Less is more, IMO.

Yamaha AN1x
Ensoniq ASR-X Pro
(I host the ASRXCITE web site at
http://www.geocities.com/asrxcite)

Mackie 1202 mixer
Opcode Studio 128x MIDI Interface
Echo Gina 20-bit audio interface
Yamaha Multimedia speakers

Power Mac G3 (many tweaks & upgraded components) w/
external Iomega Zip and Yamaha CDRW on the SCSI chain...

Logic Audio 5.5 w/ ES1, EVP88 (better than my sample library!),
& (soon) EXS24 (me freebie, demo period is up.)

Native Instruments BATTERY (used less often - too many
annoying bugs - gone back to my ASR-X Pro)
Native Instruments ABSYNTH (used infrequently - great for
unique, atmospheric and rythmic/looping sounds - time
consuming to program original patches.) Kind of perplexed at
NI's habit of ignoring bug fixes to the existing product line while
releasing more product spin-offs - don't see myslef buying more
of their stuff soon.

Propellerheads ReBirth (shelfware - never use it anymore)
Propellerheads ReCycle (don't get to use it as much as I'd like
too.)

BIAS Peak SE (an old version I still use for SMDI transfers to the
ASR-X Pro)
