I built preenfm2 and sonic potions lxr kits before (like 8 yrs ago). These 500 series kits are not really hard to assemble though i had to buy more precise soldering iron.

in audio example all ON till 1:28 then gradually switched OFF (CP4500 -> 2xDYNX -> 2xEQ)

audio is Octatrack <- nord mm and ensoniq dp/2 as OT send/return

slimmed down in the last 2 years. modular became a new roof and some other stuff.. other extraneous bits went little by little. just these 2 bits of hardware synthesis left which is plenty. laptop stuff w/software of course. ipad and bunch of hard drives out of view

the cables hanging on the end of the desk? that's just a cable hanger for patch bay cables. or do you mean the mackie mixer?

Having something to show visually shouldn’t be the main goal in music production anyway, so don’t worry about that stuff

Mate even if I had the cash and bought a bunch of toys they would probably gather dust anyway.

Laptop, headphones, and the smallest midi controller I can find.   Once upon a time I had enough gear to fill a 32 channel mixer, turned into a never ending time sink with no music ever being made.

it's just a mixer. 16 channels. has 6 aux sends for routing FX. 4 bus, direct outs per channel so can be used as 16 channel strips if i like.. mostly it's used for monitoring/routing when recording.. often i patch directly from synths into the audio interface and the mixer is skipped. but sometimes it's good for routing to fx and stuff.. convenient. 

but mixers are pretty easy once you understand signal flow. the mackie 1604/1640i manual is actually really good at explaining mixers in general and has example set ups for different scenarios. 

Boing boing.

The mc 909 is really a beast. A 64 voice multitimbral rompler / wavetable synth / sampler (all in one engine) is nothing to sniff at.

yeah there is part of me that wants to go get one of the newer ones like the 909 and see what i could do with it….. have a Push 3 now though and kinda hard to justify another groovebox

Maybe, but...

This old machine is definitely on another level.

My current setup, slimmed it down a bit.

Almost a perfect speaker placement but you’ve got that white synth in the way

It's a sequencer. 

YEAH

beautiful setup! killer mixer

There really is just so much gear nowadays...so many options....sometimes I think a copy of renoise and a synth would be just fine

If that's your gut feeling, then do exactly that.
