Mechanical and electromechanical Instruments
R.Lipp Upright Piano	Thats where it all began when I was five years old; this is a beautiful upright Piano with diagonally span strings, so the bass strings are as long as in a baby grand	N	N	;-)	N
Ibanez Musician, 6-string electric guitar	When I became 20 years I wanted a guitar; a friends brother sold this beatiful early 70ies piece; very warm sounding. I added for every humbucker pickup two switches, one reverses the phase of the more middle spool, the other switches of the other spool.	N	Y	N	N
Casio MG510, 6 String electric guitar, with MIDI Interface	For me this is in the first point a nice black stratocaster style guitar (the guitar is a Ibanez); the MIDI part is not that exciting; I bought it because I wanted to play guitarlike phrasings with the synths. I found it at least easier to play these phrasings on a synth, than pressing my guitar play under the inconvenience of the MIDI-converter; perhaps one day I will abuse the pickup for some analogue stuff...	N	Y	N	N
Hohner TS-12, 12 String electric guitar	Black Telecaster shaped beaty; I removed the built in passive electronic (which made the guitar sound very "birds"-like) and did the same that I did with the Ibanez	N	Y	N	N
Hohner headless Bass	A copy of the famous Steinberger 4 string bass; fine piece	N	N	N	N
Hohner Clavinet D6	Uuuuh, thats one of the things I use to show the ladies what the word "funky" really means	N	N	N	N
Synthesizers
Korg MonoPoly	A real dream of an analoge MonoSynth	Y	Y	Y	N
Moog Prodigy	Classic monophonic Synth. I replaced the analogue Keyboard-electornic by an MIDI-Out -> MIDI-In. by Doepfer CTM64 and MCV4 So it is still playable like a normal Prodigy but can be integrated fully in a MIDI-Setup.	N	Y	N	N
Doepfer A100 Modular System	fine stuff, some modifications, some pre series release modules, some self done modules. There are some pictures of a portable version of the A100, I used while a music event in munich.	Y	N	Y	N
Doepfer MS404	modified with additional crossmodulation, gate to VCA	Y	N	Y	N
Roland JX3P	heavily modified	Y	Y	Y	N
Roland SH-101	not real mine, but the friend to whom it belongs knows it in good hands; added a parallel switch matrix to the keyboard for a pedal	Y	N	N	N
Roland SH-2	Classic monophonic Synth	N	N	Y	N
Roland System 100	Classic semi modular Synth. I own the Modules 101, 102 and 104 (Sequencer)	Y	N	Y	N
Roland RS-09	Classic string machine.	N	N	Y	N
Korg Polysix	Polyphonic synth. This one I bought broken in parts and it is missing the programmer section. I want to build it up to become a non programmable synth	N	N	Y	N
(Ensoniq ESQ-1)	fine machine, gave it away to Rainer Buchty (www.buchty.net). I used the sequencer for live sequencing on stage.	N	Y	Y	N
Formant Modular System	soldered with my own hands	Y	N	Y	N
Nord Modular	My first DSP-based synthesizer. Great toy.	N	N	N	N
Waldorf Microwave I	Classic Wave-Table Synthesis module. I have to admit, that i do not use it much. I you want it it, make me an offer	N	N	N	N
(Polymoog)	I gave my polymoog to a guy from the synth diy maillist, but i still own the schematics and may help some people, so it is listed here. UPDATE: I found scanned schematics in the web at www.analoghell.com; since the download there does not work always, I provide them here too download	N	N	Y	N
Samplers
Akai S612	Old Sampler extended with a multisampling option. Very easy to handle, I use this small sampler the most; fine editor programm for Atari for the S612/S700 by Harald Plontke. The program is also available for the X7000. These applications run also perfect under Windows if used within a Windows-Emulator like STEem (I recommend to run the emulation with TOS 2.06).	Y	N	N	N
Casio FZ-1	This is a working horse; modified the sampling input for brighter sound	Y	N	Y	N
(Ensoniq Mirage DSK8)	I wanted to have a 8Bit Sampler, it sounds quite rough (with little modification on the VCF), but I used it only twice a year. I gave it away to Rainer Buchty (www.buchty.net)	Y	N	Y	N
Electric drums and drum machines
Boss DR55	Nice little, step programmable drum machine. This was the first piece I modified after building the Formant	Y	N	Y	N
Sound Master Drumatix ST355	Nice little, step programmable drum machine. Similar to the DR-55, but with extended memory and more and different sounds. At the moment I am in adding some 16-Step sequence editing.	Y	N	N	N
Roland TR808	No comment needed; additional trigger in and outs, several plans for modification	Y	N	Y	N
Jomox XBase09	This is a highly recommended machine	N	N	N	N
(Tama TS305)	Drum synthesizer; I sold this one. I am not sure whether I won't regret this. I really liked this machine.	N	N	Y	N
Dynacord Percuter	Edrum expander which got his sounds from 8Bit EPROM modules, sounds a littlebit like the LINN 1	N	N	N	N
Dynacord Percuter S	Edrum expander which got his sounds from 8Bit EPROM modules, the difference about the "S" is that all sounds are tunable individually	N	N	N	N
Dynacord Big Brain	Drum-Sequencer for the Percuter Series	N	N	N	N
Sequencers and Syncboxes
Roland SBX 10	Syncbox for MIDI <-> DIN-Sync <-> Clock	N	N	N	N
Roland SBX 80	Syncbox SMPTE-LTC -> MIDI -> DINSYC -> Clock	N	N	N	N
Roland CSQ-100	CV/Gate Sequencer	N	N	N	N
Roland CSQ-600	CV/Gate Sequencer (partially broken)	N	N	N	N
Additional I should mention that I work with emagics/Apple's Logic V7.2 on a Powerbook G4 and Sounddiver V3.x on an Win98 PC 800MHz, I use the UMT-8 interface. For live I use Ableton Live 6.x and the sequencers in the SH-101 and JX3P.
