I already did a long-winded post talking about all my synths so I'll just stick to a list here: Nord Wave 2, Nord Lead 4, Nina, Prophet 12, Peak, Modwave, SH-4D, and Prologue.
I won't go into a retrospective on what I started with because I've sold all the early stuff, and a lot more since. It's been a long road to figuring out what I actually want and need in a synth.
Some other gear I use:
Damn that's a nice setup. Nord gear is so cool. What kind of stuff do you make/play?
I've always had a hard time describing my music. I guess I take influence mostly from 90s computer games, downtempo electronic/pop (think Rufus Du Sol, Pair of Arrows), and a little bit of EDM. I used to lean toward synthpop (Ladytron, Depeche Mode), but now all my music efforts are going into the soundtrack for an indie game I'm working on.
Very cool. Do you have it posted anywhere?
Also curious, what kind of game is it?
Everything I've posted online is super old at this point and my recent stuff is all WIP, but this is a good nudge to wrap up and post some stuff soon.
The game is Galactic Chef, a sci-fi cooking competition show game. The main hook is an open-ended voxel cooking simulation, so you can get creative in inventing your own dishes to meet each challenge. It's been a fun exercise coming up with different sound palettes for the different alien worlds you compete on.
Oh yes. I love those. I replaced the ear cushions a while ago for more than my daughters pay for their entire wireless headphones. But they are so comfortable and neutral-sounding. I hate artificially amplified bass frequencies.

This?
Yep!
I can definitely see the appeal. Perhaps when I have some cash to spare I'll look at it again 😊👍
If you don't care about it being wireless, the older wired-only version is $100 cheaper FYI. I don't see it on their site anymore, but you can get it on Amazon or B&H.
Ah cool, yeah the wireless thing probably wouldn't be so important as it would probably sit in the same spot all the time 😁
