1993- Korg DDM110 drum machine.

1998- Kawai K5000S additive synth (no NOT the organ LOL!).
1998- Yamaha O3D mixer with ADAT card (one of the best purchases I ever made along with the Mac set up in 2001 and the Triton in 1999).

2009- Downgraded(!) from 002 to M Box 2 Pro as I didn't need all the extra bells and whistles.
2010- Kurzweil PC361 (61 note version of PC3). Purchased mainly for use for gigs. A fantastic and powerful instrument let down by a crappy 1990s LCD screen. However, it's capabilities more than make up for this major deficiency!
2011- Gem PRP800 stage piano! A highly underrated instrument that I purchased at a very low price because they weren't selling! It's a perfect compliment to the Kurzweil at gigs where I need a 'weighted action' keybed.
2011 future- I'm quite happy with my studio at the moment although I've already hinted to my very understanding wife that the computer will have to be updated next year and I might even look at the option of moving some of my much loved gear to get a Kronos 73???? However, I think I'll wait until the V2 or 'Xpanded' version comes out with the M3 sequencer features.
2012- Hopefully it won't be the end of the world as we know it!
I must say that I'll most certainly be looking at purchasing the ULTIMATE in music technology as soon as I can afford it..... a lovely grand piano!
PS- I also made plenty of other purchases and sales that don't come to mind here and lets not forget the thousands of $$$$ spent on cables, stands and other essential accessories!
