This was in my Reverb email this morning. I... Well...
What‽

@marramgrass only 2.5k! Bargain!
I accidentally looked at Roland Jupiter 8s and now I get 20k synths recommended.
@mo “accidentally“
@marramgrass well, I followed a link while browsing for bargain Roland Juno-106s.
Yes. I bought a Roland Juno-106. And I’d do it again, dammit!
@mo I have fallen down a bit of sampler-sequencer rabbit hole lately. I still blame you for such notions, really.
@marramgrass any particular rabbits that you’re following in said rabbit hole?
@mo All very modern. Have been fiddling with a blackbox, which is very guitar-friendly.
Have been considering a detour into a Polyend Tracker Mini, though. And keeping an eye on expenditure with a probable Digitakt in mind. You know how these things can escalate.
@mo The tracker thing is an intriguing throwback to teenaged me running OctaMED on an Amiga.
@marramgrass I only ever used BooTracker on my Amstrad. I’ve been using a Metropolix Eurorack sequencer later. You can see it on this (bottom left): https://youtu.be/LAACwr2lVOU
@mo Enjoyable jam, there.
@marramgrass I like the idea of a Digitakt but I think it gets me too far from the intimacy of the modular system.
@mo It is a very different beast.
@marramgrass I like that the Metropolix has the immediacy of sliders and switches, but also feels like complex jiggery pokery because you can apply mod lanes to the 2 tracks and even output the mod lanes independently. I love this explainer video from one of my favourite synthy people: https://youtu.be/FHr6AlI1KOE?si=-xbA7b5AX04ShTi9
@mo Not a chance of me ever going near proper modular. Too much scope for me to get lost in there and never come back out.
