tbh most SD cards are micro SD with a free SD sized adaptor these days.
It’s the TRS MIDI ports that I dislike.

Just watched this, pretty cool Push style controller for £350, has 4 lots of CV note and gate CV out as well as MIDI.

Seems divisive from the comments though as no pots or physical faders

It’s £329 in the stores. £299 by Christmas?
It’s reminded me I have a NI Maschine Jam in a cupboard somewhere which will probably never get used again. Probably zero chance of selling it.

To be honest, I never liked the Iridium layout, so the core seems like a nice idea but still at a ridiculous price for me. However I love it's minimalism.

Today is my birthday. A few days ago, I ordered a vintage synth to celebrate.

It won't arrive today, but that's okay. I need some time to make room for it!

Wish me luck, that it arrives next week safe and sound, and in good working order.

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

It hasn't arrived yet, but here's a stock photo of the synth's logo:

I always liked the aesthetics of these synths. They remind of of the TV show Miami Vice, and the paintings of Patrick Nagel. This was made by Ensoniq during their prime. I would have somewhat preferred a TS-10, with an unweighted synth key bed and polyphonic aftertouch, but I got this for a bargain price I couldn't pass up. Also, I have to admit, it does feel cool to have a former flagship model. I just hope it arrives in good working order.

I had my eyes on a SD-1/32 that cash generator were selling for £500, but by the time payday came round it was gone.

I know exactly how that feels! It seems like most of the fantastic deals appear when I'm low on funds. Then when I do have the money, the nicest deals are all gone!

Yeah, I have given and bought stuff on credit in the past but now interest rates have hoiked up I don’t want to play that game. It is only a (stupidly expensive) hobby for me.
