You visiting Aus?
Moving there in Feb after a holiday in Bali. Probably Melbourne but still scoping it out.
Am still on my first OT, but it feels like the 5th one. We have such an on/off relationship. The is deep though.
I think Iāve owned a half dozen Monomachines (including a few SFX6ās), the Sidstation at least three times, and four or five Machinedrums (some UWās). the Octatrack, I got it when it first came out and just wasnāt all that into sampling, and didnāt use the midi sequencer, so I sold it. bought one about five years later and use the hell out of both āsidesā of it now. basically, my music changed and itās necessary now.
honestly I think Elektron gear is the only gear Iāve bought/replaced, with a couple exceptions. I think itās just that they all have a very distinct sound. if your style/approach changes, they may not fit it so well any more. outside of the Octatrack/Digitakt I guess, since they are what you put into them.
If you sold your first Octatrack then you are going to Hā¦
I been researching / lusting after other grooveboxes the past few days, a bit obsessively as you do
sp16, New rolands etc, and to be honest itās only made me appreciate my OT more.
bought and sold 2 MDās and then rebought the last one after I sold it from the same personā¦then sold it again later. Same with the MN
I can relate to that kind of carry on
Iāve been using 2 MK2s for the last 12 months. Terrific.
Iām selling one of them now though as Iāve moved to a RYTM and Octatrack pairing.
I fully understand the bond.
Iām on an Elektron rebuy trajectory now. Canāt say Iāll never sell again, but I do keep coming back to this remarkable gear.
Everyone in here posting about how theyāve bought and sold the same piece of gear 5 or 6 times, is this a cry for help? Not bashing, but this is legitimately very strange behavior. You do you though! But seriously what in the world
I donāt get it either
I really donāt understand why anyone would sell a piece of equipment they like even a single time. If you want to buy another piece of gear, just wait a little while and let the amount of money in your bank account grow larger. If you bought it and didnāt take the time to learn it the first time, sold it, and then re-bought it later with the intent to go deeper, alright. If you bought it and need the money urgently for an emergency, alright. But 5 or 6 times?!? What!?!? I canāt wrap my head around it. I hoard all my gear and even if I donāt use something for a year, two years, itās waiting for me when I want it.
Noā¦ well, not for me at least. With the MonoMachineā¦ on paper, it always looks amazing. Reality though is I just donāt gel with it / itās not for me. I just donāt like the core tone.
Four of those were MkIās; one was the SFX-6 Keyboard (Maybe Iād like it more with a keyboard? No), and one was the MkII (Maybe Iād like it more with user waves? No)
Sad thing is I see a seventh in my near future
If you donāt like the core tone, why are you planning on buying again?
I legitimately laughed out loud. I can contact a loved one on your behalf to -discretely- let them know that this cycle is occurring, just DM me.
