Wow, that is an incredible amount of gear. And everything looks so neat.

Very nice, love the 808 and 909, I kick myself today for selling my emax sampler, you don't see many of them in the wild nowadays.

Nice rig!

Awesome! I agree with Castaway, very neat and tidy. Usually setups like this have cables everywhere and are quite messy. Well done!

Does the NES work?

Thanks a lot for the nice comments! The NES works perfectly, although it's not plugged in at the moment. My idea is to use it with the Midines hardware / cartridge interface for complete MIDI control of the NES sound chip.

Very nice. I agree with Castaway and smiggs. See my studio in the Mac Mini setup photos (John M's mini setup). Not as elaborate, but great for what I do. Is that an emachine at the bottom?

@ munsongeek: Thank you. And no, it's an old no-name PC, built by a local musical instrument store and used for sequencing in the late 90s..

Excellent and clean!

How pleased are you on a scale of 1 to 10 with how well you mac mini handles your music composition?

I think I would give it a strong 9. It's stable enough with its 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB of RAM (for Ableton Live I recommend at least 1 GB of RAM), and coupled with the 23" Apple Cinema HD Display and a Focusrite Saffire LE firewire soundcard it feels really nice.
