It was definitely a synth Xmas. Blame it on this documentary: Synth Britannia. (This is the full doc- 90 minutes or so.)

The Mellowsound App, to be precise. I think there's a couple and I liked that the best.

Re: List all your keyboards and synths!
I've cycled through more synths than I count. Currently "trying" to be a minilalist but we know that's impossible.
Hardware
Moog Sub Phatty
DSI Prophet Rev2
Eurorack
3x Synthrotek DSM modules
Winter Modular Eloquencer
Erica Synths Polivoks VCF1
Erica Synths Polivoks VCF2
2x Erica Synths Pico Drums
Futuretro Transient Plus
Zvex LoFi Junky Modular
Retro Mechanical Labs Electron Fuzz
2x Mutable Instruments Peaks (most useful thing ever)
Pittsbugh Modular LFO2
2x 2hp Pluck
Pittsburgh Modular Mix/attenuator
2hp Mix
Behringer Model D
Moog DFAM
* here is my modulargrid link
https://www.modulargrid.net/e/racks/view/785264
Software:
RolandCloud Juno 106 (sounds so good that I sold my original Juno 106)
Omnisphere 2.5
* Arturia CS80 (I listed it here because it sounds great but I don't know how to use it)
I have a lot of software synths - Arturia V collection, Native Instruments everything, and a bunch others. However, the ones I really use are the two listed above. I've had the Prophet 6, the Moog Model D reissue, Subsequent 37, Juno 106, and various Korg and Roland synths. I ended up with my list above because of overall cost, and space. The Sub Phatty is such an underrated little monster. The DSI Rev 2 can cover a lot of ground. And both work perfectly as fully mapped controllers to Omnisphere. I don't feel like I'm missing anything despite having had the "best" before.

EDIT
I bought an akai timbre wolf the other night, waiting anxiously for it to arrive. Scored it for cheap on ebay

Re: List all your keyboards and synths!
I just bought a Korg Minilogue XD.
For my musical tastes 95% of the sounds are crap, but the remaining 5%, plus the engines/patches that others have created, are wild.
Already used in in a session and the moody pad I created works so well with my 76 Wurlitzer fills.

Re: List all your keyboards and synths!
Very cool. I don't own one, but you're right. The stock patches are fairly uninspiring, but they're capable of some nice sounds for sure.sookwinder wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 4:14 amI just bought a Korg Minilogue XD.

Now you just need a Minimoog, a Prophet 5, and a Jupiter 8.

Re: List all your keyboards and synths!
It will be quickly done, I only have one, besides my old pre WWII upright piano :
1975(?) Rhodes MKI Stage 88
Serial tells 1975, but features look more 1978ish, so I'm not sure.

Re: List all your keyboards and synths!
DSI Prophet 08
Korg Minilogue XD
Korg Monologue
Arturia MicroBrute
Arturiua Microfreak
I just got the Microfreak so Im still experimenting with it. I love the mod matrix.
I hardly use the Monologue. I think the Microbrute is more intuitive and just easier to get good sounds from.
I love the Minilogue XD's user oscillator and user FX capabilities. They really open up sounds you could never make with just analog.
And The Prophet 08, despite being the most expensive and with the most voices. . . I hardly ever use. I've had it for years but I can't get into this one. Seems to take longer to find useable sounds. And they just sound. .off to me. I've been wanting to sell it but have been to lazy.

Re: List all your keyboards and synths!
Currently I have
Digitakt
Digitone
Novation bass station
Yamaha fb01
Kawai k1m
These last two I've been wanting to sell but havent been getting any bites locally.
I read a lot about Elektron gear having a steep learning curve before getting my digi boxes, but I found that for me and my specific brain their workflow has been the most intuitive of any electronic gear I've used. I plan on ending up with an Elektron A4 which would probably end up replacing the bass station as it seems it covers a lot of the same ground.

Re: List all your keyboards and synths!
Mine:
Hohner Pianet N
Ace Tone Top 5
bunch of old casios - so good for writing imo. And they automatically turn off if you forget to, which is a life saver. The batteries last for ages
On the need repair bench:
an early Hohner Cembalet, valve version
Korg MS10 that I love, but it went bang!
My girlfriend is more into synths than I am, I've lost track of what she's got, OP1, Minilogue, Microkorg, microbrute, another arturia one with cool keys that look like lizard scales
