^^ Dude you're doing pretty well in the having lots of cool stuff thing.

Its one of the upsides of being single, with grown up non-dependent kids. I can usually treat myself to some nice gear every few years.

who knew tesco did synths?

Oh yeah. Much better than those ones you find at Sainsburys.

For the non-single, its always Vacation vs Synth (or Vacation vs Synth+Single).

Is that a Korg RADIAS rack? Almost bought a RADIAS back in the day, always kinda wish I did.

It is indeed. It's a powerful synth with plenty of knobs and buttons to have fun with.

Iv'e had a few months of toning stuff down a bit and Iv'e finally ended up with a set up I feel comfy with. Got rid of around 4 synths leaving me with the 12 I need. Iv'e put a picture below of what I decided to keep. Been ordering some shelving too so as I can have everything along one wall.

I'll put the real pictures of the gear up in the next month or so but for now this will have to do. Everything will be triggered by the MPC X although most of these have their own sequencers it's just the way I work.

Gear:

• Akai MPC X (The Hub)
  Polyend Medusa
  Behringer Crave
  Behringer TD-3 x3 (Blue - Red - Yellow)
  Behringer MS-1
  Behringer RD-8
  Novation Circuit Monostation x2
  Elektron Analog Rytm MKII
  Elektron Analog 4 MKII
  Arturia Keystep
  Faderfox MX12
  Faderfox PC12

Thinking about starting to slowly build a small modular system later on in the year when Iv'e done some research.
My only purchase in the near future will be the BOSS RV500 and DD500 but for now it'll be FX from my DAW.

New monitor installed and old one repurposed

HawkEye is running in standalone mode so all audio from the PC is feeding into it.

Ok. This is my actual Setup. I am using the first ThinkPad (with Traktor Pro) as a player for Drones and long, processed beats. I am using the Effects in Traktor for tweaking those sounds. Z1 is obviously acting as a soundcard + EQ and Filtering, the X1 is controlling the effects in Traktor. The sum goes into the ZEDi 10 Mixer. Beneath sits my beloved Volca Sample (filled with a custom 909 Sampleset + some clicks and cuts). The very small Behringer Xenyx 802 is only used for the Volca Sample and the Korg Mini Kaosspad 2S (the sum of the Volca is routed into this surprisingly good mini-fx machine) and routed back into the Xenyx-Mixer. The main out from the Mixer goes also into the ZEDi 10. Next are the Novation Circuit (mainly used for beats) and the Mono Station (which i still have to understand... )... Sums, as usual, into the ZEDi 10.

Next to the Mono Station sits my Audiointerface (Novation AudioHub 2x4). The other ThinkPad is equipped with Ableton Live Lite, which is controlled by the Launchpad Mk2 and the LaunchControl XL. I am using Ableton Live for playing back Loops and for the sounddesign with Cakewalks Rapture VSTi. This is the only installed Softsynth. Hell yeah, and the little thingymajingy is my "new", found dbx 166XL Compressor, Gate and Limiter. I am not sure where to put this, but i think, this could be the new companion for my Volca Sample... But first i have to solder the cables i need for this.

The other things in the background (the LUCAS P.A., for example), multicore, Stagebox etc. are not mine, they belong to our lockdowned Theatre here in Berlin. But hey, the TEDDY, sitting on the stagebox, IS indeed mine...

This is it. I hope, my English is not tooooo bad. As we say here in Germany: My English is under all pig!



Best regards, stay healthy and: Make some music!

Nice! Looks like you could stow a plant or maybe a bong on there as well if you wanted.
Did you see the thing where you can get a bracket to bolt two mantis's together? Of course
here your solving for the cartesian as well.

no liquid!!!

the cartesian will come down on to the table in front, the rene touch plates are useless up there.
leaving that shelf free for 2 more rows

have some old bits of a clothes rail, going to look in to a cable tidy using some of that!
or a tie rack

top shelf is reserved for "murderers"
