An Excellent budget Multi-FX, Good Reverbs, Excellent Chorus, and some pretty intresting creative effects
Bought for less than 80€, its a good multi-effect unit sporting 60Presets, MIDI compatibility, Mono In and Stereo Out, Effects features Reverbs (Hall, Room, Plate and Vocal), Modulation (Chorus A, Chorus B, Symphonic, Phaser and Flanger), Delay, Pitch Change (also with MIDI note control) Freeze, Echo, compression and more! It sports a 16bit, 31kHz DAC/ADC with direct analog bypass, his low sample rate make him very cool sounding on Rock snares and drums (hall, vocal and plate reverbs) and on analog synths (chorus and symphonic) I've also found it very good on Violin and strings with the Symphonic program

protools has always been the weakest DAW for MIDI, that's just not what it was designed for... I thought the iLok was a drag at first, but so many of the top plugin companies require it now that I am glad I had to get one. There's stuff I never woulda tried if I hadn't needed an iLok for protools (even though I seldom use pt). Its still a vast improvement over those early USB dongles they used to make us use for copy protection. They were the worst! and they were all proprietary so you filled up a pile of USB slots with them if you wanted to sue all your fancy plugins on a track. Its a vast improvement to centralize all your software licenses on 1 USB port.

I ended up leaving Pro Tools after the version I had no longer allowed me to import audio files into a project. I use an Apple computer, so I swapped over to Logic Pro X and I love it!

I remember when logic wasn't owned by apple and it was called creator.... and it was just MIDI and it only ran right on an Atari PC
even when protools started to become usable you wound up running one computer for MIDI and another to record, Atari and a mac or PC respectively... then Logic became Logic and notator became Cubase and things just got way better... Cubase became Cubase VST.... you guys have it so good.

Does Its work but nothing more... sounds like a England misty day
It could be caused by the two floods that it get, but mine sounds pretty close to a fog wall. It does its work, of course; Eq is also pretty good for a semi-parametric. TRS Jack outputs are a bit of drawback and also the Aux system is a bit messy but overall i got it for nothing so it works for me

Astounding-ly good piano module for his time, If you search some 80s or 90s nice piano sound here it is
When you play genres that don't have a high-profile piano aspect (e.g. not like Jazz or Classical) this 1/2U module could be really, really helpful. Nowadays it can sound a bit old but this little machine still got some aces up the sleeve!

Nice L.A. Synthesizer, a little bit tricky when to program but got nice Synth-type of sounds
L.A. Synthesis sports a couple of PCM generator alongside with two analog-like DCOs two PCM and two DCO can be linked up into a voice, Rack version play 8 voices at the time, that can be routed on the 6 separate outputs, Reverb and PCM Card complete the pack to create a nice backup or creative synth

Nice machine for Pads and Textures, sadly lacks of Filters and Effects, but plug it into an external reverb and you're done
Great late-80's machine, especially for Pads, Strange Synths and Wall of noisy effects. It can layer up to 4 of the 256 PCM packed waveforms and do some basic processing. One of the great failings of this synth is the lack of filter, alongside with some quite noisy waveform. But if you need a cheap, beginner synth or a ambient-pad machine you just need to plug it in some multi-FX (Alesis Nanoverb, Lexicon MX200...) and you made the day!

FM Synthesis + High Quality Samples: A beautiful multitasking synth
Sports a Unique, 6 Operator FM Synhtesis that sounds absolutely warm and analog-ish. Yamaha's AWM2 Sample Synthesis also add a bunch of lovely features like EP Attack Samples to stick over whit the FM Sounds, editing is really cozy thanks to the page jump and mark system. Add 4 Yamaha effect DSPs, 2 separate outputs, an awesome connectivity (MIDI, ROM and Waveform Cards, Floppy) and You'll have a beautiful synth, surprisingly warm-sounding for the age ('89)

I always wondered what the deal was with the 77.... now I want one, thanks

Self-Constructed MIDI Controller Keytar. Featuring 61Keys, Arduino Chip, Pitch Bend and Modulation Control
Built by me and my friend, i get the body from an old Viscount Keyboard, chopped of the "programming" side and inserted a brand-new Arduino Nano chip which converts data from the Keybed into Functional MIDI signals

Awesome Compact controller, Great feeling, huge connectivity and small footprint
Really useful for people that, like me, travel a lot, plug it into your laptop and play perfectly neat! its small keys does not impact the feels that is really really great. Aftertouch, Arpeggiator and Sequencer add some useful features; also MIDI, USB, CV and Sync connettivity are featured!

Useful MFX not only for guitar, nothing special but good price/quality
Born as Guitar rack multi-effect i've used it a lot as live voice reverb, it packs 16 reverbs and 16 effects between delays, choruses, phasers and tremolos. Reverb sounds pretty good despite sometimes a little thick but that problem can be fixed thru the color control; effects works pretty good especially on synths, voices or snares; I don't like so much on guitar, i think his sound are more a kind of overall effect but i paid it 80€ in mint condition and its a great gear piece, easy to use and really light.

I had one for ages as an alternative to the SPX90 and A-lex I ahd been glued to for a decade.... at first I loved it in my rig but then I missed the Yamaha's crunchiness and went back, but as you say the TC proved to be really useful as a recording device and for electronic music... I just enver bonded with the delay section, the toneprint pedals are equally cheap and sound better for guitar or synths wether being purely digital or emulating old delays (many of which I've owned and can comment favorably)
all in all though I wish I hadn't traded it, it didn't help me out that much on my 1st SG and I was wishing I had it for the unique tin plate reverb just yesterday

Buyed recently to be used as live monitors... definied sound but not so powerful
I first heard them in duo with a pair of Adam A7... they work good, less stereophonic comparing to the A7 but still a well definied sound. Using them with my keyboard i notice that they have a powerful tweeter... maybe too powerful, on the high frequencies it goes very loud, but you can solve it switching the incorporated Hi Cut switch.

Probably the best phone i've ever had after the Nokias
In a few word: Powerful, Durable, Very Usable and Versatile it can do pretty everything Also the battery last for almost 3 days (if you con't use too much internet) Recharge is also good, in a couple of hours you can go from a 10% to the full battery, Really a great phone.

It Works, not particolary great on vocals, also the tube's presence is not so clear
Not one of my most beloved... I absolutely not advise for vocals, (the only time i've tried it we immediatly switch to the Yamaha preamps) it can work quite well as DI for instruments. In each case the tube presence is not so clear, you cannot hear "that" tube sound... In my personal case, i often prefer my Yamaha Preamps from the MG124CX mixer (wich has built-in compressor)
