Do any of you guys give your synth a nickname.

I call my Roland AX1 'The Jarre' as Jarre uses one and my newish MicroKorg 'Shorty'
Jarre concerts attended - Destination Docklands 1988 - Paris La Defense 1990 - Europe In Concert 1993 (Manchester & London) - Oxygene Tour 1997 (Birmingham)

When I talk about the Nordlead I don't use the full length name so I just call it Nord, clavia or more a nickname, the devil due to it's red colour.

I dont call my synths by any nicknames!!I've got too many to have petnames!!!,I would maybe use abbreviations when talking to friends etc,like say Jupee 8k for my JP8000,or maybe Trin for Trinity and such...



When i Bought the Raven,my wife misread the Livery on the backpanel,and thought it said "Quasimodo",we had a good laugh at it afterwards she said she was gonna ask if it was full of BELL sounds!!!!LoL :D

Nope, I'd like to call my DIY modular something, but it'll probably never happen.
I have to name all my circuit bent products though (for example, Psychospell, Psychomath, Little Smart Ass, etc.)

I used to call my Poly800 "Schrotthaufen" (=>"scrap heap"). Otherwise no nicknames, no. But as a rule i thank my devices if they did a good job. With my wobbly configuration it is not matter of course, that everything runs smoothly.
