Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Dale you have always had a great setup ;-)>

For me, it's three racks like so top to bottom:

Prophet
PEK
Yamaha S90ES

Nord G2X
Nord Wave
Nord Stage 73

Moog Voyager
Moog Phatty
Korg M3/Radias combined in the 76 key housing

There's so much more, but that's the keyboard pit I choose to 
use...I am often reminded of my hero Rick Wakeman and his early 
days...I love the configuration of the keyboard pit...saw it in 
ELO as well...it has a very strong pull for me.

the back rack is typically effects, routing and processing that I 
can merge/switch in and out...including Moogerfoogers and more.

There is another workstation here, Fusion 88.
