There is nothing odd in your question, but I can stand very short time <msybe 10 secs>, so most of the time I'm in the wheelchair.

(but playing is done from the wheelchair, or another chair, which I rarely use)

The only mod a DX7 should have is a sledgehammer through it...

So how many synths do you own now Radek??

hmmmm i sold few... but now errrr an1x, d50 + pg1000, jd800, monopoly, polysix [highly modified], vsynth with vc1 and vc2, 310u, minipops7, jv2080 + hiphop + vintage + orchestral + 60s&70s, cs30, dx7, ob-8, raven max

that's all i think

well and unfinished modular



i stopped building it for some time coz i'm waitin for 2sc1583 etc

@ Radek - A bit offtopic but I saw you pulled the trigger on the V-Synth. Initial thoughts??? I'm thinking about a XT but they are still up there is cost. Your modular is going to be an absolute beast when complted BTW! On topic mode - engaged

Hi all, fascinating reading about all your gear. Must have cost some of you a bomb, esp for all the vintage stuff some of you have.
I have a modest set up myself.

Novation K-synth(Great for doing solo sections on Oxygene and Equinoxe)
JP8000
MS2000
Nord Lead 2
Waldorf xtk
Yamaha rm1x sequencer(AMAZING replication of korg mini pops sounds)
Spirit folio 8 channel mixer

I used to have a PC running Cubase Audio, but it died on me.

Im thinking of buying a digital multitracker and running it from usb onto a laptop for burning onto CD etc.
Will have to save up tho

Nice, I keep meaning to track down an XTK. I have the Q keyboard ( original nextel blue with wood ends. )

Nice....An Impressive array of synths you've got now,I'm now down to 16 synths+E310,want to eventually get it down to 8


Love the Homemade Theremin,Will Look awesome when its finished


Roland JV2080???Any good??I've been looking into either a JV1080 OR THE 2080 Modules,They seem to be a good buy given the recent prices,I'm trying to get one with the Vintage card

yup, pretty nice module my fav cards are 60s&70s and vintage. many samples can be found on synthmania.com

Oh yeah the XP/JV/XV modules are excellent !!

I have the XP80, JV80 and JV880, and lotsa cards in them (Techno, D&B, Orchestral, HipHop & Vintage).
Nowadays, I use almost all the time the XP80, it has near 1200 patches with the 4 cards !!

Have a look at www.mattsynth.co.uk and hit STUDIO.

i just bought thiz baby well... i mean i've repaired some stuff and received this as reward but look at registers!

What version of the Eminent is that Radek ?
