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 / John Foxx especially is what this always reminds me of. Of course I’ve had samples of it since forever, but it was only 108€ at Thomann, which is really an unbelievable price for an analog drum machine.

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 keyboards in the bedroom and the living room being the main studio until one of the other rooms becomes available, which won’t happen for a couple of years.

Upgraded my Mac to a Mac Studio Ultra M1 in late 2022 as well, and things are smooooooth!

Modular Corner
Desk With Sequencers

As of the beginning of 2025, I will continue finalising the 11 remaining Darwin’s Mistake (the band name) songs and try go get the album (Humanity) published at some point. Because we all love a release party.

Musical Output From This Period

During more or less the entire 2024 I was working to finish the first song for our (the bro’ and me) first album. Also did a collaboration with my cousin, but other than that, I’ve mainly been building my studio during this period.
