What seems to set the 9030 apart from the many other DSPs in this class that is the friendly user interface. Granted, if you don't intend to do much editing of effects programs, most DSPs are pretty simple to use; but you won't find a DSP that's any easier to play with than the 9030. Most of this ease is the result of bringing a visual version of the effects chain to the front panel (with the nine module LEDs) and adding the four "editing" knobs to the panel. Our hats are off to Zoom for bringing clarity and directness to an area of audio technology that too often assumes the user has all day to read a manual and all night to push buttons.

This is a very rare and cool looking 6-channel vintage mixer (build in the late 70’s in Japan) with level, treble, bass, effect level, pan and 3-stage input attenuator per channel. In the master section you will find the master and the effect return controls for the left and right channels. Also the monitor output control, the switch for low cut filter on/off and power on/off and, not to forget, these two coll looking backlid VU-meters are there. It is build like a tank as many gear off these old times. The size is 19" x 3,7" x 10,8" and has a weight of aprox. 4,7kg. I used it a lot for summing drum machines, samplers and synths with the benefit to overdrive it, to get the warm characteristics and distortion out of this wonderful piece of gear..."

The Korg Rhythm 55 (KR-55) is a non programmable analog rhythm box from 1979. The KR-55 and its little brother KR-33 were the successors of the Korg Minipops series. Same knobs as on the MS/PS-series. The sound of the hi hats is more complex - similar to those on the Roland TR-808/606. The KR-55 has some special features: a TRIG OUT jack including several triggering modes, SHUFFLE function and volume faders for the most drum sounds. The rhythms are not mixable like on earlier Korg rhythm boxes (Minipops series). TEMPO and VOLUME controls. It was used by Jean-Michel Jarre (Magnetic Fields) and Depeche Mode (Speak and Spell) among others. It has a very characteristic sound - it sounds fantastic!

Been working with Cubase from 1997 then on Reason and FL Studio.. never been much of Ableton fan but in 2014 when i tried Bitwig i never looked back... use it with all my hardware and soft gear..

My first monophonic VCO Analog Synth. It looks great, sounds great and really unique.

Demo songs from CS1x. This was my first studio synth in 1996/97. Spent many sleepless nights making tracks on it with Cubase XT. Today i use it more as a master control keyboard.
