ASR-10 – main Keyboard, great FX, & sampling DIRT!
Emagic AMT8 – MIDI hub. Diamond!
RD9 – the 909 I can afford.
Ensoniq DP4 – THE effects processor.
This gear is the core of my studio, along with a computer and various software plugins, most notably the Korg Legacy Collection and Arturia V-Collection.
I’m a big believer in making use of what you have and resisting the urge to purchase the “newest” thing. Even when for years you may have thought otherwise, you usually figure out that if you thought something wasn’t useful it was mainly due to lack of experience with it.
It takes time to figure out your tools, & nothing happens overnight.
