Thanks Ivo
I haven't recorded anything half-way serious yet, just mucking about with new technology. I aim to record an album of sorts soon - hopefully emulating something close to Clint Mansell's style and then Klause Schulze. I love his sequencer-based "Berlin old-school" recordings from the 70's. I'm just experimenting right now.
Hardware synths: I'm using A Moog Slim Phatty (full analogue), Doepfer Dark Energy (full analogue) as well as Dark Time analogue sequencer and a Waldorf Blofeld (digital wavetable).
Software (Mac-based): Embedded synths and patches in Apple Logic 9, Ableton Live 8, Cubase 4, MainStage and GarageBand. Add to those the one one I used here, GForce Software's standalone impOSCar2, MiniMonsta (Mini Moog reco) and Oddity (ARP Odyssey reco).
Software (iOS-based): Moog's Animoog and Filtatron, Alchemy, Sunrizer, NLogPro, Korg's iMS-20, iKaossilator and iElectribe, AuraFlux, FairlightPro, Seline, Akai SynthStation, SoundPrism, BeBot, MorphWiz, SampleWiz and GeoSynth from Jordan Rudess (Dream Theatre), CoreSynth, CrystalSynth, Xenon, NoiseIO, Aeolian Harp, improVox, GarageBand, Amplitube, iShredLive, SixStrings,Genome MIDI, iSequence, MidiMonitor, FunkBox, Cascadr, LittleMidi, touchABLE (Live control surface), MixTiki, TouchOSC, Phaedra, SweetMIDI, EG-DR808, SampleTank, ThumbJam, iMaschine, MixrDJ, AddictiveSynth, iDrum, WIorchestra, LoopyHD, Performer, Drums! and MidiBridge. All of these are phenomenal instruments and MIDI controller/sequencers. Thank goodness for CoreMIDI.
Ingrid - no, I won't just yet. If I decide to get out of astronomy though, there's going to be an absolute PILE of gear on the market.
Simon - excellent pick up. Line6 stuff is great - I use their Mobilizer II on my phone to connect MIDI via cable to my MOTU controller rather than ad-hoc when required. Don't underestimate GarageBand - it's quite incredible for what it is. You might get the midiO plugin that lets GB pass MIDI CC messages to an external MIDI device - something it doesn't normally do.
What's he getting? 
. Quirky music though (
).
