Not a purchase, but gifted a ton of obscure 10” and 12” vinyl from @Scot_Solida… and a TG77!

You wouldn’t believe how much Vanna charges to pose for a meme these days.

Sennheise e906: replacement for the sm57 that one of my dogs turned into a chew toy. Used for guitar cab mic
Boss Waza DM-2: Traded for it with a friend. Needed a solid and simple, straight up delay. One of my first pedals was a original DM-2 and it was awesome.

since they made it upgradeable it seems like it will last a long long time so long as it holds together
wanted some I/Os to record my MD and AR individual outs.
- a patchbay could help but twice the cables (still considering one though!)
- an ADAT preamp would bring 8 i/o at 96khz with smux but I wanted 16 so 2 adapters, more cables and rare are the ones that come only with line level inputs (I guess B has one? but I couldn’t find that many options)
- a mixer could be nice but takes too much space
- apollo X16: too damn expensive and I’m sure I can’t hear what it’s all about with my ears anyway.
then I saw this apollo mk2 16 for the price of an average ADAT preamp so couldn’t resist. bought the TB3 card and cheap DSUB cables and here I am with 16 in, 16 outs at 96khz and enough DSP power to add an EQ plugin on each inserts if necessary(but I really see this as an extra feature more than a core feature)
intentions: record very detailed bleep bloop of course!

Incoming used bargain of a 4075 to keep the 5089 company.
Intentions: mostly mid-range arpeggios, leads, and counter-melodies with an ARP(ish) character.

There’s not enough Boom* action on the webz.

Some new toys:
- B* K2
- Volca Drum
- braided patch cables
- thick MUJI notebooks
Not shown
- Some TT stackables. Now that I’m finally out of Euro, I’m buying stackables.
- Korg NanoKontrol 2
Thoughts:
- The K2 is a really great synth. Love the dual filters and compact size. I want the sparkle-blue full size MS20 reissue, but a 2600m and Cascadia are higher up on my priority list, so the MS20 will probably be out of production by the time I get to it.
- Volca Drum is fun, and will join the Volca Modular and Volca FM Mk1 as sound sources for the Tracker
Plans:
- Focus on the Tracker and the Volca Drum. The K2 will also make a good sound source, but it already feels like an old friend that is easy to hang and explore with. The Drum and Tracker will need more focused time.
- Make the most of mono sampling. I’ve got the Mk2 OT for stereo sampling and FSUing.
- The tracker is just a bit big for air travel, but could be a good companion on long haul Amtrak trips.
Edit: a straggler showed up:

barely-used A4 mk1 on reverb for €620. it’s in fantastic condition. buttons & encoders feel new 
id bought a 2nd hand mk2 last week but it arrived badly in need of a trip to elektron hq, so sadly I had to return it. next day this popped up.
