Teenage Engineering K.O. II [2025 – ]

A really immediate sampler/drum machine (and more) with a fun pocket calculator-aesthetic. Just as with the Arturia KeyStep Pro, this one has been turning out in so many gear demos for Eurorack modules that I just had to give it a go. My main use for this is a quick drum machine to be used […]

Behringer RD-78 [2025 – ]

The proverbial pikkusormi to the paholainen. The original Roland CR-78 is the sound of my late childhood and early teenagedom, if there is such a word. A really recognisable set of drum sounds from the early synth music I was listening to, much more special to me than the otherwise legendary X0X machines. Ultravox / […]

Arturia KeyStep Pro [2025 – ]

Quite a few eurorack demos and tutorials have featured this one, so I thought I’d give it a go. As far as sequencers go, this is quite nice. Full set of features, each step can be edited individually. Can’t really think of anything that’s lacking. Like it a lot so far, let’s see.

2023 And Onwards: Eurorack Invasion

Things kinda got out of hand. Now I’ve got enough Eurorack modules to keep me learning for years. We all know, though, that there will be more, but I’m seriously trying to cut down. Also sold a lot of stuff I haven’t used, so that’s good. Still have the studio split in two, with the […]

IK Multimedia ARC Studio [2024 – ]

Corrects, or I like to say “standardises”, the frequency response of my monitors. Few things are game changers, this one is. It essentially makes the music sound the way it should. You calibrate it by making it listen to your monitor setup from 21 different spots around where your head is where you are listening, […]

Cre8audio NiftyKEYZ [2023 – ]

Thought this might earn a special mention, although I don’t list Eurorack related items here. It’s a really nice Eurorack enclosure with a keyboard with support for quadrophonic sound (depending on how you patch, of course) as a bonus. It features an arpeggiator, LFO, keyboard transpose and keyboard split, and is as such a compact […]

2022 – Settling Down Again

Time to move, even 150 meters appears to be quite the chore. Double the floor space, but the studio still didn’t get its own room. This time I actually opted for a split studio, half of the stuff in the livingroom and the other half in the bedroom. The livingroom has the modular stuff, and […]
