Are you a hoarder? [Extensive gear chat]

[Mr F]

I prefer the minimal setup with just a few key pieces of kit, this is what i have

Roland JP8080
Roland Alpha Juno 1
Access Indigo 2 -- Although im thinking of selling this
EMU E5000 Ultra Sampler
Sherman Filterbank 2
TLA Ivory 2 5051 (x2)
TC Powercore

going into the computer via a RME Fireface 400 and mixed inside Cubase SX3

I have been tempted to get a mixer to run my synths and sampler into before going into the computer so that i can have everything running at once. Maybe a Mackie Onyx or VLZ...

[Gary_Munday]

Minimal, but still a great setup there Mr F. JP80xx is one hell of an extensivly used synth from what I gather. A few gigs I've seen on TV had JP8000 involved pretty much all the way through by various bands. I think having a mixer is a good choice even for expanding I/O. On the other hand it's good if it features control surface to DAW, as that is pretty much where it's at isn't it?

What about monitoring?

[Mr F]

For monitoring im using Mackie HR-624. I managed to get a good deal on them from eBay a couple of years back

The JP is a very popular synth.. although technically its inferior to the virus i prefer the sound for leads. The Virus does bass better though

Those mixers ive been looking at dont work as control surfaces which is a shame
Ive used a Mackie Control surface before and loved it.. i would get one but they are very expensive for just a controller

[Ibunshi]

Hey, new here!

this is the gear i have now.. i certainly dont need all of it, i would do fine with just the mpc alone.. having more gear just gives me more options when im creating.. just different tools, good for different things

Great gear.
