OK...

So I don't need another synth
I really can't afford or justify another one at the moment
I have way too many as it is
I don't really know where I'll store it
I don't really know how or when I'm going to use it

But - I am now the owner of a Kawai K5000s ... if this thing lives up to all of the hype then I'll be a happy chap.

A 3rd gen Oxygen 61 that barely works. The Guitar Center listing didn't say anything about buying as-is, it seemed like it was in pretty good condition other than some yellowed keys. So yeah, that sucks. It's getting returned sometime this week.

A 1959 Hammond M-3 tonewheel organ, in very good cosmetic and operating condition :D Just need to break out the Deoxit and clean up the drawbars and a couple of the key contacts and it'll be good as new!

Hardly vintage, but a Roland VR-09b is in transit to my house.

I bought a joyo american sound pedal. It's supposed to be a 57 Fender deluxe simulation in an analog pedal. Hoping I can run my wurlitzer and rhodes through that for direct recordings at night!

Only recently discovered this amazing device and managed to find it second-hand with SL License installed. Rotary encoders all seem to be working but I ordered replacements so I can renew them as I plan on keeping this baby for some time :D

Not vintage by any means, but did pick up a Boog D to go with my Neutron and Beatsep pro..

Not so much a purchase but I've just aquired a Roland Juno G from a friend who's no longer in need of it and wouldn't take any cash for the synth .

There's a slight issue with the screen display ,which I've come to understand is a common fault with these machines.

It's still super usuable,been impressed with some of the voices although I've only had it for a week now .. testing is going pretty good so far.

Got a Behringer Odyssey. Can't really compare it to the original ARP as I've never played one, but it sounds great and is built like a tank.

I got a Arturia Microfreak, which is actually a nice little synth with a much bigger range than i'd thought.

Tried a Neutron.
I am going to replace it with a dreadbox or other compact patchable mono, due to it's OS freezing issue(s) and other minor things.

Maybe go for the AS Impulse Command or the Norand.
I will be having a HydraSynth in the near future .

I purchased a Roland D110 in June this year and then the official patch cards. Then, last week I picked up a PG-10 which is being shipped from Japan. Hoping to use my A800 Pro to run the whole thing because that was what made my decision on the D110.

I am targeting to buy a TX816. I have been told it is a good one. :D

My most recent musical purchase was an Akai DR4d digital 4 track recorder with installed 200MB HDD.

The HDD is terribly audible, so I expect my next musical purchase will be a SCSI2SD (though it looks like rev6 are currently sold out, so I'll sit on my hands a bit).
