What's your latest purchase & what are your intentions with it? [pics ftw] (Part 1)

I see!

Just bought these awhile back. Very nice and comfortable.

My latest purchase is an eventide h9. I bought it because Iā€™ve been drooling over the space and modfactor for years and couldnt decide which one i wanted. So i got them all!

This weeks pawnshop score


Probably make some more grimy recordings with it if it works. May need some work as I havenā€™t tested it yet but the shop does have 30 return policy on electronics.

Not sure how many more 4 tracks I need but apparently 2 wasnā€™t enough.:man_facepalming:

Craftsynth 2.0 arrived yesterday

intention is to get to grips with making some neurofunk sounds :diddly:

SKULPT, this and OT oughta be fun for some breaks and beats. As SKULPT and craft are both mono instruments, this will leave 2 inputs free on the OT. Maybe some 3rd party fix?

I have those two in their v2 versionsā€¦so nice!!! How do you like the v3s?

Yeah they are great, Iv had the Erebus v3 a while now and for bass lines itā€™s awesome, simple to use and sounds amazing, the nyx V2 is new to me and itā€™s a bit of a steeper learning curve, Iā€™m yet to read the manual but I managed to get a lovely arp lead type sound out of it briefly playing with it for a while last night when I got in but if Iā€™m honest I want to use it for its drone capabilities and see how it compares to my Lyra 8

This gives me flashbacks to the 688 I used 30 years ago. Great machine.

not technically new to meā€¦ I bought it about a decade ago, in fact. but itā€™s been out of commission for about ten months now, and just got repaired. I moved my studio in the house and as soon as I did, boom, it went down. fixed the immediate issue myself but then other stuff started happeningā€¦ anyway, while it was down, I modified my desk so the keyboard tray is low enough to hold this and still slide in/out cleanly (see second pic).

super stoked to have this guy back. the repair couldā€™ve bought me a faux 101 (you know the one) and I was pretty bummed about the cost. until I powered it up for the first timeā€¦ :raised_hands:

My latest purchase (just arrived): A Raspberry 3B+ and a Pisound audio card as a cheap way (~ā‚¬140,-) to toy around with home-built OTB devices like effects processors, sound generators, sequencers and MIDI routing/processing.

I will start with some pre-built solutions like MODEP (Mod Duo emulator) and see how I like it and - if necessary - how I can extend it. Since MODEP is based on LV2 plugins it shouldnā€™t be that hard to extend it for my needs (especially the MIDI processing stuff).

Next on my list is Orac 2.0 to run a ā€œnetworkā€ of Pure Data patches like on an Organelle. What makes Orac so special is its support for the Push2 as control surface. Since I use Live less and less Iā€™m still looking to get my Push2 back into usage to control OTB stuff.

I was excited when I saw from across the room as I thought it was a 688. I was still intrigued enough to buy it but sadly Iā€™ve had to return it. The transport on it didnā€™t work properly.

I opened it up to see what it would take to replace belts and discovered someone had already been in there and made a bit of a mess in it. The entire transport body was missing 3 screws and 2 of the legs where it would mount, on one side, were broken.

Too bad as its pretty much only good for parts in its condition.
