Boss RE-20 Space Echo. It never gets old.
Sustain Pedal. It HAS to be there or something is missing.
Keywear keyboard covers. It's a dusty, dusty world.
Surge protector. I wonder too much about ac power transients, especially when the HVAC unit kicks on/off and I can see the room light flicker.

It does as soon as you try a Timefactor actually.garranimal wrote:Boss RE-20 Space Echo. It never gets old.

It reminds people what I play in the band when they're talking to me at the bar after our set.

Cables, otherwise it's all a fairly pointless endeavor.

Re: Favorite synth accessories?
Does a good set of speakers count...
...that's an accessory right?
But more seriously, a tape delay and an old spring reverb are a lot of fun on synths
