This is mine. It's a Yamaha DX-21. I bought it in 1991 when i left the dutch army. I saved my money for months and i was so proud when i had that beautifull synthesizer. I still have it today but i'm not using it anymore. but sometimes i plug it in and play with it.. for old time sake.





Studio F

Roland D50 was my first synth

My first synth was the Casio VL-Tone (1981).



And my first real synth was the Yamaha DX11 (1989).

An Alesis ION



I had to sell it because may composer crashed some months after, and with the money, I bought a laptop and a Roland D50, which I both still use

Nico: You serious about the Ion?

My first real synth was a Korg EA-1. Basic stuff, but a nice sequencer behind it and two synths in one!

Mine was a Roland Juno 2, brought back in 1989. Sadly no longer with me.

Microkorg which I bought in 2005 I think

My first keyboard was a Yamaha PSS-795

I still have it, but i do not use it anymore, except for 1 or 2 sounds sometimes ...

Anyway, the first real synth I bought was the Roland JP-8000, still have it too and use it heavily !!

Yes, despite...
But I guess, one day, I'll get it back

My first synthesizer was a PSR 330 of YAMAHA, bought in 1997. I still have it, but in a box

In 1980 I bought a second hand YAMAHA CS-01.

It's still the only synth I own and I love it...

What the heck Nico I didn't know!

My first one was the same as Andro, but the poor thing didn't survive my musical ambitions
Then I bought

It was an Yamaha SY-1 built in an Electone organ called Yamaha CSY-1. It was pretty limited but still had some useful sounds and aftertouch(!). The sound was very CS80/GX-1.

6 months later I bought a Korg MS10 and started to learn basic synthesis on that.

I had already told that on the ION thread, dear
