Two of the best Casios ever.

I bought the sk1 on ebay, I was kinda drunk, I totally forgot it for days, imagine my "surprise" when I had the "We sent you the SK1 today".
Probably one of the best thing I bought last year !

I love drunk ebay purchases.
I borrowed an old bandmate's SK1 for a long time and loved it. There is endless fun in that thing!

I buy everything when I'm drunk or I'm under the effect of the halcion...

looking for a small-ish polyphonic synth

the mininova is looking good but what else is out there in the same price range?

if it doesnt have to be new the Alesis Micron is hard to beat. and cheap!

I have a Korg R3, you can usually find them for $100-$150 more than you'd pay for a Micron/Miniak/Microkorg. Totally worth it, it's definitely one of the best things in that size group. I've owned the Micron, the Microkorg, and the Novation K Station, and I like it better than any of them now that I've gotten to know my way around it. It doesn't have drum kits like the Micron, but I have other things that are way better for that. The stock sounds are not that great, but I recently downloaded and installed a whole bunch of new sounds for it from korgforums.com, and there is some really nice stuff to be had, including plenty of Microkorg, MS2000/MS2000B and Radias patches. The Korg Germany collection is also top notch, way better than the Korg USA expansion pack.

I've been running it into an Echoplex EP-3 and a Strymon BlueSky and loving it.

How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking??? I am looking into getting one. My first synth!

I was running my OP-1 through some pedals and my drum machine through the FIlterBank2

They're pretty much a grand everywhere I could find.

thanks the R3 is now top on my list

Right on! why is the Little Phatty more? does it have some crazy ass features or something?

The little phatty has an arpeggiator, and I think you can use OSC. 2 as a modulation source. It's also got like a billion presets. I have both, but I haven't fucked with the little phatty in a long time. Other people I play with use it quite a bit.

I just got this last week. I've got a Korg DS8 coming in that i bought on accident. LOL.

For the modular fans...

I wanted to fit two Box11 boxes together. Synthesizers.com sells wood side pieces for the Box 11, but $65/pair (straight) or $95/pair (angled) times two seems pretty steep.
Hit up Home Depot, got two 12"x12" joints, pack of nuts/bolts, and metal drill bit. Total cost about $20. I THINK IT WILL WORK.
