--> This is a picture from a few weeks ago, when my friend and I combined all our gear in one room and took a picture. Obviously it looks incredibly impressive, and sounded great, but unfortunately, we got virtually nothing done that weekend. Spent most of the time just noodling about with sounds.

Loads of equipment in one place definitely breeds unproductivity.

For those who are interested, clockwise from bottom left is:

Roland SH-09
Roland TR-808

Yamaha DX7
Roland Jupiter 6
Roland Jupiter 8

Roland VariOS
Roland MKS80 Super Jupiter

Sequencial Circuits Prophet 10

drool was too short, so ...

drool

thats illogical, more equipment should make you better

too bad we really couldnt see anything.

ive found the trick with things like that is that its better the second time when your more familiar with everything.

fucking shit synth envy! jupiter 4, 6, 8, and mks80? fucking shit! dx7, prophet, polysix, 808, 606, nord modular?

i think thats possibly all the gear i could ever want.

very nice.

i played a prophet 10 once for about half an hour. its was superjuicy.

hellz yea, sweet pic!

Well i know of a few person myself whom have more then wath you have and they don't make better music its great to have for the collection aspect but not nessasairely good to compose with

Is that Prophet 10 difficult to keep operational? I knew a guy in Friendswood, Texas who had one and said it was always going back to the shop.
I mostly just envy the Jupiter 8. Always wanted one after hearing the early 80's Tangerine Dream, specifically Logos and the Wavelength soundtrack.

the Prophet 10 is basically 2 Prophet 5s in a box, it actually has two Prophet 5 voice boards in it. Those two voice boards go out of tune with each other ALL OF THE BLOODY TIME. Other than that, it's pretty good. This one was apparently used on an Adam and the Ants tour. When we got it, it even had confetti inside of it.

The Jupiter 8 is indeed a thing of beauty. I don't even need to turn it on, just looking at it is good enough.

haha, oh man that is crazy amount of synths, I like how you blocked off the door.

you should have recorded all the sounds you were making, then gone back and sampled it.

Yeah, and then actually made your music on a laptop hehe

Oh yeah, this photo blog again. It's all great kit. I wonder if they still have all of it.
I have a Jupiter 8 now and can back his statement that lots of gear in one room creates a counter-productive environment. Too busy having fun. At least hardware doesn't piss me off.
