Korg Mono/Poly - After waiting 10minutes for it to warm up and get into to tune, damn it's worth the wait. 4VCOs, sync, X-mod and 2 LFOs make for some huge bass sounds to clangorous metal on metal sounds. And then there's the Polyphonic mode all through 1 filter and VCA. It's go the Korg chord memory function so you can play a chord and transpose it all over the keyboard (or via CV VCOfm input). Using this with the arpeggiator and it's very dopplereffekt. Only annoyance is the arp is triggered on a falling edge to GND (Inverse of Roland type trigger outs from X0X drum machines.)
Korg MS-10 - I bought this 10 or so years ago broken, very simple to repair. The MS-10 and MS-20 both have Hz/V CV inputs. I modded mine to be Roland compliant because at the time I only had an SH-101 to sequence it with and it's been very convenient. The single VCO limits the sonic palette but with the filter near self oscillation it is pure acid squelch. The MS-10 is superb for bass and can produce some nice deep tones. The LFO has a nice continous variable waveshape control from falling saw to triangle to rising saw. 1 Envelope.
Roland Jupiter 6 - This was my first proper polyphonic keyboard with sliders. (I had a Matrix-6 first but no realtime editing). This is a performance keyboard. The sound is nice but not as round sounding as something like a Jupiter-4 or SH-2. The multimode filter is nice for creating little rhythmic squawking percussion with crossmod on the VCOs. Each VCO can have more than 1 waveform enabled which is unlike the other jupiters. The MIDI is very poor, only note-on and off, so no pitchbend or mod. All recorded pitchbends need to be done in realtime, as I said it's a performance keyboard. The arp is very basic too, no famous random mode like JP-4 and JP-8.
Roland SH-2 - This was my first VCO based synth bought about 12 years ago. This has 2 VCOs (+ 1 sub). One VCO didn't work for the first few years, until I got around to fixing it. The SH-2 has the beautiful round sounding VCOs (similar to JP-4) and has an external audio into the filter. The filter envelope can be set to use the external input as a peak detector. This can be great for putting drums or anything through. Only 1 envelope and 1 LFO. I modded my SH-2 to have VCO sync and use the LFO to mod only 1 of the VCOs. This adds a whole new range of sounds to it. This synth is great for creating really solid bass sounds.

I am only using VSTi at the moment. I love using NI Reaktor 3 's IHL because it generates some amazing noise twisted and rough and unique. I tend to use IHL as an instrument to jam and improvise with another instrument such as a distorted electric guitar or alto saxophone. Last September I did some live recording with a friend who specializes in Architecture. She made some humming noise from a AM/FM radio and I accompanied the noise with NI Reakto 3's IHL. It sounds fantastic !
I also played my alto sax at the jam. The recording was a bit raw, lo-fi mono take and we uploaded to the soundcloud. Here is the site: Listen on Soundcloud.com
Hope you all like it.
