Current 3-piece dream setup

Which 3 pieces of gear would you get or keep if anything goes? DAW not included but it should be used only to record and not as a sound source. Not counting controllers either, such as Hapax or a midi keyboard. Also, let’s try to keep it on sound sources so no FX pedals unless you feel they are critical to have.

I would get:
-Digitone 2
-bass guitar
-electric guitar

AK is cool af. If I didn’t have so many semimodular monos already I would jump on A4, and might do so anyways. Great other choices too but it’s just a dream scenario so I’ll let you upgrade to the Digitone 2!

I’m ridiculously happy with my current setup:
DTII – DNII – OT

How big a modular case counts as one piece of gear?

Jeez, forgot you modular freaks. 90HP 3U is one.

90hp x 3u against a DN2? I can’t play this game

You can always get the digitone :sunglasses:

Right now on my desk is:

Mood MkII
OP-XY
Syntakt

I’m about to sell everything else.

Are you using the OT as a performance mixer like ezbot? Great choices.

Is Mood a sound source? Let us not include FX pedals.

Alright! But I often hold loops in it that become their own thing.

Then… I have a RND synth currently in customs / DHL hell. That might be here soon.

I have the Digitone! That’s how I know it’s not a level playing field.

Exactly! I didn’t get around going deeper into the OT yet as I’m focused on finishing compositions on the other two devices. But I want to get into its guts once I have the other stuff ready. What an insane combo, I still feel like I have endless ideas to explore… those lovely elektrons triggered some chain reaction in my brains I can not explain :exploding_head:

Actually I had the DN2 (twice!) but prefer the DN1 (e25 edition in my case.)

How come? I also use the FM-Tone basically always but they improved other aspects too. Third LFO, 8 bars, more filters, more voices and tracks so you don’t have to soundlock.

The simple elegance of the UI. I generally don’t need the added functionality of the Mk2, although a third LFO would come in handy sometimes.

Actually looking around, if I really could only have three of the things here (besides fx units and DAW) I’d probably go:

AK
DN1
Vermona DRM1 mk4

BUT if we’re talking about any three things on the market, I’d have to reconsider. One would still be the AK, it’s my desert island synth. Would have to think about the other two… would probably be unobtanium pieces like the Waldorf Wave and Baloran’s The River.
