Samplers mostly, used to have a bit of fetish...!

Got an Akai S950 a few years back for £30, brilliant sound - wonderful converters but a total mission to use when you're used to software!! Ended up selling for about £60 i think...

Also got a completely fully expanded emu e6400 (literally every upgrade inside) for £150.

That's a find!!!

There was one of these in my old recording studio but I never got to use it. The owner was storing it there until it got sold to a synth museum.

Nabbed on ebay for about $900 CDN, was a HUGE liquidation company and they were actually auctioning 2, was in bid war on both, the second one actually was won for around $50 buck less though

Anyways, still stoked I got such a crazy desk for so cheap!

Now, I just need for my studio room to finish being reno'd so I can actually use the damn thing! I'm getting damn sick of mixing down in software.

a Roland TB303 , fully working and in v good condition for 200 quid (sold it for 700, when i desperately needed the money)

Roland mc202 complete with analogue solutions mod matrix addon (physical mod matrix with patch leads)+kenton full cv/midi convetor box. 300 quid, had to sell this too..(very skint+ bills to pay+very reall threat of baylifs) for 500 quid.

the modded mc202 came out with some insane sounds..wobbles, wibbles, blurps, squelches and pluses of all kind...good for basses, leads and experimental noises.
