Accumulating for years, but... More and more, I use soft synths (Dimension Pro, B4 II, Kontakt 3, EZ Drummer, Battery 3, etc) or real instruments (gtrs, basses, mandolins, hand percussion...) - of the hardware below the FXR and Motif ES are used the most but the Z1 and FS1r are great - I feel guilty about not using more of the hardware since I really like it all and at times force myself to use all the synths.

Synth-related hardware:

Roland:
Fantom XR (SRX: World, Complete Symphony; Vintage Keys)
JD-990 (with Vintage Keys Expansion)
R-8m (with several cards)
OctaPad (Pad 80)

Yamaha Motif ES7 (PLG: AN, VL) with mLAN
Yamaha FS1r
Yamaha TG-77
Yamaha DTX III
Oberheim Matrix 6r
Oberheim Drummer
Alesis QS8.1
Alesis QSR (Classical Instrument and Vintage Synths cards)expansion)
Korg DW-8000
Korg Triton le
Korg Z1
Zoom RT-323

On the blocks to sell:
XV-2020
JV-880 (w/ Pop card)
JV-1080
A-70 (with RD card)
Yamaha TX-802
Casio VZ-10m
Alesis SR 16
Ensoniq EPS 16m
Peavey SP Sample Player
Korg Symphony

Not much current vintage gear - my kid brother still has my old AlphaJuno1, my Ensoniq ESQ-1 needs a new mobo (after a tragic battery transplant gone wrong) and there's the 1963 Hammond L-103 in the basement (where it is staying until the sun burns out or I get much stronger friends).

Current rig is a Korg X-50 on top, Alesis QS 7.1 on the bottom, with a Juno Stage due in 5 days, if UPS is right. Also play guitar live and have a few - normal stage set up is an Ibenez Acoustic/electric and a Strat through a POD X3 Live. Add an amp and a couple stands, and I have almost as much to schlep to gigs as the drummer.

Oh yes, I still have my very first - a Yamaha PSR-12 that my kids still like to play with.

hi my first post here,just found the place while browsing...
2 weeks ago my sister said i'd left 2 or 3 pieces of hardware at her house over 10yrs ago when i went to work away...i'd forgot all about them to be honest so i went and there they were as good as new...the roland mdc1 dance module along with the mvs1 vintage module..the other item was a roland mc50 mkII sequencer...
can't believe the 2 modules are still as new as the day i got them..think it was 95 or 96 not sure but i fired them up and theyre just fine...
are they still used by anyone here as im still amazed at the sounds provided in both modules?
bring back the good old days...

A couple of years into the thread - no problem.

Have:
(Roland)
EP-10 - doesn't get much use, but works perfectly
SH-1000 - bought this from an old organ repair guy who kept it in tiptop shape. I reckon it works the same as when it was new.
JX-8P - traded an RS-09 for this. Good trade for me. I really like this synth.
HP-5500S - sounds great. Much better than a sampled piano.
R-5

(Other)
Wulitzer 200A - bought from an estate sale with the original sales brochure & all accessories
Hohner Pianet T
Casio CZ-101
Some other crap

Had:
Juno-106 - I wasn't impressed with this board. With the chorus & headphones, it sounded make-your-knees-weak amazing, but it absolutely relies on the chorus and sounds thin & lifeless without it.
RS-09 - again, strings sound great with the chorus, terrible without.

I'm new here too.

My only piece of Roland gear right now - vintage or otherwise - is a G707 guitar.

Used to have the G303, GR300 guitar synth and GM-70 guitar to MIDI converter. Miss that blue box.

Likely to have a Fantom G6 or MV-8800 by this time tomorrow....

I've been around for some time too...

Here's my actual gear...

- 35 year old Ibanez Folk guitar (the only one lasting from the 5 guitars/basses I owned)
- Roland RD-170 piano
- Roland Fantom Xa workstation (256Mb RAM / 2GB CF )
- Edirol PCR-500 MIDI Controller
- V-Synth XT ( + 1Gb CF Card) - The BEAST !!!
- Cakewalk's - Dimension LE and Project5 LE
- Native's - Massive, AbSynth4, FM8, and Pro-53
- Boss BR-864 digital studio
- Cakewalk's - Sonar LE
- Sony Audio Studio
- Creative Audio Studio Mixer
- Behringer 1204 Xenyx-FX, 4-Bus, 8 Channel Mixer
- Behringer UB802, 6 channel mixer
- UM3-Ex
- UM2-Ex
- Sennheiser HD 212Pro Headphones
- Peavey Microphone + Stand
- Pair of Cube CM-30 Monitors
- Creative 5.1 Sound System
- Dell Intel core-duo (1Gb RAM, 80Gb HD, Windows XP Pro SP3)

Take Care,

MKS70 - had this since the mid 90's. Used it, but never learned to programme it due to the intimidating interface. Planning to write a sysex-based patch editor in Perl, using amidi to talk to the box.

