What synth have you bought more than one of?

[Mesmerised]

I have three MI Shruthis. Why? They're monophonic, easy to build and look very nice! Also they come in different flavours as all three have different filter models. (4-Pole Mission, Midnight Blue and the yellow delay thingie)
They're fun!

I also ended up owning two Oberheim Matrix 1000. Initially I failed to repair the first one so I got another broken one for cheap. I learned to fix that one and also managed to fix and improve the first. So I kept both and it puts a grin on my face when I play them in stereo L/R.

And I have two of the MI Ambika. Why? Just because!
I want to sell one of them but couldn't decide yet. (also different filter boards)

Too much gear - but haven't we all?

Very very nice! What improvements did you make?

I have put in a new PSU as mentioned here:
Matrix 1000 PSU replacement

and new battery holders.

I sold my DX7IIFD years ago and missed it so I recently snagged one with the grey matter E! mod. I liked it soo much that when I saw another one for cheap I jumped on it and now I gots a spare!

I currently have both hooked up to force me to program FM, but also to control my rack gear since these boards truly have the best action ever and are a real pleasure to play.

This topic makes me feel really stupid...

Slim phatty (5x, 4 simultaneously, 1 for flips)
Mopho (all flips except recent keys. 5 desktop, 1 keys)
Pro 1. Had 3 simultaneously back when they were under 1k. Regret selling
Analog 4. 2x and have both still (1is keys)
Voyager rme 4x simultaneously. Still have 1, but loved them mainly as multiple mono
T3 x3. Local shop was going out of business and got them for 1200 (on two of them) each. Flipped 2. Wish i kept the last one.
Have had three or Fr revos as well. Still. Have one. Sometimes you get lucky and one shows up for 300 O_o cant pass up a good deal when someone will give you 500 later...

I dont really shuffle stuff around anymore. It was fun when i could though. Ive been lucky enough to try out some really cool stuff with being out too much money. I never got to try a jp8 or an elka but meh...

I think I bought 7x FB-01s

All these others I bought twice: K2000, SY77, SixTrak, TX7, TX81z, Proteus 2

I have 2 DX7IIs too - I bought the second one for it's E! card. It was advertised as non-working - it just had dead battery.

Score, those finds are always nice. You ever use them together? I know there's an octal mode on the E! to stack 8 voices which I'm sure can get extremely fat on it's own. It probably won't be worth the effort but I might try a little detuning and panning to get an even bigger sound out of the 2 boards at once.

[adamstan]

No, currently I don't use the second one. It was "D" model, so I swapped E! card and original ROM between it and my "FD". I was going to sell it, but recently I catch myself on thinking "It would be nice to have two DXes side by side, so I could have two patches/performances available at once".

Speaking of multiple FM machines, I just added a second TX802. I had this idea of getting 8 of them so I'd have 128 note poly like my old TX816 that I sadly sold. But the reality is that even with two, I have 32 note poly and 16 part multitimbreal. Thats plenty. (Until I find another cheap TX802.)

[gmeredith]

I have 3 SM Pro V-machines. One at my studio, one at our rehearsal studio so I just take a USB stick with me of all the sounds, and one in the band's gigging rack.

I own two DW-8000s. The first one i bought in 1994 has seen better days.. section of keys stopped working.. weird (but kinda cool) warbling effect now and then.. so I saw one for sale on CL around here and bought it. The unit is in way better shape.

Having two DW-8000's play side by side sounds pretty awesome.

If there was a virtual version of it like the PolySix or others I would not have done it but I'm sentimental and figured some day it's going to die.. so I bought it. However for space sake I would consider selling off one, but the one I'd want to sell probably wouldn't fetch much since it's not in top shape.. so it's more valuable as a sound module.
