 

      ROLAND JD- 990                                                             

This synth is a studio and live standard  that is always close by when nothing

else will do,,  basically a JD800 in a rack with a few more waveforms.

I love editing this unit from the JD 800s sliders in real time.

And combined with the 800 gives some amazing results.

SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS PROPHET 10                

Well what can you say to possibly explain how this Beast sounds------

Huge organs--- brass--- analog.. Two five voice keyboardsor stack all 10 voices on one -the sound is incredible.played with the Memorymoog-the sound is phenomenal.

prophet10.jpg (25160 bytes)

 

 

        SEQUENTIAL CIRCUITS PROPHET VS                        

Dominant---- Sweet-----Smooth----- Aggressive are some of the ways to describe this studio standard probably they most unique sounding analog synth ever made.. Sounds kind of like a prophet 5 but with more digital qualities and a sharper more refined tone--- with an exceptionally strong bottom and high end. Not to mention the vector capabilities.

       YAMAHA TG 77                                                                

There is nothing like an  FM   instrument for that serious digital or bass soundand this baby can do it with tone to spare ,the selection of algorithms and PCM's make it a powerhouse even today.

 

tg77.jpg (15918 bytes)

 

 

        YAMAHA TG-55                                                                  

Well little brother can hold his own just fine ,,,,with a different and moreanalog sounding set of PCM's,, this is quite an amazing unit that has become a studio standard with a sound all its own,,,

           YAMAHA TG-33                                                          

Baby vector,,,,,,

programmable vector movements per patch and a nice selection of patches for vector shaping,,,a very sweet little synth with a sound all its own.
