What's your latest purchase & what are your intentions with it? [pics ftw] (Part 3)

Very pleased so far with my brand new MicroMonsta 2. I had forgotten that I signed up for the in-stock notification about a year ago. No customs issues and arrived in about 11 days. I think it will pair nicely with my Syntakt for a small tabletop setup.

…once u skip the sub, after years of using it, u gonna miss the low end big time, i’m afraid…

but i share ur suspicions on daisychaining ur whole monitor signal sum through some undefined subwoofer first…

dunno how u’ve organized ur monitor signal flow, but i suggest, u feed the sub via a separeted output…killing all above 100 hz…if both ends get their feed from the same monitor controler or interface, u don’t have to worry about phase…

but for sure, u better make sure, ur new near field monitors get their own dedicated feed with a slight roll off underneath 50 hz…
but akaik, those genelecs do that on default anyways…

but ur sweetspot angle seems a little bit off…if u really wanna enjoy that proper stereo stage ur new monitors are able to provide, make sure they’re placed a little more angled towards ur main listening position, with the same distance to each other, as ur distance from where ur listening…and place them at a hight, where ur ears match the same height, right between tweeter and and main speaker…ur ears at same level as that rim inbetween is where u get the best focus on all the details a proper stereo stage can tell…

Can absolutely confirm, they complemente each other really well, and that superfun apreggiator on MM2 is the cherry on top of ST missing bits fulfilled by the MM2.

My dream is to scale down to only those 2 guys and a 303, but I can’t let go all the other toys :grin:

Push 3 standalone. It took me quite long to make a decision. After I received it and played a bit I packed it back and requested to return it. When Ableton support sent me return details and asked to reduce the battery to 30% for transport I took it again from the box and played for a while.
And this time it clicked. Despite my initial feelings I started to really appreciate what it is. In one week I made material for 2 or 3 tracks which is enormous speed for me. With standalone I am not that focused on details, like EQ or synthesis and fine tuning of LFO :smile: I just hit the record, create some basic patch or use something from the pack and play a lot, like I was a midi clip factory. I will edit details later, but the track skeleton is already made. Great device.
I have Push 2 and someone may say that I am crazy because I could do almost the same if I enable Live on computer and switch off the screen. Maybe yes, but I already tried and it didn’t work that good.
Anyway, still have some time for tests but I think it will stay with me.

Another purchase is a powerbank and USB-DC cable. It turned my Syntakt into fully portable device which I can take anywhere. It’s finally getting warm and sunny and I am going to take it with me outside.

Just got this UNIT. Intention is to use AR for drums and Push 3 standalone for everything else. Not in the picture is an Arturia Audiofuse X8 In ADAT interface so that I can have all 8 AR outs coming in to the Push for separate effects treatment, sidechain triggering etc.

Inspiring. Grooverider has specific support for the launchpad?

I’m wondering if this is the Circuit Pro we’ve been waiting for

I love Tetris, but this is overkill surely?

yep — for this particular Launchpad Pro Mk3.
probably others are going to be supported later — but i’ve got no time for later, so ordered this one.

not sure — but iPad + Circuit Tracks is my to-go combo.

GR2 absolutely rocks, and LP Pro make things really quick.
however, when it comes to tweaking things, knobs are better anyway, so MIDI tracks of Tracks do this job well.

probably you still don’t love Tetris THAT much :grin:
if you play live, this is not overkill beccause tactile stuff is always quicker and more reliable comparing to touchscreen.

now I can cook my tracks !! :joy:
