I have been looking for a decent stage piano that can fill my needs for Rhodes, Wurly, Clavinet, and acoustic piano sounds. Being able to do some decent B-3 tones was not necessary but definitely a …

For which specific applications or uses have you chosen this product? I play IDM electronic music, and I chose this device as I was after a small mobile studio without having to sacrifice functi…
Roland TR-09 - "A poor musician’s 909 ?"
I’ve played house for a while now, and i’m a great fan of the TR909 sound, to the extent that almost all my tracks contain at least one Roland instrument. Unable to buy a 909 due to its incredibly h…
Arturia DrumBrute - "A nice drum machine."
I use it in my home studio which is (temporarily) deprived of my pc. The machine’s qhality is very good (I suppose Arturia change dits Chinese supplier ^^) The knobs are very nice, the pads are…
Dreadbox Erebus - "A real chameleon with a vintage, mellow sound"
The Dreadbox Erebus is a very interesting synth hailing from… Greece! It’s a monophonic/paraphonic, 2-voice and semi modular model. Granted, its look is quite peculiar but I really like it, plus it …
Akai Professional MPC Live - "A well-conceived, efficient and inspiring device"
I wish I could have given it 4.5 out of 5, but as you can’t give half-stars… I’ll go with 4, as it’s still perfectible! :-D After using it for a few days, I think I can deliver a review on this MP…
Korg Kronos 2 73 - "An exceptional instrument"
I use the Kronos in a context where I'm getting back to making music after stopping it for many years. In the past, I’ve played many keyboards of all kinds, including a Korg MS-20 in 1979. The Kr…
Gator Cases GK-288 - "Gator piano case , nearly the best."
Use this for a very heavy RD700 NX. Takes the knocks of road use but although I am reasonably happy with it there are some slight irritations . The case can flex a little when closing and the catches…

Mindflood Patchblocks - "Nice, tiny Swiss army knives - to assemble yourself"
Patchblocks are very tiny "multifunctional" modules. Actually, each patchblock (I own four, plus two midiblocks) features a minijack in and out, plus a 5-pin digital input (not MIDI – but I’ll get ba…
Boss SP-202 Dr. Sample - "A great sampler worth owning!!"
The Boss sp 202 is an amazing sounding sampler both in Hifi, standard and Lo-fi mode, Lo-fi 2 isn't for me though as its too overkill. A sampler shouldn't always be judged by the sample rates, this s…
Kurzweil PC3X - "Kurzweil PC3X"
Its main features -at least those that caught my attention- are as follows : *the heavy touch type keyboard: -the keyboard is pleasant to use with a quick rebound (quicker than on Yamaha heavy to…
Akai Professional S20 - "Simple loop sampler"
Aimed at DJs and home studio hobbyists when it was issued, the S20 was never one of Akai's sampling flagships. But it's a humble and efficient performer that still sounds great, and is one of the eas…
Roland E-15 - "My first and only!"
I bought this keyboard while I was still in high-school (1990 or so). Yt apparently did not become "available' until the early 90's, but in Canada, I am sure I was one of the first users. The keyboa…
