JP8Great instrument, brilliant sounds, excellent synth engine
Published on 09/09/15 at 01:12This workstation (synthesizer, sequencer, sample-reader) is a joy to use. The sounds are really great and definately take after GEM's predecessors (the S-series synths). The only two little nags are in the display (waaaay too small) and the lack of polyphonic aftertouch. The drawbar-section is a very nice addition with a number of brilliant organ sounds already in memory. I really like the Equinox a lot, though I'd prefer the S3 as a performance tool.
Oh, and another minor downside (of all GEM-synths) is it's weight. You really don't want to carry these machines to gigs, it'll hurt your back.
They go quite cheap these days as this is an underrated synth, the last serious machine that...…

Try one if you run into it. You'll like it.

It is true that with 1000 presets, there are often duplicates, but the 2000 sites will let you use something to put your two cents.
Ultimately, it's a big fat synth which ignores a poor cousin of a Kurzweil and has not been as successful forcment he would d.
Besides, if you find the style options SCSI, Hard Drive kit or vocal harmony, do not miss because they are almost impossible to find now.
All good music!
