I'm always amazed what my own parents were doing at my current age. Life in general was very different just one or two generations ago... although somethings stay the same. Hi Reinaldo. I’m always amazed what my own parents were doing at my current age. Life in general was very different just one or two generations ago… although somethings stay the same.

I had an Atari 512 ST and the software was... I do not remember but the second one was master tracks! then I got a Yamaha keyboard, then a Kawai K1. My father was a fireman but as well he pleased me with everything. I loved the Kawai because it has a joystick. Then my first sampler was an Ensoniq ASR-10. A music teacher had the Roland S50 and it came with some depeche mode sounds!!! I wanted to buy an Emax 2 sampler but some one bought it first and I got the Ensoniq that ended up being so much beter. I am about to buy all those keyboards again. It was so painfull for my father to buy them, I have no clue how he did now that I am 33, and I never ended up being a musician, I am editing video. God bless him. My first keyboard was a Casio MT something, it has a midi port, that was back in 1986 I think.

My first synth was the Oberheim Matrix-6, in 1986, and from my father as well. :) I still have it. It's where my alias and the name of my site came from. Nice post.
