i have two Presonus Fireboxes, a Sytek MPX-4Aii preamp module (with Burr 
Brown 3-4) and a CM Labs Motor Mix. I used to have an M-Audio Trigger 
Finger, but sold it to a friend with the intent of getting an Akai 
MPD-24, but i put the money towards the preamp instead. (I do a lot of 
recording)

I used to run a Tascam FW-1884 and an Mbox 1.0).

I run the stereo out from the Fireboxes into an old Sony stereo receiver 
with what are probably pretty cheap speakers in the scheme of stereo 
speakers.

I also have a cheap Yamaha analog 12 channel mixer with.... 6 i think? 
preamps.

i use a doepfer pocket dail and an m-audio firewire audiophile, which is 
flaky.

i recently got a 3d connexio space navigator to use as a 6-axis midi 
controller, but i haven't figured out what i;m going to use it for yet.

and i just started rocking a gameboy with nanoloop 1.3. woot.

I am using my monome for Live performances (well I will be)  my live 
setup will probablly be Ableton Live 6 (EMU 1212m card w/ behringer 
ad/da box), the monome, a behringer bcf2000, 3 Boss sp-202s, a korg KP3, 
a little behringer mixer and a couple of rack mounted effects units. 
Plus one more person and his gear.

In the studio i've also got a Nord Rack 2x, EMU XL7, Redsound Elevata, 
Korg EA-1 Kawai K1r, Casio CZ-101, Roland R8m, Akai XE8, (and some 
retired 80's drum machines, 626, 727 ddd-1) I've also got a 4 mono 10 
stereo sound craft mixer and KRK RP5 monotors.

I too use a flaky M-Audio FW Audiophile, but have just picked up an 
MPC500 which i'm looking forward to syncing up with some of the Monome 
aps. A Novation Zero SL provides my MIDI control but I would like a 
Pocket Dial to keep my set-up as compact and portable as possible.

lately:  monome into laptop running Reaktor, with built-in audio!

i also have and occasionally use both m-audio and evolution x-session 
controllers.  i have an m-auidio 410 audiointerface that i cant use (no 
vista drivers!), also an m-audio fasttrack usb that i CAN use in Vista, 
but its usually not worth the trouble, my bui;t-in sounds is better (DX 
drivers and all).

home sewtup is a 1.8ghz XP box with an Echo MiaMIDI soundcard, using 
mostly Reaktor and Max.  I use the MIDI on the the soundcard to connect 
to an Alesis Micron modeling synth for some work but mostly use Reaktor.

portable is a PowerBook G4 using built-in soundcard, also Reaktor/Max, 
no MIDI, yet.
