Should change the name of that elderly 303 to Rosemary Kennedy with how poorly and neglected its being treated. Tisk, tisk.

Wonderful, so clean and well thought out! Love the wooden stand, did you build that yourself?

Cheers - yeah, the stand is made up from some old oak kitchen drawer fronts we had spare from something.

Thatās really tidy and looks great.
On the āmy setupā front, nothing has changed since the last batch of photos, beyond some tightening of the Live template. Since integrating my AK Iāve continued to struggle with attention due to health, so for a while felt frustrated and didnāt put much time into anything, but trying to be rational about it, I recognise that I donāt need to use all of itās features immediately and all of the time for it to have been a sensible addition. At the bare minimum it has been a god send just as a midi controller for programming my DT.
On that note, Iām currently fully in love with my OG DT, and while energy and mental resources are more limited Iāve been using as a standalone hardware device with Overbridge to Live, and working on my sample management and manipulation skills. I enjoy using it in a destructive sort of way when using it solo, creating a project, loading in some samples like in the Exquisitely Sounding Corpses thread, or plundering from elsewhere, throwing them into a project and cutting and smearing it all over the shop. When Iāve got something I like, I record it out to Live and quickly do any final mixing and export the files, then just clear the project and scrap the Live set.
I find this quite liberating, and a joyful way to work with audio for pleasure more than anything.

P12 
how easy is it to program? the keyboard version have like 50 more knobs so I have always wondered how to program it on the desktop version
I donāt have a hydrasynth but it seems heavily inspired by the P12. Even the workflow seems similar. Can somehow who has both care to chime in?

My humble half-a-tiny-closet setup 
Second pic showing just how tucked away it is.
Hi Iām new to elektronauts, been playing guitars and stuff in punk/stoner/doom world for the last twenty years but I got a model:samples on a whim a couple months ago, pivoted hard to synthpop, and ended up with a nymphes a couple weeks ago. Iāve been using DAWs on linux for a million years too but going dawless has been kind of a revelation - Iām writing songs, actually learning synthesis for real, and (slowly) getting better at keys. Working title for the album is āI hope you guys like the key of cā lol

Really nice and cosy, cool how the led reflects perfectly on the encoders of the Keystep Is that a butterfly knife?

Haha, yeah. The dullest butterfly knife in the world - it can barely do its only job, cutting through packing tape. Looks cool though!

The P12 is great and I actually love its UI. Each section, as you work left to right, generally only has 2 menus pages, so itās not dissimilar to the Elektron UI.
Not having dedicated amp envelope knobs can be annoying at times when little tweaks are needed, but apart from that I donāt miss much in terms of speed of workflow. Until my kids smashed my iPad, I was using @mekohlerās wonderful Oracle IOS app to generate brand new sounds, and then tweak from there.
I think it looks ace, and itās a good size. I canāt comment on the Hydra synth so would interested in this comparison as well. My mate has one and loves it.
