Just ordered a heavy duty Z style stand for my Yamaha MX61. Had it on an X stand for some time, but hate how it's always seemed not quite stable enough on it. I guess the old one is heading to Goodwill once the new one arrives...

Woohoo! Finally got my act together and ordered my patchbay label; I needed to finalise all the wiring first.

Next up will be the one for the FX, more synths and the mixer

I'm thinking of running my CV connections into one also

Just took delivery of an Electro Harmonix Worm

I was particularly impressed to see that they put a small rubber worm in the box with the pedal!

i love my worm

don't use the wah so much, but the vibrato and phaser are cool, the trem too, but like the wah, i have those covered elsewhere.

I have a Dunlop Cry Baby for Wah, but this is very cool for auto wah at rates I can't manage with a manual wah.

The phaser is pretty good, and the main reason I went for this pedal is that I wanted a phaser but never understood the appeal of the one knob Phase 90 type pedal where all you can tweak is the rate. It really has a very cool 60s vibe to it, like a Uni-vibe.

I really like the fact that the tremolo cuts a lot of the bottom end, as that's exactly how I want a tremolo to sound.

As for the vibrato, it's maybe something I'm still looking for ways to use, but I'm sure it will figure its way into some things that I do.

I just bought a set of angle brackets for my Uno. They are 3D printed thingies from eBay but they have a cut out for the back bit and everything -

I recently also bought a brilliant new keyboard stand to use on stage -

It's really light (3kg) and it folds up to almost nothing. (Someone at work thought it was a two-piece pool cue when it was packed away in it's bag.) I ordered a black one but they sent a red one. Oh, well, it will go nicely with the Uno brackets.

I'm not really planning on any actual hardware purchases this year but you never know...

I just moved house and wanted something to hold my growing synth collection. Went for this one ...

Oh yeah ... picked one of these up too

I just found a pre-built system for sale that is in the same price as the PC i want to build from scratch.

It's a Ryzen 1950X 16 Core 32 Threads CPU
GTX 1080 TI x 2
Corsair 32GB DDR4 Ram 2x16
960 PRO 2TB M2 SSD
WD 4TB Hard drive
EVGA 1600W Gold Rated PSU

I'm heavily debating whether or not to jump on this...
It kind of seems like a no brainer.

For curiosity what do they want for this jewel? Sounds nice.

Only thing I would say is that SLI is pretty much useless. It's not really supported
by anyone. Nvidia will provide a bunch of profiles that tell your GPU's how to render
frames (per game), but it's not really the same as a game specifically designed to take
advantage of it, and there are practically none of those.

Unless you plan to run multiple displays its mostly just a waste of money. Even then,
nowadays. Or if you are into performance scores. I have been running SLI configurations since
it's invention, it's been a disappointment more than anything. Likely, a single GPU 1 tier up will
out perform them. Just sayin...

*Mind you, it's not the technology, the idea is sound. It's just that the industry has never
been onboard with either SLI or Crossfire (or whatever). In fact, it causes me problems
particularly in regard to Audio production, where I have to disable it most of the time.

Well see if I buy it, I'm planning on mainly using it for Da Vinci Resolve Studio for editing 4K and 5K footage on. Right now Resolve doesn't take advantage of SLI, but in a future update it may so this is a pretty good deal in my eyes. I'll also be running Bitwig Studio and Ableton Live 10 on it along with my plug-in collection so i think it's a fairly decent system.

I'm not really going to be buying it for Gaming. Gaming is kind of a "Bonus" for me if I buy it at this point. Also I'm pretty happy playing SNES games on my FPGA emulator system rather than cutting edge AAA titles so that says it all

2019 a year in gear (what have you/are you bought/buying?)
