Now THAT IS an upgrade

I never owned that Gemini Lamp posted but I believe it was the first hardware sampler I ever used when a friend borrowed one.

Man, I thought my ASR was in good shape that one looks minty.

I still fail at posting pics here. (walkthroughs are welcome but I'll refer to older posts where people tried to help me figure out what I do wrong, obviously the issue is my stupidity )

A TR-505 was the first thing for me, unless I count some rudimentary music stuff I had on the C64 computer. Sorry again for no pic but a 505 isn't much to look at or hear anyway.

Thanks Lamp, I'll peep the proper link bracketing, I always end up with [link], but I'm sure I'll figure out. I got an A in Comp/TIA so it's all a bit embarrassing.

I might have used a different Gemini, it was before '92. I remember it having 15 seconds sample time, 3 five second ones or one 15 second I think.

first keyboard i used to trigger fl studio:


first sampler i used, still have it but prefer the s1100 these days:


first drum machine, had a lot of fun with it:

after that i got a 2k classic from a friend and was hooked.
i use the 2kxl now.

first keyboard/synth/sampler was the SK1...

had some oldschool keyboards after working at a Value World second hand mart later



finally broke into hardware after like 10 years of all computer and got the ESX. I was actually sort of worried I wouldn't be able to do anything that deep, or fancy, or express myself in an articulate way with the Korg, but it really was a great machine to start with in the hardware world. I don't think after all the songs I've done with it that I could ever sell it. it's just too good!

in order...

Korg ER-1

Unfortunately, the box that came with mine did not look like this, it was just a cardboard box that read Roland MS-1 and everything else in text was in japanese except for the manual.
