Hi Elektronauts,
There is this question in my head for some time now. It all started after I’ve bought a Digitone.
My setup before consisted of a hand full of VSTs, a KaossilatorProMK2 and an EMX1.
Not that I’ve been very productive with it then.
Apart from fiddling around with some loops and sounds, there was nothing to show for.
Over the last month I’ve sold the Kaossilator and the Electribe, added a Digitakt and a Monologue to the band and finally adopted an Analog Four MKII yesterday.
So, I really enjoy fiddling around with all this hardware and it is all sounding so nice.
Also learning the Elektron workflow and tricks is really fun.
But the question is still there.
Am I crazy, buying all that gear (not that it is ruining me. And I know I can sell it IF there would be an emergency) just to play around?
There is an urge to be productive. To build songs and release stuff. But most of the time, I’m playing round, maybe build a loop and be proud to got that managed.
What is your take on this?
