I just updated my "Cover Photo" for the first time with a picture of my "Roland JD-XA Synthesizer"... The keyboard functions much cooler than it looks please believe that; it was worth every dime.

Another synth lover!
Lol... Yea it does kind of feel like I'm collecting synthesizers these days. I use to be a comic book collector, but looks like I've swap one thing for another now. ? My first vintage synth was the "Casio CZ"; since then I've acquired a few more synth like the "Roland JX-8P", the "Roland System 8", the "Roland FA-08 Workstation", the "Korg MR1" module, the Yamaha PSR 500, and a some "Yamaha DX" derivative module I can't think of the name of... Trying to build a dream studio for myself.

My complete hardware synth list is:
Roland:
JX-3P
Alpha Juno-1
HS-80 (Alpha Juno-2 but the keys are busted, works via MIDI)
JV-2080
TB-3
Waldorf:
Blofeld module (black)
Yamaha:
TX-81z
DX9 (doesn't really work anymore but the TX-81z can do everything it can better)
PSS-140 (toy keyboard with some nasty (in a good way) preset FM sounds.
OPL3 (Sound Blaster 2.0... old OPL3 which uses two OPL2 chips) I count this as it is a synth and I can use Adlib Tracker 2 on DOS to make music with it.
E-MU:
ESI-2000 (sampler)
Proteus/1
Kawai:
K1r (nasty 8 bit digital synth but I love it) Has the best one of the best digital choir sounds out of any synth. Used heavily by Warp Records artists (like LFO)
I also have three Casio keyboards:
MT-60
MT-18
MT-140

Today I found an old "Yamaha DX9 Synthesizer" at a local pawnshop for $120... This will be my fifth retro synthesizer I have along with the "Casio CZ 5000", the "Roland JX-8P, and three other rack modules. Along with an "Atari ST 520" just in case I need a retro computer to control these instruments, slowly but progressively building up for an in-house studio.

Yea... Have you heard of the new "Roland 707 Groovebox"...? Someone had suggested getting this one, but I'd already made plans for the "DJ-808 Controller", but it looks very cool. I remember reading about the "Groovebox" back in college around 98 or 99. Always wanted one but never really got one; I was just getting into software based music in 98 using a mod tracker style program to put all of the sounds together. It was a lot of fun doing it that way... It felt like I'd discovered a new way to make music. lol

I got stimulus money coming my way... When is that SD cartridge for the Atari Jaguar going to be released...? I'm waiting on it... Better hurry before I get the "Mega CD SD Cartridge", which I've be drooling over for a minute now.

Still waiting on the "Atari Jaguar SD Cartridge"... Haven't gotten an email from AA yet after getting on the waiting list... I'm ready to buy now.
