2022: A Year in Gear (What You've Bought or Want to Buy in 2022)

[vurt]

yeah it will be there whenever you're ready

sorry to hear about the ceiling.

You and Shabdahbriah. Damn, I've got to resist buying (for now), but I can easily see how this could fit alongside how I'll use them.

im sure they'll be available for a long time to come!
ill try not to make any more cool videos with it or the pest for a bit

[vurt]

well, see, wait and see what you need!!!
batteries and charger came, got all sorted, minidisc player, is f**ked!!
fair enough it and the discs have been in a dusty box for 10 years.
so now have a zoom h1n and 32 gig memory card on the way for tomorrow.
will be more than enough for ether recordings

Got a healthy pay raise... ordered a BeetTweek. It'll be the most expensive module in my system at this point, but I love controllers and this looks like the most fun one out there.

It does seem like I'll need a cheat sheet to navigate the modes, but there aren't that many nor a lot of setup options, so I think it'll be fine.

Can anyone recommend a panner in 19 rack format with balanced I/O and MIDI syncable modulation (or an input for external modulation). I may just end up getting an old Drawmer M500 or something. I'm just getting annoyed about using my H9000 or Fireworx for this kind of thing.

In case anyone needs a HW Fm synth, OPsix is available for $329.

I could only see one for $553 on there. A bit of a saving but I think they exaggerated the savings. It says original price $1256 . No way Opsix ever sold for that.

I think you’re seeing the currency exchange from USD to AUD.

They had 2000 in stock but they were down to 400 last I saw.

There’s more places with it discounted to $330 than just reverb. I’m guessing it hasn’t been selling as well as hoped?

I've not paid much attention to most keyboard releases the past several years, and do not foresee ever needing/getting another keyboard, as I'm more than content with what I can do/get from my Studio Logic Sledge II (Black), and Bass Station II, but having checked-out Nick Batt and loopop's reviews, THIS is a serious amount of sonic/sound laboratory potential for $329.

I hadn’t really followed it before seeing for sale. I’ve been intrigued by Digitone after getting sucked in by Digitakt and Syntakt. I’ve read a few Digitone owners not happy with the sound, but from watching videos it’s a classic DX7 sound, with extras and more hands on control. That makes it hard to pass up for the price.

My CME UF80 (88 keys) is pretty much toast, so I used that as justification to pick up the Opsix. It’s obviously not 88 keys but I can keep working with this until I find another option later.

This is selling fast too. Down to over 200 on Reverb (but again, it’s not the only place for this deal).

Traded some unused gear for a Novation LaunchPad Pro mk3. Seems like it’ll make a fun little sequencer for my hardware synths

I've been enjoying it as a sequencer. It's got some limitations, but it's more than adequate for the sort of looping sequences I go for anyway. It's a nice performance controller too IMHO.

Awesome, that's exactly what I'm hoping for. So far, it seems pretty adequate for my needs and I'm pretty surprised with the quality of the build and pads.

My East Beast arrived today ...

@cryophonic ... Launchpad is a great bit of kit. I had one before I bought PUSH2.
Sturdy, well made midi controller/ sequencer ... still looked like new when I sold it.
