Yeah, let the home schooling begin right. I surfed through synths for a few years figuring out what I liked and never liked using my computer for composing and got the OT so I could throw all of my random noodles on it after learning the DT.

Digitone and Machinedrum UW Mk2. I just love the sound and compositions I can get from just these two devices. Call me an Elektron fan boi.

Lots of ways to pipe those into one another, youâre set! Just add bourbon, or I guess rum because island.
Do you use anything to process your MD?
I ask because the Kush Reddi plug with MD kicks has become my favorite kick combo lately.

The Kush Audio Plug-ins are so FANTASTIC!

Yea. The reddi and omega are the best deals in DSP if you ask me.
They make things sing and donât break your wallet.

My go to quarantine couch device has been the Tanzbär 2. Man that thing sounds so awesome. I need to get off the couch and run it thru the Digitone already.
Also in rotation are the Model: Cycles, MC-101, OP-1, Blackbox and Deluge.
UPDATE: Finally ran audio from Tanzbär 2 into the digitone. Holy crap itâs fun, half the time I didnât even have a sequence playing on the DN just using it as a fancy mixer w/ efx for the tanz.
Strymon Deco for a few months now. Rolls off the highs a bit. Saturates everything nicely, everything except the kick. Iâm running that seperate now. Maybe Iâll get Kush Reddi for the kick.

Give it a demo. Itâs magic on low end.
I was fortunate to own the hardware tube box about 14 years ago.
Never put a kick through it, sadly.

Been fiddling around with the Model Cycles into the OP-1 for master fx lately.
I just might stick to that as my island survival backpack combo for now

Lol how typical!
The question was about âoneâ (1) instrument but it always turns into a roll of lists of 74 instruments

Another OB 6 lover here. Beautiful sweet spot in a box. Today Ive mainly been firing my modular into my OT flex recorders, and sampling, resampling bringing in the ARâŚso again, the common denominator is the OTâŚI donât know what I did before I got my second octatrackâŚ
Haha so true, I canât talk about one without the other !
Well try! 
Octatrack !! Just with every sample

Does it count as 1 instrument if you have the Digi twins mounted on a single stand? If so then those two, if not well I guess the Digitone, while I have a fair amount of other gear there is something about FM (and especially the way the Tone does it) that can emote like no other synthesis method. I write sad music for sad times (or happy times)⌠

I still have an MV-8000 in my closet with a ps2 mouse and vga screen laying around somewhere. Limited but fun

Iâm turning on the model:cycles mostly⌠something kind of comforting about the limitations of it. I suppose it doesnât hurt that it is new also. My current thoughts are more these are unsettling times and I really donât want to dive into super deep synthesis.
To keep me busy thru these dark times, model:samples all the way⌠I have a boatload of hardware, but simplicity makes me happy lastly, and I focus on music instead of learning new âtricksâ.