Recording and Mixing gear
Yamaha 2408M	24 channel InLine console, 3 band parametric EQ; I solved some earthing problems, modified aux sends and the tape-subchannel, that can be used now as additional routable auxsend	Y	N	Y	N
Studiomaster 16-4-2	Nice console with parametric bass and mid EQ, I started an extensive modification which I didn't finish since I have the Yamaha - shame on me.	Y	N	Y	N
Speck Xtramix	Highend stereo summing mixer	N	N	N	N
Behringer RX1602	simple 8-Stero in Stereo rack mixer. I use two of it for summing the individual stereo signals from the other musicians of out live shows	N	N	N	N
Behringer MX882	8-2-8 Mixer Distributor. I use it in my live rack to separate the signals for audience, recording and monitor	N	N	N	N
Behringer MX802	Small 2Mic 2 Stereo in Stereo mixer. I use it in my repair room as monitor	N	N	N	N
Behringer MX1602	Small 4Mic 4 Stereo in Stereo mixer. This is my live Mixer	N	N	N	N
Roland SRV-2000	Fine Reverb on its own, but - my Roland Dimension D is constantly patched in series to it - a dream of a reverb	N	N	N	N
Roland Dimension D (SDD-320)	The best stereo chorus ever built.	N	N	N	N
Digitech TSR24-S	True-Stereo Multieffect processor, I bought it as TSR24 with 10 MHz and extended it to the S-Version by the kit from Tubetester	N	N	N	N
Korg R1000	Preset Reverb old stuff, makes fine noise	N	N	N	N
Dynacord DRP-15	Multieffects processor, on my humble opinion better sounding than the Digitech and easier to handle	N	N	N	N
Yamaha 2020	Stereo compressor	N	N	N	N
Höf Dynamic Master	The best limiter leveler I ever heard. I use it for my live reecordings. (and for the people who search without german umlauts: HOF Dynamic Master)	N	N	N	N
Langensee Compressor Limiter	This is a clone of a UREI 1178. It is very well done by a german hobbiest. Check ebay for the seller langensee.	N	N	N	N
Alesis ModFX	Filtre,Phlngr,Faze, Smashup(2), Bitrman - I really like those small boxes. The Bitrman is a hidden gem, and the smashup is a real cool compressor, Faze and Phlngr are ok, but not the greatest ones of their kind.	N	N	N	N
MXR Pitch Transposer	I worked with it in the eighties and always wanted to have one again. so I ecently grabbed one on e*ay (don't ask for the price, but its worth to me)	N	N	N	N
Dynacord VRS-23	An analogue delay based on BBDs. This delay produces very smooth reverb and Chorus effects, and I use it a lot.	N	N	Y	N
Boss DL-20	Footpedal delay effect. It is a nice remake of the famous RE-201. It is not perfect, but very close. The biggest lack is the short predelay before the reverb, and: if you enter a delay time via tapping, you will loose it after changing the "head"-selector knob.Nevertheless a very fine delay	N	N	N	N
Boss SL-20	A MIDI-Clocked Slicer and Looper. This is the biggest fun effect, since a long time. I use it with my RS-09 and it does endless trance stuff. REALLY REALLY GREAT!	N	N	N	N
(Vestakaza DIG-420)	An digital delay. This delay is interesting because it provides an CV and Gate input and can be used for karplus strong synthesis within analog modular systems. I meanwhile sold this unit. But keep it here since there is only a few info in the Web about it.	N	Y	N	N
Vestax M2002	Disco mixer with Delay and Sampling unit - I use this for monitoring but also for DubEffects.	N	N	N	N
Studer PR 99 MK I	1/4" tape recorder, I added tuning for the high frequency measurement, as it is realized in the PR99 MKII	Y	N	Y	N
Yamaha DT2	DAT Recorder	N	N	N	N
Sony ???	CD Player	N	N	N	N
