The Second Coming: 2010 – 2015

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 […]

KORG VOLCA SAMPLE [2014 – 2015]

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, […]

KORG MONOTRIBE [2011 – 2015]

Another one of those ”small boxes” Korg put out during this time. I got a MIDI kit for this as well, and had it well-integrated into my setup, but didn’t really used it for anything else than mucking around. Again, nothing wrong with it, just not my cup of tea. Sold it after Judgment Day.
