Bhajis rules. Bought an old Tungsten on eBay (after I already was deep into iOS) just to run it. Got all kinds of good info and help from Ashley Elsdon and his Palm Sounds sight...
BELIEVE IT OR NOT. This was my 1st synth. When I began my music studies in the 80s, the university had the ROLAND SYSTEM 700 in their studio. A lair for experimental electronic music in Norway,
Closest i ever got to a Modular was one of these things. Could make a neat motorcyle sound!
Oh my god! I had that damn thing...... So........I did modular.... Who knew! lol.......
Wow, that's massive. What's the 4th knob on the 4th row in the middle right section, next to the doohickey thingie do?
Our sons and daughters, nieces and nephews .... first synth !?!
I must be getting old 🧐
I grew up on one of these too, by pestering a music shop in Melbourne that had one in, every chance I could.
The middle lower section (from my memory) is three VCOs, noise + ring mod, two VCFs, two VCAs, and underneath that are a pair of env gens and other stuff. The left wing is more VCOs, the right is more VCFs and VCAs, top centre box is a sequencer.
However, it was never battery operated, nor pocketable. I don’t think it can fit into this portable music-making thread legitimately.
If you press it, you’ll hear: “I’m sorry Dave, but I can’t do that”

I second that with iPad/Notebook PC comparison. To me the attraction to iOS was the touch screen, hands on approach and reduction of the headaches of drivers, etc. iOS is self contained, stable, and since I jumped in in 2015 the apps are serious pro quality on the level or very near what a laptop can do. As far as mobility, if you have to carry cans & an interface to use anything other than internal MIDI, than a tablet in a backpack & a laptop in a backpack are pretty much the same.
My first recording set up was mobile, I moved my Tascam 424 & my Shure SM57's around quite a bit.
I later added & still have the Yamaha SU-10 sampler. I love that thing...
My first experience with true "mobile" music making, as in mobile phone, smartphone, tablets, etc. was the Android app uLoops (now known as PocketBand). It launched in early 2010 so was a pioneer in smartphone sequencers and loopers.
I used what was my first smartphone, a MyTouch 3G Fender Edition (it had a cool sunburst finish and Clapton did the TV adverts for T-Mobile), which was really a rebranded HTC Magic, one of the first batch of Android phones.
The uLoops "glory days" of 2010-2011 were awesome, it reminds me of this forum actually. It was a social app where you could rate others songs, collaborate, etc. I got into Pro Tools fairly heavy by 2011 but kept an eye on the people I met through the uLoops forum/community. It's actually still on sale on the Google Play store, but the developer 2Beat, which developed Oscilab for iOS, hasn't updated it in years.
I still have the SU-10 Sampler too (or more accurately my local am-dram society does!). We have used it for spot sound fx in many productions, although now moving more to iOS (Sound Slate) where we can store more than 48 sec (total) of sample!
I guess after yesterday we should include this now
Before iOS there was weOS....we’re so narcissistic now
Casio SK-5 and a jambox with overdub capabilities.
Not my only set up I ever had, but a sentimental favorite.
I still remember getting it like yesterday. I went to Musicians Friend here in Vegas around 1997, eventually became a big Guitar Center. I always wanted a sampler with MIDI but it was usually always like Akai rack units that were available and the price points were too high for me to justify.
I asked a dude I knew there if there were any samplers that fit my needs of just making samples occasionally & triggering sounds to fly in while recording (effects, church bells, backwards cymbal, whatever...). He pulled down the SU10 brand new in the box and said"this is it". I believe it was under $150, and with a 30 day return gimmick policy I him got it.
The ribbon control is hit & miss, you can sweep EQ and it had a real sketchy "scratch" effect, butbI wasn't going to use that anyway.
We used to bring our big old 286 and a CRT to run Voyetra to sequence our shows. Rack mount synths felt 'portable' by comparison.
Otherwise, ukulele.
Hell yeah. FT2 --> ST3 back in the '90s. Back and forth between my parent's computer and a friend's.
I also had (and still have one of these)
This was my first piece of gear in the '90s.
