I wasn’t home when they tried to deliver last night but I was able to pick it up from the post office on my way to work today. Had some time to play with presets on my lunch break and I’m excited to dig into it more when I get home. First impressions of my first roland boutique, it’s heftier than I expected, feels more like an instrument than toy, which I wasn’t fully expecting and am rather pleased about.

DIGITONE EXPANDER.
It’s obvious the Digitone was designed with this expansion unit in mind 
They’re the exact same width.
Goal: expand the Digitone’s polyphony and sound palette. The FB-01 is 8 parts multitimbral, and each part can be panned hard L/R. Percect configuration for the Digitone’s midi sequencer and dual mono input.

A cruiser board and protective gear. Intention is to zip to and from the kindergarden before and after work. And to learn how to Ollie over curbs, hopefully! Haven’t made music since I got this, it’s fun =D

Got two magic toys in the mail yesterday !
The Buchla & Tiptop 245t sequencer: I always wanted to have one of those, I love the 5-step thing and all the weird options.
A good old 80’s UE-405 analog multi-FX from Ibanez !
Both together for a first jam here

Can I ask what month in 2018 you got on the list? This month is exactly 4 years for me.
October 2018 I joined the list.

Intention is to have a load of new NKS-compatible synths, FX and sample content for my Maschine MK3. I mentioned in the software deals thread but these boxed updates/upgrades can be picked up cheaply from retailers now that K14 has been released. It was only £159.
Bonus - I think I might be able to reformat the included 500GB HD (spinny kind not solid state) to use as a handy backup drive. I only have a base model Mac Mini M1 so I’m a bit light on HD space.
EDIT - I got a bit carried away and also bought a cheap crossgrade to Rob Papen Explorer 7 so I now have more plugins than I can possibly use. But hey, I just got paid and a boy needs a hobby.

Been a while since I’ve had a A4. Let go of my MK1 when I felt AK was good enough, and let go of my AK when I fell in love with Pro 2. That was a couple years ago.
Looking forward to all the fun stuff the MK1 couldn’t do. Q-Perf, CV inputs, newer overdrive. Will use it mostly as a groovebox but might also pair it with NL3R, fx and sequencing. Mostly dub techno and also some electro. Considering rack mounting it with NL3R.
Also looking forward to getting back to some of the features I wish ST had… biting saw chords, parameter slide, kits, macros.

Got a nice box o’ mayhem from @DonovanDwyer. And he included a teeny tiny Prophet-5 pin, too. My intentions are to get lost in Pure Data, practice guitar through the Zoom, and gain a new understanding of the term “mini keys”.

how did that work out as a replacement? ive been using launchpad mk3 through digitkt/digitone for a long time but i wonder a lot if something like the oxi one/deluge/hapax (hapax seemingly being the best option) would add much complexity and organic “songs” via multiple midi instruments
Hi,
It’s a bit early to answer this. But, I used LPP3 as a chord generator (Hapax is better), CC sequencer through midihub (Hapax will be more powerfull when the midi FX “Note to CC” will be implemented, as it have more tracks and more sequencing features) and master keyboard (Hapax is not as good because pads don’t have aftertouch). This final point isn’t a problem as I purchased an AK which is now my master keyboard (with aftertouch).
When you add the midi FX, the algos, the play modes, tracks up to 32 bars, 96 midi channels on output, the instrument definitions, the automations… You can definitely had something to your song the LPP3 can’t.
I think Oxy one and deluge can be also very good options but I choose the Hapax as I know Squarp team will make it even better.

Good point. Thanks for the input, that is helpful. I just use my Launchpad as keyboards to use scale mode and “freely” playing like keys to input notes to Elektron midi sequencers.
I guess that’s stupid, and a keyboard is better in general, but I can see Hapax being a workable substitute. I kind of thought that’s what you meant when you said ditching the lpp for it. But it is a shame about aftertouch. I wonder if it will be added

Yes it is. I don’t know if it is doable as you need particular sensors I guess under the pads 
girlfriend cheated on me systematically and broke my nose with a thrown bottle of perfume when i found out. i was going to give her money to pay for a deposit on a new flat, as she has been served notice. instead today i packed my bags and bought this. i hope she enjoys sleeping in her car!
