Overview of all equipment:
Roland U-20 the Roland U-20 is a keyboard made in 1991, with 64 performances, 128 presets, usable for all the common sounds like piano, strings, pads, etc.
the Roland Alpha Juno-2 is a synthesizer from 1989 with 128 presets (64 user), it sounds good for all kind of sweeps, synthbasses, etc. (spacy sounds).
Atari 1040 ST(E) computer with Cubase 2.1 sequencer software

Roland JP-8000, one of the best synths in the new generation of analogue synthesizers, very powerfull, good trance and space sounds. Chosen in 1997 as the best synthesizer of the year.
The Nord Modular from Clavia is actualy more than a synthesizer as we are used to. It is a modular system which you use to build your own components for the synthesizer. For this you use your PC and editor software and the amount of variations is really infinite.
Korg Z1, follow up to the Korg Prophecy, but than a polyphonic multitimbral version with a programmable arpeggiator. Good for subtile sounds, weird sounds and fat sounds as well (think of those distorted sounds like the Prodigy has made).
Roland JV-1010, a small module with all the sounds from the much bigger JV-2080, even 256 sounds more (from the 'session' expansion card).

Other equipment I used in the past:
Roland JV-2080, a module with a lot of sounds (more than 500) and 8 slots for expansion cards. The quality of the sounds is very good, to change them a bit there are filters and effect processors, but despite this fact the module stays a bit 'black box'.
Roland Juno-106, a synthesizer made in 1988, a bit like the Alfa Juno, the sounds are more powerfull, more direct, but less spacy. Looks a bit too much like a 'toy'.
Boss DR-202, a drumcomputer, with samples from the famous TR-808 & TR-909, even some TB-303 bass sounds. Usefull for techno/trance/dance music.

New equipment I use now:
Novation Supernova: Lots of spacy trancy sounds and lots of knobs to change them.
Korg MS-2000: Virtual analogue retro synth to recreate Korg MS-20 sounds (used by Jean-Michel Jarre in the 70's)
