That sounds rad!!
yeah, which kit?
did a passive LPG first to get used to stuff and then the music thing modular startup, which gives good output/mixing options for this little 32hp case.

here’s the current setup - next step is to replace the chainsaw with some sort of 4 channel muting for performance. the 8hp currently occupied by the mum m8 is going to be an interchangeable slot depending on mood, mostly being used atm as an external input and overdriven resonant whining.

it’s my favourite mechanism for banging in lines quick but is basically the least aspirational one
I shouldn’t have, but I wound up getting a 94/95 MIM Duo Sonic – one of the 22.5" scale ones. The neck is super thin – I don’t really notice it while playing but when I grab it and wrap my hand around the neck it’s pretty apparent how thin it is. It feels pretty good, though, I like it. I don’t think the current Duo Sonics are 22.5" scale or have necks this thin, so I’m glad I grabbed this vs getting one of the current models (even if the Desert Sand with the gold pickguard looks better).

I’ve got a wqarmoth bass neck, looking for where a decently inexpensive bodie I could attach it to may be found. The partscaster it came with is like a boat anchor so I don’t want to use that as is.
very seriously considering ditching hardware and just getting a copy of serum and ableton why shouldn’t i do this

You could check The Stratosphere (I think they’re only on eBay and Reverb right now, but they used to have a site). They buy shit, disassemble them, and then sell the parts individually so you can get just a loaded or unloaded bass body. Otherwise, Reverb is a good place to check.
I ordered a Made in Japan Traditional 60s Stratocaster in Olympic White that arrived when I was in the hospital. It feels good, I like the neck, and I really like the pure white body with the mint green pickguard it reminds me of a ghost guitar. Unfortunately, mine came with a ding in the body, either from the factory or from not being double-boxed when shipped (why would you ship a guitar overseas in just the manufacturer’s box?) The serial number also implies the guitar was made last month, which is kind of cool that it didn’t really exist for very long prior to making its way to me.
Also grabbed one of the Limited Edition Player Stratocasters with the roasted maple neck and the “Fat 50s Custom Shop” pickups when they were on sale. For whatever reason, Fender’s serial number lookup doesn’t return any results for my serial number or the serial numbers found in the product images for this guitar. Go figure. I think I prefer the feel of the MIJ more, but that probably comes down to the neck shape (MIJ is U, MIM is C) and the fact that the MIJ came with the action lower and I haven’t felt like adjusting it on the Red One.

I mean, for me, I just like fiddling with hardware so much more than working in a DAW, but if that’s not holding you up, then really no reason?

depends on the hardware, if you’re just going from a beatbox and some modules to a DAW, no big deal (though you’re going to spend a while remapping all of that plugin to a controller eventually)
give me the beatbox and free my soul
i wanna make up some rock and roll

stereo / mono sampling at 46.875 kHz / 16-bit
uh, what
well they had to convert it from seven eighths for the product sheet
very handsome device, cool looking screen, neat pressure sensitive mechanical keys, i wonder how they work in practice
who am i to judge if a feller wants to make his music on a collection of expensive calculators

Yeah the OP 33 ruled so much, but mine eventually broke, so I might replace it with this at some point.
bought a lot of old amps and stuff off FB marketplace and one of the items was this thing, a drum machine/bass/synth from 1980 or so. It’s unfortunately missing the pedals that accompanied it (so you can play it with your feet while playing guitar). I saw a post online of someone who built their own little mini-keyboard that they could then use to control it. that would be cool but fuck if I know how to do any of it. it’s the kind of thing I wish I could learn but haven’t got a clue where to start. I got intimidated just opening up the amp in an aborted attempt to clean it so wiring a keyboard controller for this might be out of reach for me.
It’s also missing a power cable so I haven’t been able to see if it will even turn on, but aside from being really old and dirty, all the stuff in the lot is functional so I’m optimistic. old analog drum machines are cool especially when you find them in the wild.