PC-300 is my current input keyboard and outgoing MIDI interface. Used to have a PC-200, but it didn't come on my intercontinental move. Neither did the two pre-SoundCanvas modules (one PCM, one LA, can't remember the numbers) I had.

Used to have a DX7, also still in England.

Still got my Akai S01. Floppy drive is borked, but am planning to use it now I'm getting back into music using sysex dumps to save samples.

Apart from a handful of Boss pedals, the only other thing to travel with me was my Alesis SR16.

I now have a Korg MS-2000R and a Kawai K5000W on the way, courtesy of eBay.

Add to this sufficient cables to circumnavigate the globe (or at least trip me up on a regular basis), a Soundcraft Compact 10 mixer, a Behringer UCA202 USB audio interface, a ThinkPad running Gentoo Linux and far too little space for it all - and that covers it. (Won't go into details the wood and wire instruments at this point, but we do have a pre-war Bluthner baby grand, but I still can't figure out where the MIDI ports are.)

And what would I like? Although I now have just about everything I need, If I had the $$$, I would rather like to collect old Roland rack gear to keep the MKS70 company. Some sort of rack is probably on the cards anyway, just so I can get some of my desk back.

Old Roland/Boss stuff:
Jupiter 4
CR-78
SH-09
CSQ-600
RE-501
PB-300
R-8M (plus all 11 ROM cards)
CR-80+MSL-15
JD-800
JD-990 (+Vintage expansion & String Ensemble card)
DC-50
PAD-5
SE-70
CL-50

and that's where i stopped. May pick up some old MKS racks (AlphaJuno and JX ones), but other than that my love affair with Roland is over . None of the new stuff has that quirky edge or interesting sound, except maybe the V-Synth stuff.

All my life I serviced electronic keyboards and now retired , start collecting them .
Today I have Roland XP-10 , Elkasolist 505 ,.ARP Omni and Farfisa Leader mb -
rare vintage spinet organ ...

sorry for my English....

First "synth" or MIDI anything was a Boss DR-22OA for making rhythm. In mid-late 80’s because of Sierra Software (think Leisure Suit Larry, Space Suit Larry and especially Kings Quest ) I almost bought a MT-32 for my PC to make better sounding audio for games – but I never did. Luckily just a short time later better PC audio cards came out to better support gaming.

Only beign a guitar player if I bought musical equipment it was guitars, amps, and FX’s so I didn’t buy any early synths (still can't play keys for sqaut) but in early 1989 I bought my first synth a GR-50 which I still use. Since then I’ve had and have a few synths currently

GR-50 (both early ROM cards)
XV-5080 (fully populated)
Fantom XR (fully populated)
SC-8850
Nanosynth
QSR (all cards)
QS8
Fusion 8HD (underrated, unknown, maligned, unappreciated, and no longer made – but I have mine)
Motif XS7

Plus TOO many of the PC usual suspects – which I almost NEVER use for actual music (other than the sequencer SONAR 8.5 PE or for quick things PTPA)

ive sold quite a bit of my 'old' gear but i still have a like-new condition Korg 01W/FD (japan market 100v version too!)

also my first DAW which was a PowerMac7100 (works) with a Yamaha CBX-D5 and EmagicAudio, Waveshells, SoundDesigner2 NuBus. do you guys remember those? hahaha. it's somewhere in my basement.

also my first sequence computer was a AppleClassic2 with Cubase1.5 or something with MOTU MIDI Express. running 10M RAM/40Mb HD. lol i still have it somewhere.

Alesis DataDisk... i still have it. it's a rackmount floppy drive. first of its kind to record SMF for real time playback... i think it was.

i also found a JV1080 sleeping in the basement and actually works!

as for latest gear you can look at my profile page.
