I bought this to get a more standard touch into my keyboard, instead of the short-travel feel of the CME. It was also another attempt to really get used to MIDI controllers with sliders, buttons and pads, but no. This being an Arturia device that integrates well with Arturia soft synths, which I have, I […]
Got this because it’s the most minimal and sleek keyboard around. The idea was that I only need an easy way to punch in notes. In that sense this is the perfect tool. Suits my playing skills perfectly. And if I need more control, I would just need to get my ass up from the […]
My subwoofer of choice to complement my monitors. I’m not entirely sure how neighbour-friendly this is in a block of flats. To be on the safe side, I made a timer trigged script on my Mac to change the bass EQ settings at night. And again in the morning. Viva l’automation!

This is one of those synths that I’ve bought and then criminally underused. It’s a quality piece of gear with a great sound, but I just haven’t gotten around to use it that much. It is also currently my most complex analog synth, so that might have something to do with it, as I’ve lately […]
Time to ditch some gear! In the end, I did not sell nearly as much as I initially thought I would, but still a substantial amount. I used some of the money to get a new Eurorack going. I also made what was to be the last synth purchase for several years and got the […]

Once I had properly settled in, it was time to arrange some hardware. I built a ceiling-high and wall-wide monster out of my Muurame modular bookshelf and filled it with everything rackmountable. It was a sight to behold. Every single person who entered the room had something to say about it. Also, if one kept […]
I honestly don’t know why I bought this. I have a soft spot for drum machines, but I still never use them the way they should be used. Besides, I think an iPad could be the perfect drum machine that would replace small boxes like this as well as a bunch of control surfaces. Naturally, […]
