My Korg Kronos for sure...still waiting for Korg to release the Plugin Editor. I may buy a Yamaha Motif XF to replace my Fantom G as Roland refused to update its plugin editor for Windows 7/64 bit. Other than that...I am looking at Motu's MachFive 3 Sampler although Native Instrument's products give you more bang for the buck.

If you don't mind having a midi keyboard Distorted is selling his over in hardware for sale section.

Not getting the Ren though, I'll end up getting the Studio - using a laptop with it or when I'm not traveling it'll be at home connected to my studio pc. Maybe downstairs on the laptop when I don't feel like lighting up my stuff in the lab.

I can't wait.

I'll be using a Motif ES6, 2 EMU Command Stations fully expanded with Roms, Komplete 8 and some other VST's with the MPC Ren.

I also own Maschine and a MPC 1000... I'll keep and continue to use the Maschine... but the MPC 1000 is up for sale...

Only time will tell if the MPC Ren can put Maschine in the "For Sale" zone...

If I get one (can see getting the Studio for traveling and such but the REN is so dope that i kinda want it instead) I will be using my Slim Phatty, Mopho & XV3080 with it... Tell u the truth I dig my MPC 5000 synth so much that I'll probably use it with it too... gear lust is a ****... Ren & MiniBrute (i need to work some OT and/or sell some beats this spring LOL) plus I want Komplete 8. this is bad.
