Korg Z1
Specifications:
Polyphony - 12 voices
Oscillators - 13 synthesis types, Multi-Oscillator Synthesis System (MOSS) tone generator found in the Korg Prophecy.
Standard Oscillator
A standard virtual analog oscillator, this oscillator generates the standard waveforms typically used by an analog synthesizer such as sawtooth waveforms, pulse waveforms, and triangle waveforms. Wave shaping is available to add various harmonic characteristics to the generated sound.
Comb Filter
This oscillator creates pitched sound from noise or an impulse. It can create a wide variety of sounds—not only noisy sounds, but also sounds ranging from synth-bass to strings.
VPM (Variable Phase Modulation)
Korg's own first version of phase modulation synthesis, producing digital timbres similar to the phase modulation synthesis (marketed as frequency modulation synthesis) made famous by Yamaha's DX line, Synclavier, and their successors.
Ring Modulation
This oscillator simulates ring modulation, a popular feature of analog synthesizers
Cross Modulation
Modeling frequency modulation (FM) between two analog oscillators. See also VPM above.
Oscillator Sync
This oscillator simulates hard oscillator sync, a popular feature of analog synthesizers.
Organ Model
A drawbar organ emulation with 3 stops per oscillator, yielding 6 stops using both oscillators.
Resonance
Noise is filtered through multiple notch filters to produce noisy organ-like timbres.
Electric Piano Model
This oscillator is a physical model of an electric piano such as the Fender Rhodes piano. Programmable parameters for the hammer include hammer force, hammer width, and hammer noise. For the tone generator, programmable parameters include decay time, release time, overtone level, overtone frequency, and overtone decay. For the electronic pickup, programmable parameters include pickup position in relation to the tone generator (such as a tine).
Brass Model
This oscillator is a physical model of a lip-reed instrument such as a trombone, trumpet, or tuba. Programmable parameters include Inst, which selects a previously modeled instrument to specify the length and shape of an instrument, Pressure, which changes the force of air being blown into the instrument, Lip, which replicates the tonality changes caused by the shape and tension of the player's lips, and Bell, which modifies the shape of the instrument's bell and creates the relevant tonal changes.
Reed/Wind Model
The reed model is a physical model of a woodwind reed instrument. Programmable parameters include Inst Type (giving you the choice of various physically modeled instruments: HardSax 1, HardSax 2, HardSax 3, SoftSax 1, SoftSax 2, DoubleReed 1, DoubleReed2, Bassoon, Clarinet, Flute 1, Flute 2, PanFlute, Ocarina, Shakuhachi, Harmonica 1, Harmonica 2, and Reed Synth) and programmable reed characteristics.
Plucked String Model
This oscillator is a physical model of a plucked string instrument such as a violin being played pizzicato or a guitar. Programmable parameters include adjustable attack parameters, damping parameters, decay parameters, string parameters such as string position, string dispersion, harmonics parameters, and various pickup parameters similar to those on the Electric Piano oscillator.
Bowed String Model
The bowed string model is a physical model of the scraping of a bow across a string on a stringed instrument such as the cello. Programmable parameters include bow speed and bow pressure. The bowed string model emulates various elements of a bowed string sound, such as attack harmonics, providing a more detailed sound than a typical sample-based synthesizer would normally be capable of.

Roland V-Synth GT
A favourite synthesizer, althoug it´s intended to be a better version of the older Roland V-Synth, I still prefer the old one.
It´s really nice to be able to take any wav-sample and convert it into a PCM wave-form and then apply all available filters. Time-stretching and formant-filtering by tweaking on the knobs can create previously unheard sounds.

Yamaha CS15
The only pure analogue synth. In the beginning I just found this synth to be a little bit too lame, but I have come to love the fact that it has bandpass/lopass and hi-pass filters which is really a nice feature. Unfortunately the resonance cannot be turned into self oscillation, but there still comes a lot of nice lead sounds out of this little beast. It plays an important role in the track "Love Insurance" on the album "Freedom of choice".

E-MU E5000 Ultra
Fitted with a Aztecmonster SCSI-CF-card adapter, with no need for any old crappy harddrive and no noise, and also being able to handle regular Windows FAT32 and reading wav-files makes this a perfect fit in the studio. It´s really easy to just move the CF-card beteen the synth and the PC and copy whatever samples needed on there without having to go through some slow transfer process which kills off the current inspiration.
