Your top 5 game changing music tech hardware that you personally used.
Gen 1000 analog synth - my first synth! I made noise….it was fun!
Octamed on the Amiga - free on an Amiga magazine disk - I could try to make music again….I played more games though lol.
Korg DW8000 - the first hardware synth I played that had digital waveforms and Alien Sex Fiend used one, so I knew it had to be good lol. Digital sounding synths were so new to me back then!
Alesis Andromeda - Wow what a synth. I should have kept this and become hungry and homeless instead! So far ahead of its time and the best UI on any analog synth ever made!
My first iPad - got me back into music making again!
Comments
My first iPod Touch I purchased in 2011 just to beta test FL Studio Mobile 2.xx. (This was back when FLSM's architecture was based on Xewton's Music Studio.)
My old iPad Air 2 was my trusted companion for a few years. Soon it wasn't powerful enough to handle larger projects.
My 5th gen iPad Mini showed me what screen form factor would become my favourite. (I then got the 6th gen and 7th gen, the latter of which has 512gb and Apple Pencil Pro.)
My iPhone 14 Pro Max with 1TB storage. About a year or so before the Mini 7 was released (which as of this typing was about a month or so ago), I needed a device with larger storage space for all my romplers and audio samples. This thing is basically a studio in my pocket, and I still use it on occasion for coming up with quick ideas.
(So far, all my answers were based on Apple devices. So let's finish off with...)
Selling gear to make ends meet sucks…
It does. Oof.
Moog System 55 console
Yamaha DX7
Roland JX8P
Waldorf Iridium
Yeah… this iPad
Teenage Engineering OP-1f
TE op-z
tE KO II
Korg Volca drum
Roland s-1 synth
iPad M1
Rocked my world when I found out how rich of a music production platform it was coming from Logic and Ableton on laptop.
Launchpad pro
Launch Control
I can interact with iPad apps like any piece of hardware!
SP404 MK2
This thing can do all of that!?!
Moog Werkstatt 1
My gateway drug to modular and semi modular GAS.
I had a play with a Super JX 10 once, lovely synth!
Nice compact gear
Yep love my SP404mk2 - such a wide variety of uses!
CS15 classy first synth!
@garden
That is an incredible list. Gotta mortgage you’re house to buy those these days.
Lent it to a friend who I then lost contact with thirty odd years ago...still miss it...
I had the Super JX briefly. I weep.
Me too. I even use it as my main audio interface...and those effects!!!
iPad Air 3 cheesy but it was the first device I bought to be creative when I had a podcast I would edit and make cover art for each episode. Then somehow got the idea from a Jake One iG story to check out Koala and then fast forward a year later and I was deep into the trenches in learning about Drambo and ended up here. It’s been a fun 5 years with it!
Casio CZ1000. Cheap. Multitimbral: 4 mono synths in one box.
Roland TR505. My first sequencing thing. Changed my game.
Atari 1040STe / Cubase. Powerhouse, nothing was ever the same again!
Alesis Midiverb 2. No more dull, mushy spring reverb. Used on everything and instantly made a huge difference
Roland D110. Not a great synth but on the end of an Atari it gave so many options.
OMG that Midiverb. Such a great widget. It added so much.
I won’t mention my Tascam 424 (which I still have) because it’s pretty much equivalent to any four track tape system I could have got, better than a 3440 for being all in one box, but tying one track up with a sync track all the time was crippling – at that time one brave manufacturer really should’ve brought out a five-track portastudio thing and swept the board with sales but nobody did
An epiphone eb-1 short scale bass. I used to play a 5 string long scale and liked having some extra low notes, but with my relatively small hands my playing got a lot better on the short scale and with only 4 strings I could more easily get a little bit into music theory.
A gaming pc that could run a daw properly in combination with Ableton 10, which clicked a lot better with me than Logic 4, cubase and FL Studio.
A Push 1 that, coming from guitar and bass, opened up synths in a far more intuitive way, than a keyboard ever could (I'd still like to be a better keyboard player, though).
A cheap ukulele bass, sounds so smooth, is a joy to play and served me nicely in many jam sessions.
An iPad with all the nice MPE controllers and synths and especially Drambo, which I find even more fun to build midi-patches in than Ableton with max for live (not actually coding in m4l, but building racks with Ableton and max midi-plugins).
I had an Emu rack, but took the roms out and put it in my Emu Command Station. Had one of their rack samplers too!
Air 2 was my first iPad. It lasted me nearly 10 years of almost daily use - still works but the battery barely holds charge now
O tamed must have been such a gateway drug on the Amiga!
Yes, Alesis did some wonderful gear!
I remember having the SoundOnSound magazines for the SY77. I seem to remember they split it into two magazines. I never ended up being able to afford one.
I’ve always wanted to get a bass guitar, but just never got around to it - think I would get a short scale too if I ever get around to it.
EMU SP1200 : Nothing else makes your drums sound like “that”.
Teenage Engineering OP-1 : To me the most user friendly synth I’ve ever used and the colour coding of the knobs to what they alter on screen was in my mind a simple but brilliant idea.
Roland MS-1 : one of the first “affordable” samplers and the Grandfather of the Boss/Roland SP line.
Wow... I tried one and it was lovely. Such an amazing fat sound (plugged. didn't try unplugged lol)
Now i'm craving one again. Only con I recall is it was more for soft playing, so no slapping. But I may be wrong
