2023: A Year in Gear (What You've Bought or Want to Buy in 2023)

I just don’t about the minitaur (or really much about Moog in general).

don't get me wrong, it's a great little bass synth! just nothing else, not a great range, but it has a bottom nicki minaj would envy!

I think in many ways you could say something similar, bun unrelated to Niki Minaj, about both DFAM and SubH.

Still some great stuff out there. I love DFAM.

Ordered the LXR-02 when I saw the 10% discount on perfect circuit over the weekend. Thinking today that I can use it like a drums hub in my set up by triggering the analog drum patches I've programed on the Prologue while using its digital percussion on the unit's outs effectively giving me 6 simultaneous drum tracks into my DAW.
For years I have been recording one track at a time and I want to do that less.

Loving this cute little C-L Benjolin adaptation.

I really wanted a Macumbista Benjolin or a Blippo Box with banana jacks but those are hard to come by at this point.

That keyboard I bought turned out to be missing its 2.4G dongle, so I returned it and bought a new one. And the dongle doesn't work with Teletype anyway

But it works with a wired USB connection, so I can use that for Teletype and wireless for the PC, and switch the cable when it needs a recharge. I like the layout and feel, so it's worth it.

Bought a Mystic Circuits Blinkus out of curiosity.

That Xaoc Rostock fascinates me -- a shift register or 64-stage delay for the Leibniz system. All of the Leibniz stuff is galaxy-brain madness, but I'm imagining some fun possibilities with this one. I'm honestly looking forward to Superbooth demos of this as much as the Make Noise reveal...

Had to refrain from creating a new thread… I think there’s going to be tons of new products announced.

Here’s Elektron’s Analog Heat + FX

This definitely makes more sense for the space it occupies. With that said, I didn’t hear anything that makes me want to rush out to get it.

I did! That's an insta-buy for me because I've been on the verge of buying a Heat mk2. If ya'll need me, I'll be over at Sweetwater clicking refresh until this baby pops up.

Let's put it this way... I wouldn't recommend lighting a match anywhere near me right now.

If I didn’t have an Analog Heak MKII, it would be an instant buy too!

This looks like UDO’s answer to the Hydrasynth Deluxe and Novation Summit. Basically two Super Sixes with a big poly AT semi weighted kbd, wavemorphing and other fun. It ain’t cheap, unfortunately, £3595.

NAMM is dust, Superbooth is obviously where all the synth action is.

f**k me we might have a winner.

I just bought an OB-6 module, and now this...

I think I saw a $3500 price tag. Well, my bank account is probably not going to survive Superbooth '23

[WatchTheGuitar]

I thought they got their prices round the wrong way

The new Oberheim OB-X8 desktop module is available for pre-order now for $3499/3999€. Shipping will start in June 2023.

While the SEM filters and discrete VCOs are nice. I would much prefer all of that analog technology be put into something with a more complex and complete architecture. I really loathe all of this vintage recreation stuff.
