Thanks, it looks clean…
But I am not in the UK and I have already had serious disappointments with imports since Brexit, I avoid buying from the other side of the channel now, the delusional protexionism has won.
Yeh been stung a few times as well… heres to cutting off our nose to spite our face 
More weird tat I got off the internet:
Simmons SDE FM-based percussion expander, apparently used by Autechre. More crazy for the sample library.
Dreadbox Typhon - like a mini modular that sounds great. Cleared all the presets to really get to learn it. USB audio is a bonus too.
Akai Z8 sampler. Shares an engine with the MPC4000, reads FAT32 drives, got some interesting filters and a pretty cool removable control panel (though sanity demands using Ak.sys). What will Ak.sys run on? Well, old samplers demand old computers…
Wow I was wondering of their were any competitors to the desk savers. I’ll have to check these out.
I’ll take a pic with the flash off next time 
In all seriousness though, I do like this and have put an order in for one, so will have to put up my black DT once it arrives as I have no desk space for two of them.
encountered Codex Seraphinianus (the weirdest book ever) for sweet price and ordered it.
intention: new year gift for myself.
Tiny beast
Not my first muff, but this is even better than the Russian green I sold and have regretted ever since…nice on the cue out of the OT sent back on on a thru and filtered to taste
100%, got that stand on wheels (On-Stage MIX-400 V2) a few days ago to use it anywhere around the house. Perfect to record / loop guitar straight out of the pedalboard whenever an idea pop up.
Only need a MIDI foot controller now, but the good ones are either shipped from across the globe with bad custom and shipping fees, or just out of stock and nowhere to be found (Morningstar MC8 for instance).
that retro is so damn pretty
Yeah it’s really that color that triggered the purchase of one of those new MPCs in the first place. Was looking for a while but this model does look nice. 
I have the same stand and use it for a tascam model 16 - which is far larger and heavier than I thought it would be. The stand makes it portable for dragging around the studio for jams or as a multitrack interface.
Wish it were prettier - don’t love the 2000s computer chair aesthetic, but who cares, it’s a sturdy and useful investment:)
Yeah it’s basic but does the job pretty well. I cover it with a sheet when not using, to keep from dust and not care not much about it’s ugly look. 
I found a minty APC 40 mkii locally on FB marketplace. I got it to use with Push 3. Loving it so far.
Worth it for the one button mutes and faders alone.
Yeah, if I could switch to that color I would do it in a heartbeat. ![]()
He didn’t deserve it…
also used by Autechre.
New rule?
Name that gear if it isn’t obvious. Some of this stuff looks so damn tasty and I have no clue what it is. Especially the knobby things.
Please

Interesting. Not that I’m a fan to be honest but good to know all the same, very few mention it. Must be one of the last hardware rack samplers.
If you were interested in @spikysimon’s knobby machine, it’s one of these:
