martijn_naber's Electronic Studio Setup

I can't really say anything about this beast that hasn't been said a million times already. The musical landscape of the 70's, 80's and 90's would have been completely different if the RE-201 hadn't existed. I recommend everyone to buy one if you have the chance.

I love this drum machine so much, it's almost illegal. It refers to a bunch of different machines from the past, such as an 808 (kick 2), 909 (Kick 1), Clave (CR78) and the list goes on. But it differs in it's shaping capabilities.

What a Bang(er) for the buck!

I absolutely adore this synth. I bought it relatively cheap from a guy on the Dutch version of Ebay and ever since I got it, I've been amazed on how good (and bad) it sounds!

Yes, it's a little bit of a pain in the ass to program it. Yes, the value up/down buttons are annoying. Yes, the DCO's sound a little flat. However, from any synth of/from this age, its charm lays in its imperfections. The chorus sounds really nice (even though it makes your stereo image a little warped), the chord memory function is just a lot of fun and it's very sterile which makes it great from retro synth production.

Get it when you find one, it will not dissapoint you.

I got a Prophet '08 Module a few months prior to buying this and I'm sad to say that I hardly use the Prophet anymore, ever since this unit got in.

Just love it.
