This was a fun exercise. Except for the Casio, the SC-55, the two Yamaha's and the D-550, I still have and use all of the old gear along with the newer stuff. Great sounds never go out of style...I recently got to employ the "Alaska" patch from the K2000RS to great effect in a tribute to Eddie Jobson.

I guess we're leaving off softsynths, otherwise my list would be a lot longer. I only say that because I gigged regularly with a mostly softsynth rig back in 2004-2007. I'm now back to mostly hardware. I'm also leaving off midi controllers.

Sorry, looks like you'll have to copy/paste it. Too many hoops to jump through to post a photo!
