Welcome!

These pages are about my fascination with vintage gear and computers. It's also about being cheap and getting the most out of nothing! For the same reasons I find it extremeley satisfactiory to cook a good meal from leftovers and things already in the cupboards. Or making the white rack in the picture below from spare materials. All I bought was the rack rails, the rest was stuff I had laying around. It's about putting old gear to good use in a modern setting, and it's about not wasting good money on expensive stuff that can be replaced by yesterdays technology. I suppose I do it for these reasons:

1. I'm cheap :-)
2. I can't afford the newest stuff. 
3. I like tinkering with old electronics.
4. Recycling instead of buying new things.
5. The fascination of bringing old and new together. 

My homemade rack

I put together this nice rack and filled it with some very nice pieces of equipment that I have bought rather cheap. In the picture you see:

1. Boss RDD-10 digital delay

2. Emagic amt8 MIDI interface

3. AKAI S3000XL sampler

4. Korg M3R sound module

5. Roland U220 sound module

Below the rack is the modern domain: A Mac Mini and a Native Instruments Komplete Audio 6 audio interface.

I thought it would be nice to document some of the things I find out along the way about all these lovely gadgets. And also some of the other stuff i have lying around. More on that later! I have become rather fond of MIDI sound modules from the 80's and 90's and I plan on adding more modules to my setup.

I hope You will enjoy reading about my experiences with my gadgets and feel free to share your thoughts or ask any questions.
