[soundtest]

Here's my setup:

PII 233 IBM ThinkPad w/ 192 Mb RAM and a 4GB HD running Debian Linux and using seq24 as a MIDI sequencer (BEST fucking program EVER) and Specimen as a sampler... I've obtained better MIDI timing and stability out of this piece of shit laptop than I have on Windows computers with 4 times the specs.

Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro mixer
MIDISport 2x2 Interface
Ensoniq ESQ-1 synth
Korg MS-2000R synth rack
Novation DrumStation rack
Boss DS-1 distortion box
Yamaha fretless bass

and hopefully soon, an Access Virus and/or a Nord Lead 2

[Dole]

I have a lovely drum kit with the best double pedal money can buy (DW500), a hi hat stand designed to go with a double pedal that only has two feet, a sweet Tama kit, a signature 15" Yamaha near-piccolo snare, an amazing drum stool that has a seat like a harley davidson, a set of zildjian cymbals, a new china and a cowbell.

Thats it. Luddite rock.

But the real pride 'n joy of my music equipment collection would have to be my Korg Triton Pro-X (88-key) synthesizer. I just wish I had more time to play it these days... but man, it's the most beautiful synth EVAR.



I used to have it downstairs and next to me at all times, but since then I've moved it upstairs so that we had more space. As a result, I don't use it as much these days cuz I'm rarely upstairs. :o Hopefully I'll get back into it though whenever we move into a new place.

[Emu]

How are you going to move all that stuff?

[Mockery]

You mean if I move out west? I'll sell off most of my big stuff and then put what I want to hold onto in storage until I can move it out to where I am. :o
