Gassing for a hardware drum machine. Considering something like a korg volca drum.

Why? I have no idea. I have no real use for one and doubt I have the patience to make it worthwhile. But they look cool!

I have the Behringer clone of the Roland 606, the RD-6, its bloody cool, USB Midi or 5 pin din Midi can control it with your DAW, its great fun, I'm just not using it now I have GGD, if you're interested its yours for $200

I have an awesome drum machine. He's called Malcolm. He never needs programming and runs on a couple of Canadian Club RTD's.

Got Marshall JVM gas, despite my sensible self-talk telling me a DSL40 combo would suffice at half the price.

Thanks for the kind offer but in reality, I’ve got very little time to actually play at the moment. Out of interest, what do you have?

Chur, I'll give it some thought. I'm veering towards an FM machine for maximally weird sounds, and maximum frustration. But I'll let you know if I end up looking for something more practical.

Tempting! Possibly a bit overwhelming, though that's probably true for any FM unit. But this guy's tutorial has me imagining I could at least have some fun with it:

The Elektron Model (Samples, Cycles) line are a simplified version of their main line (Digitakt, Digitone).

I find both lines to be fairly intuitive. For Cycles and Digitone, Elektron purposefully set limitations in their FM synth engines so you can find musical sweetspots quicker and easier.

Also Elektron gear holds up their resale value remarkably well.

Probably very very late but recently got the eventide h9 max.

One of the best pedal I purchased- very inspirational and really high quality sounds.

I personality like the effects on H9 more than HX stomp and Gt1000 which I had in the past, but that just my personal experience
