If they don’t do T-shirts they’re missing an opportunity. Nice branding.

I have a Prophet 6, which I usually play from a Linnstrument. Such a rad combo. It's got such a rich and dense tone and it's basically all sweet-spots. Even so, it has some decent sound design potential, for the kind of weird patches I like. I could have done without the built in effects but they fit the sound of the synth.

You're supposed to be talking me out of it, Justin, not encouraging me to buy it AND a Linnstrument!

It's not in my programming to discourage GAS.

That's a lot of pests

Maybe one day I'll buy one. I don't really care too much about synths after all it seems.

*Though I did actually sign up for a new upcoming eurorack module, an Analog Shift Register from
Sketchy Labs.

*@justin3am, you think I should get 2 of those ASR's?

theyre fun and useful little additions to the rack.
lots of little goodies packed in those small and cheap packages

My GAS for the month was alleviated by my stupid payroll dept taking a big wodge of pension contribution from my pay that I never asked for. Now I have to wait a month until next pay time to get it rebated, but on the bright side it will mean double bubble. May be time to sort out getting shot of a few things I’m not using to clear the decks and consolidate cash for when the right thing becomes available.

Yeah, ASRs are nice in pairs. I have 2 in my Serge system and when I had two Ornament and Crime, I frequently patched one into another.
It's like adding more stages to the bucket brigade. It can also be a lot of fun to use cross-feedback between two sets of ASRs, for generative sequencing.

Digital shift registers are a bit of an obsession of mine at the moment. I'd really like to get a Shift Core Generator from Synthfox, but I'm not sure where I'd put it.

Cool thanks!

Space is definitely an issue for me. I think that's the main issue I have about getting more synths.
I am like a Roadie in my own room already, unloading and stowing stuff that I want to use at that
particular time. This side of the island is hot, dry and dusty, so much so that I can't leave stuff
out, unless I'm going to clean it obsessively. More synths equate to more work for me, now guitars
and drum machines on the other hand...
