This literally showed up at my doorstep. Thanx, you-know-who-you-are! Now I understand why my guitars have been so quiet. This is also a nice way to meet new neighbours.
Got this as my on-the-road keyboard. Just a bit wider than my laptop, so it fits nicely in my bag. It will undoubtedly see more use during summers. Took it out for a spin a couple of times last summer, works like a charm.
Actually got these in 2008 or so, but I had them in the kitchen. Moved them to the bedroom part of the studio in 2019, so they didn’t really qualify as studio gear before that.
I traded my almost unused Wavedrum for this. I will most likely trade this one unused for something else. Can’t really see myself using it. I thought it would be a standalone beat thingy, but, alas, no. Things need to get simpler, not harder. So it’s got to go.
A really simple sequencer. Traded something for this and haven’t really used it. I could drive a part of the modular with it, so I’m not giving up on it yet.
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 would have thought this would work for me. But it didn’t. It is quite usable, but I only need the keyboard, not the extra sliders and buttons. So that’s it, then. Now I know.
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 chair and move closer to a real synth.
Was thinking about getting the wireless version for couch use. Let’s see about that.
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!
Got these babies with some Frank money. These appear to be not for everyone, but they sound pretty solid to me.
A standard MIDI interface. Works with USB power. Had to get two of them when my MIDISport 8×8 died.
