Piano and organ that's where it started in my professional career in the early 1970’s when the only keyboards were Hammonds and Fender Rhodes. The pic on the top right is in the farmhouse in Brampton 1974 with my Hammond Porta-B and my 1888 Heintzman cabinet grand that came out of the Nickelodeon Tavern on Yonge Street. The MiniMoog came out and revolutionized the industry. I marched along side the progression first with the Polymoog which quite frankly wasn’t very good but then the Oberheim OB-X I paid $6000 for the first analogue 8 voice synthesizer with programble presets. Then came MIDI so in 1985 all my non MIDI boards had to go and moved me into the famous Yamaha DX7, guitar-like KX-5 controller rackmount Korg M1R and Roland U220 and the march throught the evolution of drum machines in 1980 it was a beat box with buttons for different styles then the Roland TR 808, Linn Drum, EMU Drumulator and Alesis HR-16. In 1995 I bought a Kurzweil PC88mx which had it all. I added a Nord Lead 3 synth which I describe as a MiniMoog on steriods and a Hammond XL-1 organ module both replaced by a Kurzweil PC3LE8 in 2016. I bought a Casio XW-P1 in 2017 to work with bands as a sideman again but found the organ sounds not good enough so in the summer of 2018 bought a Hammond XK-2 which I love and brought me back full circle. I have MOTU MX4, Korg M1, Oberheim OBXD and other software plugin synths for recording. All these multi keyboard setups have been downsized by workstations now and software synths that do it all especially in the studio and sample synths are what most modern keyboardists use. I recently in March 2022 added a Novation MiniNova and an Ensoniq ESQ-1, in July 2018 a 30lb Hammond XK-2 that replaced the 450lb C3 I lugged around with not one but 2 150lb 122 Leslies in the 1970's going full circle to the organ-piano (now multi-synth) combo that's a must for any live keyboardist-orchestrator. The bottom pics are my current rig along with my horns.
