stargatemax's Electronic Synth Setup

...for combining a pile of (mostly) digital synthesizers and workstations together! 8 stereo inputs, very easy to use, each input has its own volume and mute button, and more. It's rather cheap (around $100 where I got mine from, new) so I'm not sure how some experienced mastering engineers would feel about it, but I haven't had any issues with it, everything sounds great so far. I have 2 of those. They're currently overpriced on Ebay and Reverb, you can get one cheaper from an actual (online) store.

It's quite easy to use, and the synth sound is totally up to today's standards. Only the acoustic sounds may not sound as realistic, but who gives a f*? This thingy is perfect for pads, textures, synthesized sounds! For me personally this is a highly valuable machine because Mike Oldfield used this extensively for his best album (IMO) named "The Songs of Distant Earth" in 1994.

So nice to hear many sounds used by Vangelis, Enigma and others in early/mid 1990's. The sound is warmer because of the sampling rate which is 32 kHz (if memory serves) instead of 44.1 or 48.
