Excluding Yamaha Portatones and their ilk, my first synth was a Casio HT-3000.

Seventeen years later, I've decided to sell it Wink

I suspect I may have outgrown it.

Went in and bought a K1 cash and the store owner had a DX7 that had just been traded in. The owner was like take the DX7 and pay me within 1 year. Man those were the good old days!!!!!

EML 101

Made a pretty bitchin electric razor sound. Not knowing anything about synths at the time that was the only sound I could get out of it.

A good beer fart standing 4 feet away could de-tune it in a very bad way.

Korg Poly-800, bought used in 1986.
Nowadays the only Korgs I have are the virtual MS-20, Polysix, Mono/Poly, Wavestation, and M1 in the Legacy Collection.

Mine was a Korg MS20 bought new in about 1980. I had so much fun with this machine - it taught me an awful lot about synthesis,. I sold it a few years later for a fraction of what I paid for it to fund a second-hand Poly 61, but missed the old MS20. A few years later I swapped an old drum machine with a mate for his MS20, but it proved a little wobbly in the tuning department so this was offloaded for about £50!!

Man, how I wish I had kept one of them now - although I DO have the Legacy collection with the MS20 controller so all is not lost.... Smile

Excluding Yamaha dsr-2000, my first real pro synth/workstation was Ensoniq TS-10.

Great instrument!

My first "proffessional" keybed was a Roland D10. Sugarplumb was such an amazing demo for me on it. Before that I had a Bontempi toy and a mini Kawai with neoncolours, MIDIout and pitchbend using rubberbuttons. haha too cute it was, now there's real fully specced MIDIcontrollers in that size.. love progress.

My very first was a MicroMoog that I purchased in a yard sale. The seller told me he could not get it to make anything but a hum so for 15 dollars I decided to take a look at it to see what could be wrong. It worked perfectly , it turns out that this older gentleman had no idea what to do with a synth is all. That had to be the best musical deal I ever got. 15 bucks for a micromoog in perfect working condition. Laughing

My first hardware synth was the Kaossilator, but my absolute first was probably the VSTi "Minimogue", and remains my favourite VSTi.

First Synth - Casio VL1 (you know, da da da...)
First "Real Keyboard" i played - a Valve Lowrey at my Uncle's (oh the hours i lost with that thing)
First "Real Synth" i played - a SIEL DK80 - not one of the greats, but i really liked it, played with it live at 13.
First Synth i bought for my homestudio - A Korg SG Pro X (still have it)
