The triton is pretty sweet. Korg's sounds are really impressive. The trinity is pretty good, but no sampler. I have that sucker, and its gathering dust and has a stuck key.

I have to say that the mc909 is a power house. Its going to start popping up. The sampler is giving my mpc4000 a run for its money, but the saving on it is retarded. I'll probably go back to my 4k for sampling, but the sequencer is the best that roland has put out in awhile in my opinion.

The usb also opens up the piece like I haven't seen any rolands do before. I'm getting an external hardrive for it, screw the smart media shit.

raven ... wow ... this setup rokks ... and some real nice taste in there ... real nice ... a mesa, gibson guitars, all those synths, wtf ... what about the Roland gr 700 w/707 guitar - is it a real midi guitar or midi capable?

Thank's guy's
I have been building up the synth's for years , i can't get my self to sell any thing. You know how it is.

psScary
the andromeda is a deep synth, it sound's great. Real warm analog tone's,
lot's of control, good fx, i got it used for decent price. if you get a chance to grab one go for it.

Altopiano
thank's for the complement. I know it's a fairly decent set up, but you don't want to be me when it's time to wire the whole mess up, it's a hell of a lot of work. The roland 700 is an old school (early 80's) analog synth box that hook's up to a matching roland 707 guitar. It use's a triger type pick up to activate the synth for playing live. I had the 700 synth moded with midi so i can play it via a keyboard controler.
