Tell me about it. It's crazy how cheap good analog gear is now. A Minibrute for $499, and this new MS-20 for $599? That's just awesome. So much synth for so little.Quoting ledfloyd (view post)

Tonight I officially, for real, fell in love with the Analog Four. It's basically a Berlin-School-in-a-Box machine, and has become my sole provider of poly-rhythmic sequences. It's pretty incredible what this little beast can do, and mind-blowing that it does it all without a hiccup in sight; how it processes everything so quickly and flawlessly is amazing. It really is a marvelous piece of kit as they say across ye old pond.
Holy shit. Latest Reason has midi. This is huge. Christ on a stick.

I know - it's finally 1973!
I recently made a big software purchase - Ableton Live 9 and Izotope Ozone. I'm learning 9 now, and loving it.
This will be arriving today.
I've been selling a ton of gear lately, and soon I'll probably be down to just the OP-1 (shown above), an iPad, my laptop, and a MIDI controller. With the OP-1 and iPad, I'll have a completely self-contained, super portable, battery-powered work station. I'll be able to fit everything I need in one small bag, and make music anywhere and everywhere.
Did you get the new Reason?
Not yet. Would like too once I have a bit of free time, which these days I have none.

After nearly a month with the OP-1, I can safely say that it is the most inspiring instrument I've ever owned. It and the iPad have completely changed the way I think about the studio and making music. I no longer go to a certain place to make music; now, everywhere is my studio. I'm making shorter works, more frequently, and worrying less about perfection than I ever have. Five minutes, ten minutes there, at the park, on the bus, at my desk during a "break," at lunch, an hour here, two hours there...music is being made constantly.
Thanks, I miss it so. Just amassing the last few pieces of my gear to start doing my own tracks.
