what was your first synth?
Do you come from hardware synths or soft synths ?
Maybe iPad was your first taste of electronic music ?

Casio CZ-101 - 1986
Roland JjX-8P.
Sunrizer - yup, I'm a noob
Roland sh101
Bought it just after my pet dodo died! Lol :-)
I have been mainly a guitarist since I got into music, but my first synth was a Roland JV-1010 half rack module produced in 1999. I used it with a StudioLogic Fatar SL-161 keyboard controller.
@funjunkie27 Great pads from that synth! Did you have the hardware controller or did you program it straight from the panel?
Roland JX-10 if my memory serves me right. But Hammond stuff way before that!
Casio VL tone ... Not really a synth !?
Arp axxe bought for £75 some time in the 80s
Still have it ... Probably worth a few hundred now?
Casio cz101 still have it ... Looked at it earlier ( first time in years) keys have started to yellow !!
And some that have come and gone ...
Roland Juno 60
Kawai k1
Boss se 50
Boss dr110
Juno 60 sold to fund a Roland d10 wtf !?!?
Magellan. I hated it at first because I couldn't figure out what the hell all those knobs were supped to do. Minisynth would have been a better (and cheaper) first go at synthesis.
I was a guitarist for 15 years before I ever thought about playing a keyboard. Now I have dozens of apps and my first hardware synth, an OP-1!
Eden (NanoStudio)
Sh-101, 1986 or 87. Still have it, still love it.
Korg X2.
Ensoniq Mirage sampling keyboard
512k memory!
@synthandson I think those are just the standard LoopyHD grey loops looking kind of blueish via low light/poor white balancing. They're only orange when recording, no? I don't think you can set it anywhere. I too prefer Loopy (not HD) blue to the grey.
ARP Odyssey
My first synth was a Jen SX1000, an italian low cost synth. After a few days, I sold it because of his crappy sound. Then I purchased a Casio CZ-101. After a year, he must gone for a Roland Alpha Juno 2. And so on, and so on ... ;-)
1st monosynth was a Powertran Transcendent 2000 kit synth in 1978.

1st polysynth was a Roland Juno 6 in 1982.
Yamaha PSR-500 (the first psr500 model, not the shiny newer ones) was my first keyboard that at least was something that you could actually could make music with. Got a PC a bit later, and started making music with FastTracker 2. Then the software synths started to show, Propellerheads Rebirth, dx/VST etc. I've always been like, doing music for a few years, then just stop for a few years (for whatever reasons) and back to making music again and so on, since childhood. So I've never really just been growing and growing as a musician over the years, but whatever, I'm just doing it all for fun so..
Here it is, big ugly plastic thing..

Roland Juno 60.
@paulb the Powertran Transcendent 2000 looks pretty amazing. That's a lot of OSC mixing. Still got it?
How about you @sebastian? Tell me you still have that exact setup. And the suspenders. Please!
And what about the synths you once had and now you miss?
In the early nineties, I was stupid enough to sell a Minimoog Model D and an ARP Odyssey, both in mint condition, for 300 US dollars each. Ouch!
I gave away a Juno 106 (my first and only real synthesizer I ever owned), kinda regret that now since real analog stuff seems to be the shiznit again.
@syrupcore: That wasn't really my setup, it was my grandmother's synth. Yeah. She was awesome. I miss her.
My first synth was a Roland SH5. It didn't have the cachet of a MiniMoog but was half the price and in some ways, more versatile.
The Transcendent only had one oscillator, but it still made some pretty good sounds. Good filters and pulse width modulation helped, but I used to wish the LFO rate would go a lot slower than it did. It also had an audio input which allowed me to plug my bass guitar through the filter and modulate it with sample and hold for rhythmic random harmonics. I sold it many years ago.
Korg Delta - it is a string synth with a synth (not osc driven). FAT, round basses! Next came a Juno 60. Then an Oberheim Matrix-6. Later on came a Waldorf XTk and a small MOTM modular. And I also had a few analog drum brains/machines like Pearl Drum X and Roland CR-8000. Sequenced everything with an Alesis MMT-8 (a later black one). I only have the Waldorf and MOTM left for synths. Still have all of the drum machine/brains and the Alesis in storage. All synth/drums are done on iPad nowadays.
Korg MS10...cos I was too impatient to save up for a 20..nothing changes..
@thesoundtestroom Hahaha LOL! I KNOW that feeling! :-)
