Been a while since I've posted, but this is what I played on Monday night. I decided to try to go more distorted and heavier than I have in the past and did my best not to instantly rely on a bunch of reverb and delay to fill all the empty space. It was a fun time!

In other news, I think I've gotten a few modules since last I posted. I made a special trip to WMD on Friday just to get a MSCL for Monday. Definitely needed that. I've been planning on it for a while, so not quite an impulse purchase. I haven't had the chance to play with it much, but it did a fantastic job of allowing me to make harsher sounds in a live setting without ruining everyone's ears. I've gotten the synchrodyne and it's expander and I absolutely love it. It's a fuck ton of space for a filter, but it's a lot of modules and one and has a lot of sonic territory it covers. Got the ADDAC506 and it's like Maths with random goodness in it. But it's really easy to make it a subtle random that really adds life to a patch. It's a bit expensive and a bitch to actually get, but so far it's been worth it. The expander has some extra random outputs which are very useful.

Finally, I got the Vector Sequencer, but I very quickly determined it's not what I need/want for my workflow. I can do everything it does with the ER-101/102 already in less space. It is super easy to program though, but in the end, it wasn't different enough to really make my workflow different. I didn't want to break what wasn't broken. So I think I'm going to get an Assimil8or with the proceeds.

Man, I kind of getting over not having a dedicated music space in my house but cash is still tight so IDK when I will be able to rectify this situation. Also, kids are kicking my ass, making a little bit of noise but not quite a s much as I want.

I am thinking about selling my Buchla because I am not using it much as I think I should. I know I got to the same place when My 4 year old was about 1 years old. My youngest turns 1 at the end of the month. WHat happened after I sold my Buchla last time...I got another one. So, probably just being silly. Although, the funds could get me a little pre-built/pre-fab metal building and I could finish the inside and make it a useable space AND I could put together a nice Euro system AND put money in the bank. So, same insanity as usual

Just wait a couple years. The silver panels will be rare and sought after. Seems ridiculous, but I’m willing to bet people will pay a premium for it.

THAT'S. WHY. YOU BUY. TWO!

or something.

Deltz - i feel you. been getting about 2, maybe 3 hours a week to do noisin's. and i don't even have any spawn. YOU ARE A BRAVER MAN THAN I SUH.

i mean. if you don't lose much moving it and can rebuy it if you want again..... why not get what's more relevant for your situation now?

Yeasty - didja grab an Assy yet? didja? DIDJA?

[yeatsvisitslincoln]

Gotta get money for the Vector first at the moment. Hoping by Labor day sale time? Though they do seem to pop up used??

I think that if I sell the Buchla now, I probably won't ever get what I have again. I don't think I can stomach paying Buchla prices, in bulk again.

I am going to go ahead and sell a few pedals and maybe my Deckard's Dream/Linnstrument - that is an awesome synth but for realz, I am not an amazing polysynth player - I can use an app and have my needs met.

Man you have awesome synths and I am sad that you have to make these decisions. I wish I could take the Deckard's off your hands, but I definitely don't have the cash to swing it.

lol. do pedals still sell? i have a box full i just.... haven't had time or energy to list.

Not really honestly. I've had a few pedals listed for awhile with no real interest

[yeatsvisitslincoln]

The market for synths even seems pretty weak right now. We’ve kind of hit saturation. Great time to buy though.

[Deltaphoenix]

I think it is a sign of other things to come soon. The economy is slowing down, I wonder how much/how low it will go.
