if we lived closer we could have the most epic garage sale

@TheChameleon2008 2 years ago

Ah snap, didnt think you would sell the yellow MPC! Thing is iconic to the channel! I also sold all my TE operators because im totally done with TE as a company and bought the 404 mk2 and super happy with it!

@hogs-laying-logs 9 months ago (edited)

The Minifreak has monophonic aftertouch, honestly never noticed it was monophonic until I was about to post this. 😂

@hovermotion 2 years ago (edited)

Superb overview..
Now and again I shut down all of my musical items on my desk top setup and put them in storage, give it a break then come back and select items ive not used for some time...the kit is now back out again and the TR8S is now out hooked up to the Td3 bass synth...utterly amazing fun to control on the fly....no Daw...
P.s I like your desk finish effect..

@nazotora 2 years ago

Cool vid! Would enjoy seeing a similar one on gear that you've been finding yourself reaching more and more for recently, like how you showcased your FX units in a recent vid. I'd also love to see how you're getting along with the circuit rhythm!

@ZackGeragosian 2 years ago

I appreciate these kinds of videos. Helps me avoid GAS. I’ve been really satisfied using OP-Z, M8, and AUM on ipad for synthesizer needs. Really wish TE would make a OP-Z field though.

@thedeepblueskys 2 years ago

I let go of a lot of pieces of gear in the last year or so just because I didn’t use them anymore and I wanted to work with a more small and intimate setup. Basically a Virus Ti-1 desktop, Korg Radias, Tastychips GR-1, and a Digitakt & Digitone. I have some Moogs and a King Korg and MS2000 too. That with a Keystep Pro, FX pedals, and Reason 10. I use reasons instruments and the Arturia V collection a lot to sample to the Digitakt and Tastychips. It’s more than I’ll ever need. I do also have a TR-8s that I dont think I will ever sell. It just has a certain feel to it that other drum machines don’t have. I’m keeping them all lol

@NachozMan 2 years ago

I ran into this when I got a new GrooveBox and realized I liked my Yamaha QY70 a lot more, even only knowing how to use it like half right, and that it served most of the purposes the new instrument overlapped with. Even further going, good lord why are SO MANY SYTNHS attached to a keyboard now? I have a keyboard I like with all the features I would want from MIDI, I don't need 10 more, I need 10 more synth modules. For this reason I've been collecting Vintage rackmount gear lately, makes me sad it seems like nobody produces any synths that can be 19" rack-mounted anymore, we just get the overly expensive, confusing, and cluttery Euro-Rack modules.

@al8xandros 2 years ago

So glad I didn't get the EP133 (cancelled following a delivery fiasco by TE/UPS !). The only one I will keep forever is the PO-Speak, best TE product ever, so fun and useful at the same time to give life and fun to your tracks with own generated vocal snippets. Perfect pair with small groove boxes like the Tracker mini.

@jamieleesounds 2 years ago

Thanks for sharing and walking us through the thought process! I echo lots of what you said and it was super validating to hear

@umick-synths 2 years ago

2:56 my MicroFreak is gathering dust because I'm focused on other synths. I'm going to update the firmware and take it on vacation so I have no other choice.

@ZEETONEx 2 years ago

Sold all my Gear ( elektrons mpc synts etc ) except for my Maschine mk3 and a Jam .. never been more productive and Calm in my soul .. less is more and master few gear is the way in my opinion .. good work

@8K3102 2 years ago

Appreciate the video and hearing your reasoning! Related question, do you have any recommendation on where to sell used gear like this?

@umick-synths 2 years ago

8:39 so true, I finally got my MPC One to listen to my nanoKONTROL2 so I set up a template and I'm not changing anything ! I control cutoff and resonance on each submix channel and that's all but it's enough control for me to jam with it.

@artemvspr1me 2 years ago

Syntakt (drums and mono analogue basses, overdrive in the fx block, lfos on predelay of reverb and on delay time) + Digitone (polysynths/ pads/ chimes, chorus, etc) for me! I also use a Keystep sync’d to Syntakt’s clock in order to use the arp on the Syntakt as it doesn’t have one.

@sneaky_general 2 years ago

I’m surprised you’re selling the MPC! I’m getting my first one to compare specifically to the SP404MK2. Trying to make a decision to stick with one or the other.

@invisiblenobody1313 2 years ago

The polyphonic aftertouch on the microfreak is awesome.

@andrewverran6998 2 years ago

Nice streamlining, have you ever used a Pioneer Toraiz SP16 Sampler ?
✌️

@surrealchemist 2 years ago (edited)

The polyend stuff you can safely get rid of and if you decide you want it back you just buy the plus version at this point. But you have the mini, and that will be getting the same software updates as the Tracker+ anyway.
