Whats in your collection

Name your equipment. And why u chose those peices opposed to others.

I only have an MPC 1000. Im thinkin bout coppin a keyboard but I dont know if I need one. Do yall use the keyboard or a subistion.

I use a roland juno d synth its has good sounds and its less than $700

roland system100m, future retro mobius, roland space echo 201, jomox xbase, mini syncussion, allen n heath mixwizard, qudaraverb, dps v55, oxygene 8, although it is all changing in a week loll:)

yo try reason before you get an expensive synth - reason will introduce you to the word of synths smoothly. later you can get the real thing.

good call reason 3.0 is what its all about

Reason 3.0, Emu XBoard 49. Do Not buy the Emu XBoard. Very poor quality.

Since last summer I have not had a place to live, while travelling and crashing at friends and relatives I got myself the MPC 1000 mainly for it´s portability and the fact that a sampler and sequencer is the only thing you need to complete a good song. When I settle down (hopefully soon), I´ll get my studio from storage:

Akai S2000
Novation Super Basstation
Yamaha AN200
Roland M-SE 1

PowerMac 7600 (pimped)

a few multieffects, a big Behringer mixer and a patchbay (everyone with outboard gear should have a patchbay or two, makes you creative)

mpc1000

2 1200's

vestax 06 + 07

vinyl with weird synth sounds 80's sht

no ned for anymore

MPC1000, Motif ES rack, Elektron Monomachine, Roland SH-32,Emu PK6, MFC-42, Line6 DL4, Electrix MoFX, Korg D1200mkII, Alesis PhotonX25. Not into software.

Nord Modular G2 synth (does pretty much everything i could hope for)
E-mu e4X sampler (does everything the MPC can't)
Akai MPC-1000 (my favorite hardware sequencer, had a 2000xl)
Behringer BCR-2000 (for controlling other gear via midi)
Lexicon MPX-1 reverb/fx (just got this, sounds great)

MPC 1000
Korg KARMA (Triton Soundset)
U-control Uc-33 (Midi Controller)
Expressionmate (Midi Ribbon Controller)
Kaoss Pad 2
M-Audio Delta 1010
Electribe ES1

Equipment I use regularly:
MPC1000 (x2) - great workflow! (since OS2)
Akai CD3000xl (I love its sound, the filters...)
Akai s20 (amazing "hands on" unit, great lo-fi sound, punchy and round)
Denon DN1000 CD player (small and effective, really small)
Soundcraft compact 10 mixer (small and effective again, great routing capabilities, sounds great - build is so and so...)

Equipment I use so little that I'm trying to get rid of (selling at good price; in Paris - PM me if interested):
Akai z8 (too sophisticated)
Yamaha RS7000 (too bulky and plastic, great possibility but uncomfortable implementation: but very advanced sonically speaking)
Roland SH-32 (why did I buy this? I have no use for that piece of gear)

Equipment I barely use but keep for sentimental reasons:
Yamaha qy70 (smallest synth sequencer ever produced, works on batteries, sounds great)
Yamaha rm1x (great unit all in all, metal, solid, sounds OK - not great, does a few things the MPC1000 sequnecer can't do...)

- Akai Professional MPC 1000 Music Production Center
- Technics SLD-20 Direct Drive Automatic Turntable System
- Numark PT-01 Portable Turntable
- JVC RS-5 Stereo Receiver
- Radio Shack SSM - 8030 Stereo Mixer
- JBL Control 5 175 Watt Two-Way Compact Control Monitor Loudspeakers

- Sony Sound Forge 8 Professional Digital Audio Editing Software

I use the Behringer MS16 Monitor Speakers for my PC and the JBL Control 5 175 Watt Two-Way Compact Control Monitor Loudspeakers for the rest of my setup.

software - reason, acid, sound forge, loads of others i can't use yet

hardware: see below.
mpc1000
tt200 turntable for scratching
tt1520 turntable for sampling
serato scratch live
vinyl and mp3s for sampling/scratching
sp404 (sick for progressive hip hop and breakdowns)
mackie 120vlz pro mixer

i also dig at my school's library- you can get tons of vinyl there.
