For controllers I use a Korg R3 that I use to record into Logic.

I also have a Akai MPD32 and Akai MPD18 which are both pad controllers.

and for Analog synths I also use the R3 as a Vocoder and analog synth along with a Alesis Micron.

I like that R3. After playing with it at the music shop, it seems like a really decent piece of kit for the price.

When I went Akai though, I did it proper: I bought a 2000xl and a 2500 :)

Novation Xio25 and a Native Instruments Maschine. And Sony Acid 5.0. Im trying to see if I want to switch to Reaper or Live, but I might be too set in my ways...

(I produce under Ghoul, FYI)

Ableton Live, Akai APC40, Event TR8 monitors, and for the moment a Pioneer DJM300 mixer.

Upcoming live show will feature all the other shit plus an MPD24, Akai LPK25 (for vocal/synth stutters), and some video shit.
