2021: A Year in Gear (What You've Bought or Want to Buy in 2021)

man u should get one of those instruo modules that reads plant bio-metrics maybe.

I considered it... but I bought enough other stuff to play with... maybe in 6 months or so

I enjoy the physical activity... it does not feel like a burden. Same like planting and caring for gardens.

Oh well, I get that, but there's no help there for the time it takes and the time you're away from music.

I have dozens of cliff swallows nesting on my house... so I hear their lovely sounds all through the day right now.

I am rearranging my studio right now and replacing a desk with another one I have here (sits two inches lower and matches my other desk). I figure a day or two before I test out the Beebo.

The curse of hardware.

I found some Himalaya Blue Poppy seeds online. Planted a while ago and finally a couple seeds germinated in the pots. This is what the flowers look like.

This is a fun group of jam buddies!

Something I've wanted since 2018 NAMM:

Two things I've wanted since they came out (respectively):

Qu-Bit_Surface.jpg

Qu-Bit_DataBender.jpg

... and one thing that somehow slipped under my radar until a month or so ago, but is doubtless going to prove 'indispensable'.

well pleased.

Here's my micro setup. It looks like 0-Coast will arrive next week. I was really hoping to dig in this weekend. The worst part is that while it's in route, I keep toying with the idea of adding a 4ms desktop "pod" to house a small number of modules.

What I'd like to pick up is a filter module of some sort. Any suggestions of one (or a few) that's unlikely to be replaced later? I checked out unrelated comments on Reddit briefly and everything is a killah "must-have" module.

I've almost added morphagene several times (but at the moment I know it's because it looks crazy cool and I know samples).

That looks like fun setup!

Hmm, I guess it probably wouldn't fit into one of those pods, otherwise ThreeTom's MS-22 is stellar.

So....after moving away from software this year and investing in hardware I spontaneously bought FL Studio all plug ins edition and an AKAI Fire! I blame lock down. Still, the whole lot was under £400 and its a lot of stuff! Some of the included VSTs are amazing and unknown to me, so its a real eye opener...I have even managed to work out how to make FL Studio work my way (like a normal DAW) as well as using it as a VST plug in (my original plan) so all is good so far and a lifetime of free updates. No regrets, but lets see if I am still using in in 6 months!

Still waiting on my ordered Liven XFM (shipping slipped) and my Osmose (shipping slipped) so the instant gratification download won again!

Here's my micro setup.

Is that a laptop power brick running the DC4 in your pic? I'm thinking about some kind of power solution to thin out all the power adapters I have in my current setup (0-Coast, 0-Ctrl, Field Kit FX, guitar pedals, Volca Sample).

justin3am posted about the DC7 previously but that's a bit much for me right now. I'm gravitating towards the DC4 as it's cheaper and more compact and I think the 4 outputs would cover my needs fine for the time being. Also it seems to have a few options for it's own power.

Have you tried running it from a USB powerbank? I wonder would it be able to power all of the above from one. I have the Field Kit FX, two Boss pedals and a Zoom Multistomp all running from the Field Kit FX's psu with a daisy chain splitter cable. That might be a bit high on the current draw but even if it could run the FKFX that would be fine. I could put the pedals and splitter cable onto a Boss psu.
