One of the first synths I came across was the Cyclone Analogic TT-303. I recommend saving up for one of those if you can, the sequencer is unmatched. I have four TD-3 units, they are all boxed up right now but only because I currently do not have the space to set them up. I can create sequences for them with TT-303, and use the Squarp Pyramid to store those sequences and send them out to other synths. Very handy workflow even with writer's block! 😆Thanks for sharing and Read more
I still remember the first 303 clones hitting the second hand market. They were still 300-500 euros back then, just one of those would've eaten half of my current investment, so I can't really blame the Behringer for making the stuff more accessible. They could be a bit more original, though it's hard to disagree with the TD-3 😁 I use the Venom as the master keyboard, route it through the MPC to the device I want to sequence. It's really fast and convenient to play the stuff in but for grid sequencing, I think the Circuits speed is unmatched. That sequencer just is that good. I was really tossing the coin between the Tracks and the MPC for a long time, but then the MPC popped up and I just had to get it. I would love to have a dedicated sequencer like the Pyramid because my current setup can be severely limited if I want to do stuff live. But, I still have a few more basic things to upgrade, so I don't have to pay much attention to that side right now, as the noise of the mixer pulls ALL of my attention and I'm sure it's starting to annoy everyone else, too. I've half expected someone to say "Sounds great, BUT.." for a long time, but the community is nice and understanding when it comes down to this stuff 🙃
Keanuwhoa 😁 Tracks is at Amazon.it on prime customer deals for 246.99 + shipping, ~260€ for a brand new Tracks is a pretty good deal! 👀 Here the going rate for OG is 100-180, some try to get more of it but if you keep an eye on the Amazon deals, the local prices make no sense. Hagglezon is a good way to compare between the EU amazons, most of them ship to whole EU 😁
It really is. In all fairness he could've asked 250-270 for it but he didn't even mention the upgrade in the post and I was genuinely buying a vanilla TR-8 for the 200 (here the going rate is 180-220€). The device also came with the old firmware, suggesting he just didn't have any real use for it and it was just collecting dust. And quite often that's how you get the best deals; people are just looking to get rid of the stuff and price it to sell. Usually you find single synths like that, people just try them once only to figure out that the DAWless isn't for them and out goes the synth. The reality of needing quite a bit more than just the single synth becomes the wall of entry and ain't nobody got time or money for that.
Where I am, to get the same gear i'd be paying double. Not everything is twice as expensive, but some things like TR8 and MPC are disproportionally more expensive just because. I am not gelling with my Circuit, idk, unsigned knobs are not my thing... also occassionally it doesnt respond on synth 2 which p!sses me off. microfreak is a little darling, keeps surprising me and arturia keeps injecting new goodies into it. I thought you had more gear 😆 ... you should get more gear 🤪
I usually keep an eye of the market places and know the lowest prices the stuff is going for. Like everything, I tend to buy when it's low but unlike some people, I don't sell it high as I'm the forever home for the gear. I suppose that's the best part about being a grown ass man, you no longer have to peddle with the stuff as you can just keep it until the space becomes an issue. I've been 10 months into this, for the timeline the amount of gear isn't that bad and now that I have the basics covered, I can save up a little more for the kind of stuff that I might want to own at least to try it but perhaps end up selling down the line. But, we shall see how it goes. First I have to upgrade out of this Behringer mixer! So like the spice, the gear must flow😁
@@joppesuvikas3341 Yleensä en kuitenkaan tingi, eli hinnat ovat myyjän asettamia.

Bro... finding Circuit for 120... it's dream come true, in my neck of the woods it's nowhere to be found used and a new one is sold for 599!

Great set up
@@MrFabiusynth It was nothing but Bad Gear until I got the MPC 1000 😁 But it gets the job done 😊
A TR-8 with 7x7 expansion for 200, is a really good deal. The expansion alone is 100 if I remember correctly

Itse selailen vaan noita Thomanin katalogeja.
Oli miten oli. Miellytävän kuuloista
musiikia teet. Varsinkin se Deep Dub Techno
