I have the XL mark 2 but this seems a big step forward.
I use it with Ableton rather than hardware synths, so any feedback from you might not be that relevant.

I didn’t buy it with the intention of using it with Ableton, but I do plan to set it up and try that at some point. When I do, I’ll report back.

I pre-ordered a Manifold Research Antelope, but I suspect I’m not going to see it until March at the earliest

It's been a while but having some great fun with some new recent purchases.

Digitakt 2 - Virus Ti2 - Novation Peak



Perfect little setup today using the Virus Ti2 in multimode I have 7 parts midi ch 9-15 running to Digitakt 2 with Peak on ch 16.
This is great because I can assign 16 midi cc's per channel on the Digitakt 2. The Peak is running in to the Virus Ti2 inputs making use of the great FX although I already love the Reverb on Peak.

Beatstep Pro - x3 Behringer Syncussion



This little setup is so much fun as well. 6 channels of weird drum sounds. This thing does some FAT kicks. Had this hooked up via cv yesterday, love it.
Now to introduce the Syncussion to some Source Audio FX pedals tomorrow.

This little beauty arrived yesterday:



It sounds wonderful. It's very low noise, very low latency, and rock-solid with my Windows 11 system. Also, I'll finally be able to use several of my hardware synths and effects at the same time. I'm still in the process of getting everything wired up, but I can already tell this will help me immensely!

That Syncussion rack is a thing of beauty!
