Synth Vintage and Drum Machine

Hi everyone, I'm here to open this vintage drum and synth drum machine, many of them having one for example: Minimoog. What do you say good forum?

Love the Model D, its the gamechanger too... before that? suitcases full of modualr stuff if you wanted a portable synth!

in synths I am saying the all time greats are (in no particular order):

Model D

ARP2600

Prophet 5

Oberheim OB8/X/Xa

Roland Juno106 (nothing new in it but itbrought a polysynth to the masses at a decent price with pretty nice sound quality)

Yamaha DX7

PPG Wave

Emu Emulator (sure the synclavier and fairlight were first and did more, but no one could afford them)

Roland D50

Oberheim Xpander (or matrix12, but most people ahd Xpanders)

Korg Wavestation

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard
  • Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp

a few days ago I took the tb 03, it's great

a 303 is really different than anything you already have, must be a real change of pace... check out the Novation Peak next time you're shopping. Just sent my demo unit abck to novation a couple weeks ago and I'm scounging up money to buy one right away.

GEAR:
  • Roland Juno-6
  • Gibson SG Standard

Linn Drum is on my list of classic drum machines.

Sideman too.
