My first sequencing program
1985 ... Atari 1040STF , Creator , Prophet 2002, a couple of Midi- Keys and in Sync to a Tascam Taperecorder

Orchestra Machine !
I used to have up to four units, full of cards plus the JD990 and VP9000. Today, you find all of this inside the Roland Cloud, but ... please ... do your homeworks, Roland.
You have one? Keep it.
I had to change the side panels recently. The rubber started to get sticky. Arturia replaced it without any costs. The sound of the minibrute is very unique. Compared to Minimoog and Arp Odyssey it is a third kind of solo- sound. Very good keyboard action and an arpeggiator on board that can be synced to your song.
No Chaos with the Kaoss
Last in line : The Kaoss Pad. It is perfect for live control of my music. Breaks, filters , reverbs, delays until destruction. I also like the sampling and looping features. Very intuitive.
Modulationioulicous !
The MOBIUS. A cool midi- syncable unit for any kind of modulation. Presets for days. In combination with BIG SKY you will find a cool sound at any time.
Delay , Modulation and Loop- Monster
Strymon effects are a constant part in my setup. Easy to use and really good sounding.

Hall for days
What a rrrreverb. Strymon are surprising me with their cool stomp- boxes that provide all kinds of effects.
Best digital grand piano- My work horse
The N3 is my favorite live piano since 2014. I would like to point out to the speaker system and the tactile response of the keyboard and pedals that give you the feel of a "real" acoustic instrument. Yamaha has introduced the N3X recently, adding a Imperial sound and some other features.
The ultimate chocolate bar
... with everlasting battery- power. Perfect for sounddesign and producing. Beware of replacing the headphone- plug before checking the sync settings!! I bought a new plug- module because the left channel was off. I found out later that it was a mistake in the sync - setup which uses the left channel for sync. BUMMER
My first grand piano
The Yamaha has the best size for a grand. The CFX is mostly too big and too loud for recording.
Best little Sampler
Love to use it together with my IOS transfer APP. I can record anything and put it right into this thing.
Analog Drumsounds with patching
Sometimes I like the machine, sometimes not. The Drumbrute is very special regarding sounds. The layout is really nice and it works fine in a live- setup. The parameters for kick and snare could be a bit more detailed
Ok, I have the 61 key version
... but the rest is the same. Perfect little companion for triggering IOS devices or in the studio on my desk. Keys could be a bit wider , Korg- people.
Better hearing with ... Benchmark
I decided to buy a Benchmark many years ago to have the perfect preamp for my studio- headphones. I actually have the PRE version with various inputs. The sound is clearer now. No artefacts and much more presence.
Arp re- done
Comparing the ARP to my MINIMOOG ? The Arp is different. The Moog is a lady ... the Arp is the Rowdy.
Workhorse compressor limiter
I've been using a stereo pair of the model 100 since 1999. Great piece of equipment and very robust. Side chain in ... ;)
Monster Synth Mother
The origin was on my wishlist for a long time until I found a working one. Arturia was still in its childhood when they came up with that truly amazing synth. It is more a hardware for the Arturia Collection of classic synths. It would be great, if they could open it for the new V- Collections. This would turn it into an even better hardware- controller
My wonder- machine
What is an organelle? It is almost anything you want to have. Just change the preset and you have a sampler, an effects unit, a synth, a looper or somekind of recording- hack-loop- restyle- unit. I will get the new organelle, soon. Midi, microphone and a built in speaker !!
Highly underestimated workstation !
I owned various Tyros models before bumping into this one. I love the GENOS for songwriting, because you have everything you need on board. You can sing and record right into the machine and try out different styles. The sound quality of the voices ( the solo voices !! ) is outstanding. The 76 keyboard is perfect and ... it is really light to carry. The sound collection online is growing constantly. The GENOS is not only for entertainers !
Complex and very effective
My first modular synth. I still like it a lot and its fun to patch and error it ;)
