Part 16 of my gear:

The JT-Mini is a portable analog polyphonic & programmable synthesizer, inspired by the classic Jupiter synthesizer from the ‘80s.
Easily manipulatable, allowing you to create a myriad of different sounds. A 16 step sequencer w/ motion control is also built in. Great fun!

Part 15 of my gear:

The Behringer Pro Vs Mini is a tiny, 5 voice hybrid synth w/ an analogue low pass filter, arp, & 16 step sequencer. The magic happens w/ the 4, vector morphing oscillators which are controlled w/ the joystick. This is amazing for soundscapes & ebbing, background sounds.

Part 14 of my gear:

The Korg Volca Keys was one of the flagship Volca series synths. Released in 2013, it's purely analogue and uses subtractive synthesis to create sounds. It has a 16 step sequencer and can be battery powered. Sounds are created from scratch. No presets here. Very powerful.

Part 13 of my gear:

The Donner B1 is an analogue bass synth & sequencer that's capable of producing pumping old school FLA baselines, 808 squelches, & everything in between. It's easy to use, w/ plenty of on-board storage for your sounds & sequences, including a new song mode to save whole tracks.

Part 12 of my gear:

The M-Audio Axiom Pro 49 is a USB MIDI controller with a semi-weighted keyboard that has 49 keys, 11 sliders, 8 encoder knobs, 8 MPC-style trigger pads, and over 50 buttons. It works great with both VSTs and as a DAW controller. Plug-n-Play, as it auto maps to a variety of VSTs

Part 11 of my gear:

IK Multimedia's Uno synth is a true analog, monophonic synth with twin oscillators. It's fairly tweakable so crafting unique sounds is a breeze. Parameter changes can be recorded with its onboard, 16 step sequencer. It's a budget synth with some serious oomph!

Part 10 of my gear:

Yamaha's SY77 is a monster of a workstation. Employing a multi operator AFM synth engine, this is a DX7mkII on steroids. The built in drum machine and expansive (well, expansive for 1989) sequencer allow you to compose and save full tracks. I absolutely love it.

Part 9 of my gear:

The Yamaha SY85 was the beginning of their shift away from FM synthesis and into Advanced Wave Memory. Released in '92, this workstation features a 16-part, multitimbral synth, loads of sounds & effects and built-in sequencing features.

Part 8 of my gear:

The Behringer JT-4000 Micro is a reimagined, stripped down version of the infamous Roland JP-8000, known for its use by A LOT of Trance artists in the 90s. This, sub $50 synth, offers quite a lot in a very small package. Check out my demo song in the comments.

Bought a few new VSTs over the holidays and while exploring them I decided to try something different...a little, light yacht jam.

Decided to try something a bit new and I'm pleasantly happy with the results

Part 7 of my gear:

The Roland SP-404A is a sampler with several built-in effects. Seems to be geared more towards DJs or live performers, so I find its capabilities redundant when used in conjunction with a decent DAW.

Part 6 of my gear:

The Korg Monotron Delay is the sibling of Korg's standard Monotron. Basically it makes everything you run thru it sound like you're composing a bad rendition of the Blade Runner sndtrk. I rarely touch it. 🤷‍♀️

Part 4 (and 5?) of my gear:

M-Audio's Venom synth is a gritty beast full of endlessly tweakable sounds, dirty effects, and nasty filters. You could construct a whole Suicide Commando track on one of these, so I guess I could construct. I, obviously, love the sound of this synth.

Part 3 of my gear:

The Korg Monotron is a mini analogue synth with the same LFO, VCO, VCF and analogue filter as the Korg MS-10. The filters sound great when running other gear thru them.

Part 2 of my gear:

Arturia's SparkLE drum machine/midi controller. 1000s of onboard sounds and effects. It can sequence up to 64, 32 step patterns and arrange them into Song mode. The built-in sampler and a 'build your own modular' portion make this a pretty great instrument. I use it on most 🎶

I've no idea what to post on here, so I'll begin with a rundown of my gear, boring stuff first....

The Behringer Xenyx Q802USB

Entry level/beginner's mixer with 8 inputs (2 mic) and a few, low-key effects. It interacts easily with both digital and physical instruments.
