This Year: MORE Gear!

The Lounge General Discussion
1

While everybody is talking about focus and reducing gear: I think THIS is the year to buy the missing pieces in your rig!

Some thoughts - only on hardware

  • Covid won’t make it easier to get your item of choice! Even not in a past pandemic scenario.
    (Mutable Instruments Plaits 13-17 weeks delivery??? MAAANY other Modules as well, Behringer RD9?, Erica Perkons?)

  • Vintage gear is getting more and more expensive (MD / MnM?).
    I would not expect a decrease in prices. Never - even for gear that is still produced.

  • Owning is better than needing. If you don’t need it - sell it!

The best day to buy gear was yesterday!

Cheers!

I’m weighing a few big purchases (have been for a few years actually, let’s just say I have a lot of cash saved up) but I’m not pulling the trigger on anything until after my Osmose comes in. If I find that I can’t live without MPE once I have it, I may change my mind on what I’m thinking about.

been there from late 2018 to mid 2021.
slightly out of space in my gear closet, but will definitely add some items in 2022 as well.

I still want a sweet hardware poly.

Moog One is what comes to mind first.
:grin:

Just waiting for the module,… that probably never comes!

I went way overboard with synths/drum machines/samplers last year. Getting more of those would be a mistake. I could still do with a mixer, cables, stands or shelves, and perhaps a couple of fx.

I think I could see myself buying some gear in 2022… :thinking:

Theoretically ima side with this crew - if only that I don’t have any money for gear at the moment :joy:

I díd put aside enough money for a pair of second hand Genelec 8040s (if they go cheap enough), but I’m hanging on to that money until this spring’s annual income tax date. If there’s no surprises there - I’m getting próper monitors finally!

I think this year I will sell all elektron stuff since I prefer no screens, no patch memory and no other way to prepare than practice.

Never sold my a4 (only time I sold was to upgrade to mk2).

I bought matriarch, made me happy
I bought dfam and subharmonicon, feels great but didn’t get real music out of it yet

A4 with matriarch is amazing
But I don’t like setting up templates, menus and rotary pods. , elektron always gave me so much, especially the a4 helped me to understand.
