Best. EQ. Outthere.

Basically the only EQ I use. I do use Maäg EQ4 on the master channel, when mastering projects, but that's it. Pro-Q does everything else.. Sculpting, cleaning, filtering, removing low or high frequencies, mid, side, etc etc.

A great TB-303 clone

Could be the best TB plugin in the market today. Even "Mr Acid" Kai Tracid approves. :) Most fun I've had in years, exploring a new synth plugin. A bit hard to use though.

An underrated workhorse

Use it in almost every project for background sequences, etc. Very underrated.

Great synth plugin

My go-to synth for synthetic sounds in general, plucks in particular. Great for trance.

A cinematic sound beast!

Happiest mis-buyings ever, as I bought it for pianos. :P A massive library for creating ambient and cinematic soundscapes.

Great sounding headphones

Bought these without testing, after recommendation from a known trance producer. Best decision I've made considering my music production. These are the best headphones I've ever tried. (compared to other Sennheisers, Beyerdynamic, AKG, AudioTechnica, etc.) They even replaced my Genelec's as my main mixing gear. The very first mix I did with these a couple weeks after getting them, was better than any I had previously done with the Genelecs or my old studioheadphone (Sennheiser HD 280 Pro).

Highly recommend these or the slightly modified and cheaper Masdrop HD 6XX's. Haven't tested the 6XX's personally, but I've heard they are extremely close soundwise.

A bit dated-sound synth module

My very first synthesizer. Best 1 from the other Roland modules in the same family, too bad it was taken out of sale for some copyright issues with some of the sounds it has. Not really a recommendable synth, unless you are looking for that specific time period sound it has.

A massive sound library

Has prolly every basic sound you'll ever need. Needed a replacement for my brother's JV-1080, which I used for a time and the Integra filled those shoes very well. Only downside it has, that it's a bit hard to use at first, but you'll get the hang of it after some time.

Great pure sounding synth

Love the pure sound of the NL4. I use it as my masterkeyboard atm. Only real downside it has, is that it has no aftertouch. Otherwise would have been 5 stars.

A nice warmer sound alternative for Nova/Supernova.

Was looking for a 5-octave masterkeyboard with aftertouch and after finding out, that the KS has the same sound engine as the V-Station software, so the soundbanks are compatible. (K-Station and X-Station are also compatible) I prefer that warmer sound over the more metallic sound of the Nova and Supernova synths.

Vintage classic

Got this as an alternative to Korg M-500 MicroPreset. Not nearly as good sound, but it holds it's own. Has a surprisingly nice playability for it's age, if you're a keyboard player.

An underrated gem.

After hearing a soundbank demo by JayB (a German producer), just had to get one for myself. There's a lot of potential in the sound engine for trance.

Trance classic!

Been in love with the JP Supersaw sound since '99, "the year of trance". 10-15 years later finally was able to get one.

Very nice and unique sound, but extremely hard to use

Bought it after seeing a demo video of it. Sounds really good, but the user interface is exremely hard to understand and use.
