In the past year I have done a major upgrade to the studio. It included getting
rid of more than 10 synths that I no longer used/wanted and adding the Virus b,
Microwave II, Micro Q and Micro Modular. Lots of micros! :-) I sold/traded
off a bunch of the older synths (SH-101, Juno 60, MKS-70, MKS-50 (hoover patch
maker), K4R, K5000R, Emu Orbit.... still have some of the otheres lying about
but not used) to finance the new ones. I just added a Korg ER-1 to spice up the
drums a bit, they are so cheap now.....

I'm still facing the learning curve on many of the new ones, but I hope to keep
with the current setup for a long time, this should let me learn them inside
and out. I tend to learn the synths as I need to. I don't set out to learn it
top to bottom, I just figure the features out as need arises. Eventually I go
back and re-read the manual to figure out anything I might have missed while
exploring.

Hopefully no new synths come out any time soon that I can't live without!! :-)
