Words cannot describe (vocals simply can't)
This is a very special gem in my humble gear promiscuity museum. Seems to be very rare item, limited edition of it could've been purchased for 42 (sic!) local credits and of course now discontinued (probably because no one dares to sell such shit in more civilized countries anymore). Guess it'd be properly nicknamed 'Lord of the Flies' - menacingly hangs on a stick and constantly catches some damn evil feedbacks from my speakers. Some friend of mine said once, that he even saw Adrian Hates from 'Diary of Dreams' purchasing with a couple of these from local bazaar, which leads us to probability of slightly larger number of famous users and even global conspiracy... Well, this is probably the oldest piece of gear I have since the late teens. It was a nice birthday present from my friends and it was crucial in the begining of my sonic adventures, as the only means to record my guttural noises (I mean vocals). The years has not been kind, but still have the memories, some creative fire and this shitty mike (sometimes even dare to use it). Thanks!

LEGEND in your ears
Many controversial things has been said about 'em, this white ubiquity of old professional recording studios, this little brother-in-law of Yamaha NT-10, etc. Found them large and heavy at first, but unexpectedly light and comfortable later, brutally honest, excellent sound isolation, somewhat masochistic for music listening, but nearly perfect for mastering needs, maybe with a little old-fashioned absence of extra presence and bass, but that is matter of taste really. And after endless hours of raw oscillator noise my ears and head are fine with them. Danke schön!

Prepare yourself for lo-fi hardcore madness
Pure chinese plastic rubbish! Which is fine. I mean this thing is old, dirt cheap and shitty, but hey, if you're not consider yourself a serious guitar player and can find (ahem) slightly perverse approach to it - why not? Probably shall never sell mine (but who wants it anyway, haha)

Nice little synth for that 'chrome & rain' 80's sound and for learning FM synthesis
One of the offsprings which came after the enormous success of DX7. Not that mighty and large and famous, but the sound... The heart of the sound is still the same Yamaha's chips and John Chowning's phase modulation of sine wave operators (correct - they misinterpreted it for frequency modulation which is much messy with harmonic content and has slightly less bright sound). Also this 4-operator littluns (DX11, 21, 100) are a little bit easier to program than their 6-op biguns. Still use it, still rocks, but a bit tired of programming now. Sounds even greater with effects, guitar pedals particularly. So if you want that 'Neo-Tokyo 2021' (1986) sound - that is the way to go! And you'd better forget about factory presets - no cheesy rhodes' whining in the future! PS: It was my first synth, heh. Have some fond memories, so it's hard for me to be objective ;)
