Bill W Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 For me, it's probably the Integra-7 for $990 (the only synth I bought all year). I'm not really using it for much right now, but it's loaded with great sounds and I didn't have any Roland gear in my studio for the first time in more than 30 years. A close 2nd would be buying HammondDave's Vent II (followed by Hardware's Burn). Korg Kronos 61 (2); Roland Fantom-06, 2015 Macbook Pro and 2012 Mac Mini (Logic Pro X and Mainstage), GigPerformer 4.

Krakit Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I bought my Roland FA-08 and my Korg M3 in 2015. I'd say they were the best buys of my lifetime. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

churchkeybob Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 My best buy of 2015 was this; http://www.ebay.com/itm/181929414513?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I put a ssd and ram in it and it works perfectly. I've been wanting to experiment with cantible for a while now and this machine should be fine for that. ~BOB I'm practicing so that people can maybe go "wow" at an imaginary gig I'll never play. -Nadroj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyB3 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Just got the iConnect MIDI4+ last week - fantastic for integrating iPAD audio, USB, and MIDI. Especially with the iConfig and PortManager apps! But I think my best buy was the WindPlug 1 software for the Apple Logic ES2 SoftSynth: http://www.patchmanmusic.com/AppleES2.html The patches were done by Matt Traum who programmed for Michael Brecker. Brecker used the ES2 controlled by an Akai EWI. For now I just use a controller knob mapped to breath control (02). The TEC breath with bite controller has been sold out: http://www.tecontrol.se/products/usb-midi-breath-bite-controller that will be a buy for 2016 - after the Mojo!) Anyway, the programming is wonderful (it has many signature Brecker EWI sounds) and really reminded me of what a great synth the ES2 is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordstrom Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 The TEC breath with bite controller has been sold out: http://www.tecontrol.se/products/usb-midi-breath-bite-controller that will be a buy for 2016 That is an absolutely great device. I've had it for a while and it has never ceased to amaze me. Get your hands on one as soon as you can, it's a small company and it seems they can't make them fast enough. I also had to wait before getting one. There is a good review video here: http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2015/02/21/bbc-puts-bite-into-your-music/ "If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom or dad, teacher, priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it."
