2022: A Year in Gear (What You've Bought or Want to Buy in 2022)

Yeah, the ZDSP is much more flexible. Now ordered a set of the ZVerbz cards (fae Signal Sounds in mah hametoon of sunny Glesga.)

I have no doubts about it. Unfortunately, my salary is on a level of a bum from Easterhouse So, I had to take a model for "poor and homeless eurorack users"

Ooops, sorry if it sounded like I was having a go in some way. I literally read your description, thought 'that sounds really interesting, but I sure cant afford another module right now.'

When I worked out the ZDSP cards were the same algorithms, I was actually taking the cheapo option... and I thought you were selling me on the advantages of the ZDSP, cos at that point I didnt actually know the spec of the ZVerb module...

Oh no, I didn't read it that way.
I'm (still) on a psychological barrier of "no more than $250 per module". Especially with all those cheap synths that can be bought for 300/400 these days. Mooo synths!

[elxsound]

Speaking of $300 - $400 synths, there’s a sale on SE-02, for $359 via Amazon

I got mine used with the keyboard for about $400. I’m not going to do it, but apparently it’s possible chain these to add polyphony.

ooh nice!

[WatchTheGuitar]

It is very nice, so you managed to sell two somethings then?

nope. dug out a credit card. I will sell a couple though. I have way too many.

[WatchTheGuitar]

Ah dangerous stuff, but we’ve all been there.

I think it was 'fear of missing out'. It's quite a limited edition. I believe Europe has/had a total of 85 available.
I was fortunate (?) to find one about 120 Klm from home.

I am waiting for black friday sales, but I need an interface with more analog ins- preferably in back. MOTU 828es is a frontrunner right now but no final decision yet.
More interesting for some around here would be my plans to go all-in on euro rack with the Eowave Swarm and a couple of sequencers at the heart of it. The Turing Machine; Voltages; Volts; Doepfer 4x4 matrix mixer and perhaps a Behringer 1050
and Erica Synths LXR-02 for drums. I would love to have something sequencing the 2600 with the Swarm!
I like the idea of an all-in-one techno box that is portable. No idea on the size case I should get nor how much I'll end up paying (my soul...)

what does an all in one techno box need? drums, bass, lead?
there's a doepfer module synth voice, with a filter, 8 hp! (might be 10, will check later and get the code)
if you're not married to the idea of the doepfer matrix mixer and willing to spend a bit more the uhe cvilization is highly recommended, matrix mixer, with 3 other useful modes (even the quadphonic can be used to throw signals here n there in the system even if you don't use quad speakers)
drums ill leave for others

cases, i personally use tip top mantis cases for 3 of my racks, have no complaints other than you have to be careful on the depth of some modules.
but the options are many and varied and depending where you live, some deals will be better than others with postage costs for such items

There's lots of options...

Trade it for BitCoin.
Make an NFT of it.
Invest it in Twitter shares.
