2021: A Year in Gear (What You've Bought or Want to Buy in 2021)

Yeah, that is a thing too. My Siglent cost $200, I got my current Tektronics scope for $75. $400 isn't a big spend but... there are other ways to go.
I've got 16HP unaccounted for in my new case but I don't really need much. I'll probably just leave some blanks in that spot until something really grabs me.

I'm really looking forward to Sport Modulator V2. When the first version was available, I never had money when they were in stock and there was never stock when I had money. I'm not sure if I will get one from the first batch but I did put my request in on the day that the page was posted.

The shop? I've not but pretty sure they are legit. I don't use them as theyre in the UK.
Never seen any negative comments about them and they are ok according to Reverb.

ah cool.
id not seen the name before tbh (or rather noticed probably) and figured best to check thanks for the info.

Korg’s sq-64 poly sequencer is available. I have to grow out of the current setup that’s still in various states of delivery before I can add on. Still looks like more button combos than I’d like. It’s not Street Fighter, but it’s not Push 2 and Live either.

Several times. Very reliable. They sponsor Alex/Mylarmelodies' podcast 'Why we Bleep' and feature as his guests in one of the episodes.

Yup, a couple of Klavis modules at the end of 2018. Fast service, good price, extra discount for being a new customer. But I always forget about them because my brain defaults to Juno.

Glasgow based, so I do intend to visit the shop some time when the working-from-home-apocalypse is over and public transport is less unappealing than bathing in raw sewage. Im not sure, but I think they might be ex-staff from Rub A Dub.

I would expect high employee turnover from any place that sounds like a happy endings joint.

Managed to grab 3 brand new sealed Jomox modules, will be pretty fun hooking these up to the MPC X

Want to buy Behringer RD-6 and/or Roland JU-06A

Does anyone know anything about Dnipro Modular? I'm looking at their Dot Trigger Sequencer but I don't find much about them.

Later the plan is still the same...

Pod 1: Ears, Mimeophone, Morphagene, Squawk Dirty and HPO
Pod 2: QD Quad Drums, Running Order, (maybe Dot Trigger or a 2nd Running Order), Milky Way, and Rosie.

For the desk, the only two modules that I'm sure I'll get are Maths and Doepfer's dual ADSR (vintage edition if I can find it).

I got the rails set up yesterday and for the sake of my wallet, I've temporarily abandoned the pods and just added everything to the desk. Obviously, Ears is not much use where it is, but it beats having a blank at the moment.

I've got lots of manuals to memorize, especially for CVz, which is just sitting pretty at the moment. Milky Way and Overseer just arrived today but I'll get up to speed with the matrix mixer in CVz and these two as my first test.

that's looking lovely

I have a couple of the DNIPro Dots, they are great. One of the few modules I bought twice.
Looking great btw...

*Though, I don't think one is sufficient, and for the cost of 2 the VPME Euclidean Circles might be
a better value, though it doesn't do as much as the DOT, pretty sure. It does have a mute expander
that seems very cool as well, though more money again.

*A lot of folks don't like the bright LEDs from the VPME module though, from what I've heard. They
actually go to the trouble of coloring them with a sharpie some times.

*Empress ZOIA is pretty cool

Nice! I've ordered just 1, for now, to go with the Endorphins Running Order. I just received it, so I don't want to start selling things off even though the Dot does more, plus has visual feedback.

I almost bought Euclidean Circles several times over the holiday weekend (for the sale price) but decided against it for exactly that reason... It looks crazy bright! The Qu-Bit stuff is already too bright (clock LED on Bender).

Initially, I was thinking just two triggers would be enough since I have Pamala, midi, and hardware inputs but having it all set up I see the benefit of having something dedicated (with enough triggers for each voice).

ZOIA looks dope, even more so with the update.
