I always felt the 606 was the underrated sleeper of the Roland SP family!

This is awesome! The fact that you pieced this together out of necessity is so cool. Nice touch with the cushion. Also happy to see analog heat made the cut

Not using the mc 707?
I’m trying to use my time in isolation to focus on the Octatrack, but I do grab the 707 off the shelf regularly. Still haven’t explored the new firmware update completely.
Next purchase is probably going to be the Output Platform desk, with the Sidecar as well. Never enough space

Thanks, I figured I better include something Elektron for the forum. That space was originally intended for the H5 and room to add maybe a volca beats, but the H5 was too hard to use on the top tier and I’ve since decided I get on better with drum sequencers on the iPad than hardware. The Heat definitely works in the setup, and tbh I’m not sure what I could add in its place sound module-wise that can’t be covered with the iPad. I can see myself rotating it with the drolo stretchweaver and meris hedra at some point, however.

Hi there ! I don’t post that often but check the forum regularly.
I wanted to share my set up during confinement since I am quite happy with it right now. Some kind of “desert island machine” mindset with the OT as the obvious answer. I started to make one beat / video per day last week, we’ll see where it goes… 
Here are some of the ones I really like:

Classic. What’re you sampling in the inputs?
Cheers! Most of the time, I sample old records and some random stuff on YouTube. For the drums, I am using drum machines samples from my library.

Definitely my desert island gear. Sold it once and never regretted a sale so bad, my OT and MD are lifers now

Maybe the two most beautiful and powerful Elektron device ever made.

Look so nice together, I think the OT MK2 is the only MK2 that looks better then the original

i have a bitwig template for recalling patches, but i also am able to recall patches using the OT (load part / double tap stop).
i do agree simple is often better.
@blurrghost I really like it, and need to use it more. It does a ton of stuff and can be subtle but I think it shines most being more dramatic. I haven’t figured out exactly where it fits in my workflow but I think it’s either adding an effect while mixing or coming up with something to write a track around. There’s plenty of demos of the time and pitch settings but to me its gate setting is a lot of fun and was an unexpected surprise. You can have an audio loop going in one channel that can be set to only be heard when you play audio into the other channel. It’s kinda like the audio is part of your synth patch. That setting is also great for finding a patch or coming up with a new part to go with a track… as you can leave the track looping but have it squash the volume when you’re not playing something which helps a bit with loop fatigue. For me it also helps rogue notes stand out much more going from silence to full mix.
