I also got a Syntakt 
This is my first Elektron and I’m really enjoying it. I got it primarily as a drum machine but see it becoming the main sequencer for everything.

Couple of courses from Mike’s Master Classes - both reasonably priced.
Jimmy Wyble’s Etude #1 - Sid Jacobs teaches how to play it, how to apply concepts from it to Stella By Starlight and other standards, etc.
The Improv Style of Cannonball Adderley for Guitar - Mike Goddete teaches 12 licks extracted from Cannonball’s solos and how he chose to play each lick on guitar. A nice touch is each lick is labeled with the name of the source album. 6 of them are thus off of the Them Dirty Blues album.

Nice - I went down that rabbit hole for a while too. I especially still use my TWSBI Eco a lot, look into it if you’re getting gassy for a new pen!

While this is admittedly a rather benign purchase, the akg k371 which were meant to be a second reference to my sony’s are really incredibly articulate for a closed back headphone at this price point. I’m certainly accustomed to the off-kilter bias of sony headphones so luckily it wasn’t one of those “oh no, everything sounds like shit now!” kind of situations, but really everything has opened up quite nicely and I’ll probably rely on these for mixing unless the future brings something better.
The point being, my first purchase of 2024 made a larger sonic difference than anything I bought in 2023, hands down. Money well spent and if you’re looking for a second set or even a first set on a budget. these fellas seem to be the ticket.
*A caveat: They feel pretty breakable, I wouldn’t run around town with them in my bag. It would also be nice if the cups swiveled.

I’ve had them for 3 years now and they have served me really well.
Great budget headphones!
I added new ear pads, once the originals dissolved.
These velour cheapos from china do the job and don’t fall apart.
PS: even better with sonarworks sound id

Very happy also for two years with it.
I would say more solid than it looks but not marble either.
Pleasantly surprised by the offer of cables delivered with it.
