I dimly remember reading somewhere that the Mark Barton Arp 2500 and Moog modules made use (in some way) of the Behringer versions.

Going to be cutting it close, but Chase Bliss apparently uses UPS, so MOOD is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, and Gen Loss on Thursday.

Let’s see how this goes.

The last thing I need (or have space/inputs for) is more hardware, but I've been GAS'ing hard for Behringer RD-8 and RD-9 lately. Talk me out of them, please.

Exactly! I keep seeing them sell for so cheap that I'm probably just going to buy them, keep them on the shelf and swap them with another drum machine when I need my 808/909 fix.

I had to cancel an order for Behringer Edge. I already have DFAM, but it was priced so cheaply, I hit the purchase button on Amazon ($175).

RD-8 and 9 would be fun to have around if I had the space for them.

I'm waiting to hear back from a guy about an RD-8 mk1. After watching some of the mk1 vs mk2 videos, I think I actually prefer the mk1 and they're available dirt cheap these days.

No UPS strikes.

They struck a deal.

And… MOOD MKII arrived today (delivered by UPS).

Aren't patch cables considered essential medical supplies?

I know my mental health rapidly declines if I run out of them!

Not sure if I got a steal or not (or if I really needed to purchase it), but I found a Prophet-6 listed in mint condition on Reverb for $1499. Figured I could flip it to get one of my targets like an OB-6 Desktop or Moog Matriarch, or just keep it if I have trouble selling it. Didn't want to pass up on that price though.

Yeah, that's a steal, assuming it has no issues. I assume it's the desktop version?

Surprisingly it had the keyboard! I did a double-take for a little while since I was holding out for an OB-6 Desktop to fall within my budget, but I just pulled the trigger given the relatively low asking price.
