I basically started with an old Atari 1040ST, running a Cubase version from 1886 (my birthyear, lol) There was an old synthesizer connected to it from Roland, which my dad eventually sold a few years ago. Later, this little studio was upgraded by a Roland "Sound Canvas". It practically had the same sounds as the synthesizer, but with more FX and banks. The music was kind of happy dance with a synthpop-byte, later untrendy house.

My dad finally bought a microsoft-compatible computer and a new synth, the Yamaha PSR 740. And I still think that even the other two Roland synths had better sounds and warmer orchestral sounds.
On this equipment I started with trance & techno, although the sounds were constantly dissapointing.

Three year ago, I was given a Yamaha PSR 290... Obviously, it wasn't better than the PSR 740, but I finally discovered a good feature in the Yamaha-synths... Automation in Cubase 5 was very easy, and I was able to synthesize original sounds out of this basic learning keyboard. I also worked a lot with Acid, and didn't use any hardware-synths with it. With a whole lot of patience, I started creating my own world of Trance...

Just a few months ago, I've got myself the Roland Juno-D. I also had permission to use the old Yamaha PSR 740, for a dual MIDI possibility. The Juno-D had all that I had missed, those years after the millenium. After my track "No Problems", I don't feel like making Trance any more. I also use other software, like Cakewalk Sonar.

I know, I know... It's more of a history, but I felt like typing the whole thing while I was busy anywayz
