Some tiny speakers for my tiny apartment studio arriving Thursday

I plan to throw copious amounts of musical stylings from my gears to my ears with them.

It must be a small apartment if they can ship it to you in a box.

A Dreadbox Typhon just came in the mail from Reverb! The rest of the setup is a Nymphes, Hydrasynth 49 and a Digitakt. Hydra is controlling everything and DT1 is sequencing. I’m a little ambivalent about no aftertouch, pitch or modwheel with the DT sequencing but whatever, even without them this setup can do so much. Give me limitations or give me death. Now that I have a monosynth, mark my words, my intention is never to buy another instrument again

What?: Korg King Korg
Whatfor?: Exercises in dealing with regret and the fact that my illusion/fantasy about it, based on reviews, has always been in the category of platonic ideas; and to finally learn something from the experience :smiling_face_with_tear::joy:

ā€žIt isn’t bad, it’s just not especially good.ā€œ :rofl:

I’d suggest to rename my copy: King Korg → Deputy department manager Korg.

Long live King Analog Keys the First! :sweat_smile:

I really never thought I’d be an ebook person, too much of a ā€œpuristā€. But as a former book hoarder, and in further pursuit of detaching myself from consumerism of objects, this little device has been a welcome surprise.

I have a Kobo Libra2 and it is without a doubt one of the best purchases I have ever made.
I like to read several books, manuals and comics simultaneously, love reading in my bath, on public transport or anywhere, carrying my entire collection of books, in love with its ergonomics, its autonomy, its capacity to preserve the quality of my partner’s sleep
It’s fantastic, simply fantastic.

I have had a Kindle for years. We have something on the order of 4,000 printed books in the house. It’s insane. Both my wife and I are avid bookworms. I’m at the point now where I get an e-book unless either (a) it is not available as an e-book at all, (b) it will have lots of full-color pictures I want to see, or Ā© is a book I’m likely going to want to look at ten years from now.

I have repeatedly warned all of my friends that at the point we decide to sell our place and move I am going to throw a big dinner party for everyone, and lock the doors and not let anyone out until after they’ve packed a box of books to take home.

While the Digitakt 2 and Digitone 2 would be the more obvious things to post here, or the one plugin I got from Black Friday (Baby Audio Smooth Operator), I’m absolutely thrilled about this one! The new Salomon HSP Sickstick with Salomon Hologram bindings. (Old bingings on the picture. Attached the new ones after receiving them on the next day.)

I used to snowboard a lot as a teenager, but due to distances and the finances of a poor art student, I couldn’t afford snowboarding. My previous board is from 1998. Even though vintage gear rocks, I almost started crying when I tried this for the first time, because the upgrade in the feel and responsiveness was so ridiculously significant. It’s like having made beats with a maracas and a triangle and upgrading straight to Digitakt.

Best part: I moved this year away from the city and live now 10 minutes drive away from a small ski resort. So, most likely Digitakt 2 and Digitone 2 will be collecting dust until spring comes! :smile:
