Me too, so in the past we've bought bare-bones drum machines that have
good sounds. My favorite for this is the alesis sr-16. Works well
with a sequencer (not much wizzy drum-machine programming to get in
your way) and had pretty good sounds.
For a mixer, the best value I've seen is Mackie... they make a great
12 and 16 channel line mixer. I got my 12 channel for less than $300.
For sequencing we use maa mac with ster tracks pro. Sorry, Jon :-)
Our synths are an ensoniq VFX and ESQ-1. They complement each other
nicely, and the ESQ-1 is so much fun and easy to program that I'd
recommend everyone grab one. IMHO, of course. They have the
advantage of being cheap too.
We haven't done anything in a while (priorities have changed, etc,
etc) but I have a friend with an EPS and a wavestation who
might move down soon, and that should be very interesting :-)
