I only bought the TR8s because I’m still waiting for the RD-8MKII and RD-9 pre order. I’ll end up keeping all 3 when they eventually arrive (The Behringer stuff that is, been waiting since June just for the RD-9) but at least I have a drum machine to play with over Christmas.

It’s really cool. Demo is fully functional, you just can’t save and there’s a watermark on the output video.

These units are so good and so flexible. I have two JV1080’s (both loaded with sound cards) that I’ve used the hell out of.

Is it me, or are mc303 making a comeback for some weird reason?
(That is what’s above the elektron, yes?)

Managed to grab an as new Alesis Micron (red) just now from eBay for £175 I used to own one years and years ago and after watching a ton of YouTube videos today I figured it’d make a great drone synth and maybe make some multi sample stuff from my MPCX with it.
Due to be delivered this coming Thursday.

The Alesis stuff is so great. I keep staving off just going all in on an andromeda. Don’t know how much longer I’m gonna last.

Yeah I was initially searching for the Alesis ION however I came across the Micron which I first bought on release but sold it in 2008 or so. I remembered how good it sounded back then and with me having the MPCX I figured to sample the hell out of it whilst also using it for live stuff. It’s a multi part synth too so I can map all sorts with this an just use it as a sound module. I will still get the ION again at some point but for now I’m sure I’ll get some fab sounds out of the Micron.
It is a MC-303. I bought it new when it first came out. The midi implementation really sucks, but it’s got great sounds for all the old CompuRhythm drum machines in there. That’s what I used it for.
Ooh, if there’s one thing I regret ever selling it’s my collection of four Electrix rack units. I loved Repeater and Mo-Fx especially.

I played my cards wisely and instead of buying either of the monosynths I was contemplating, I shortened my credit card debt and then I stumbled into an expanded Korg M3 locally with the memory and firewire-expansions installed (but no keyboard) for 350€. Really looking forward to getting it delivered to my bookshop tomorrow at noonish.
I don’t know what it is with me and these vintage flagship romplers. This will be an excellent addition to my V-Synth and my XV-5080.

I actually set foot in a Guitar Center today to pick up this 1 Spot combo pack.
Intentions are to confirm or deny that the RPW-7 is a noisy bastard.
Even if it’s not, I can use the 1 spot at the table full-time & discontinue the practice of moving the boss back and forth from the guitar wall to the table.
time to start wiring.

Lumen’s very cool. When I had an OP-Z, inspired by a video in some thread here, I looked into it because the OP-Z’s video stuff is just a toy. I’ve since moved on to TouchDesigner, which is much more powerful and elaborate, but has a monster learning curve, which I don’t care because the people I work with handle the graphics. TouchDesigner is free, though. Checking out Lumen’s latest demo, I see it’s now looking more powerful than I recall, so I might spring for it to get pleasing video results within my abilities and time.
ADDED: Here’s that OP-Z video:

What a beauty. I think Panda Bear used one of these on his album Tom Boy. He would process his guitar through it, which would trigger a bunch of samples (a la Disco Inferno).

I traded my Polivoks for an 0-Coast. Don’t know what I’ll do with it yet.
