2026: A Year in Gear (What You've Bought or Want to Buy in 2026)

And while I was playing with that, I got the link to pay the balance on my K-Accumulator preorder and notice that it will ship next Friday

So far I haven't been tempted by any other hardware (or software) yet this year. I'll have plenty of new stuff to explore with just these two modules...

I also got my link to pay the balance for my K-Accumulator! I'm really excited about that. I'm going to put it in a Pod64x with an MI Stages module to start, so I can just explore it's sound and behaviors, without any distractions.

Then I received an email from IME with an invoice for a Double Andore mk1 reissue. That's one of the few Harvestman modules I didn't get during the first run and I've always regretted it. That should complete my Harvestman system.

I got my Piston Honda mk1 reissue earlier in the month and it sounds exactly like the original. I wanted to do a video which compares the sound of the PHmk1 original, PHmk2 and the PHmk1 reissue but after spending time with the reissue, I think that comparison isn't very interesting... but I'd still like to do a longer format demo of the Harvestman stuff.

Ordered a Behringer Phara-O Mini today. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Oh geez, just saw that Bela Trails per-order is open today.

I've been waiting for this!

Unfortunately there are some sales on, so I couldn't resist . But they've been on my wishlist for ages so it's about time I got them.



Currently $750, usually $820-830 so only $80 off but still a saving. I'll need to get another Behringer 80HP synth to fill the gaps in the 3-tier stand - so far only Neutron and K2. Wasp & Cat unfortunately 70HP so they don't all fit together. TBH I probably need to buy another 3-tier stand and fill them with 70HP, other with 80HP. AFAIK the only other 70HP is the Model D, which doesn't really appeal that much. The other 80HP one not sure - possibly the 2XM (Obies don't really set me on fire either) or Proton or K2 mkii (not sure it's worth getting another one just for the added PWM but at that price...shame not to)


Got $200 off this and they don't seem to be on sale often. $999 usually $1199 so I really couldn't resist it. Very late to the party but I get there in the end. I've seen a ltd edition reverse key version but doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere, shame - looks like maybe no longer made .

Happy day - this arrived:

It's going to replace my Behringer 2600 Grey Meanie

Sounds great so far, just have another for this mess-

Oh man, I love my Cascadia! It's one of my favorite synths! I use mine with a Metropolix via MIDI, it's such a powerful combo.

I watched a video with it using the envelop follower with a DFAM and

Don't forget osc sync and fm



Been trying for a couple of months to get the 3 tier stand, but out of stock everywhere.

Ordered a Eurorack Luna kit from Thonk. And a Music Thing Workshop System kit. So Im clearly not going to be buying any more stuff this year.

Aaaah...I'd forgotten it has sync as well . Then I probably should buy one. A screaming type1 MS20 HPF filter on osc sync overdriven back into itself, yeah that's enough to get me moist. OK, that's my 3-tier stand filled up

[Seafire Mk2]

That #3 I'm getting to fill that stand when it's back in stock ( to go with the Kobol and Pro1 I already have)
