With the knobs removed :rofl:

I love actress.

is that a Digitakt or Digitone? I know he used the latter on one of his more recent LPs. Not that it matters much.

Got that beer way over in the safe zone too. As long as a cat doesn’t hop up there, that is…

It’s a digitakt, the trigs are square.

I discovered his music only a few months ago and still can’t understand how it flew under my radar for so long. Now i’m a huge fan.

If machinedrum and monomachine would be easy to get i probably would have them here right now just because i know Actress used them.

But especially with his music the more i listened to it the more i realized it doesn’t matter what gear was used. There are a few sounds that can be linked to a specific device but that’s not what’s special about the music i think.

Still cool to see he also uses other Elektron stuff.

I use this track to test turntables. It will sound like shit if the deck isn’t set up right and/or is load of audiophile toss designed for mid-life crisis beer gut numpties with too much money:

Think it’s mostly MonoMachine on there.
