What gear are you lusting after?

For me it's the MPC Live.

 

I don't know anything about the MPC "workflow" but i just love the fact it's a self contained "go anywhere" box (well for 4-5 hours at least) I'm spending more and more time stuck at a desk at my job (lucky I have two: sit down one in the office and a stand up one in the server room) and I've found I'm just not inspired to sit at my desk at home and use the computer. I have Maschine and Push 2 but even with them there is still a lot of staring at a screen. I also really don't like being stuck at the desk anymore.

 

The idea of a MPC Live is really appealing and from what few videos of seen it looks really good, it's going to be expensive but I might sell all my other stuff if it's going to fill my needs.

 

I love my Circuit as that's a battery powered, go anywhere box but it's really only useful for noodling.

 

 

So what are you lusting after right now?

Hehe - I can't lie, I've got a little list ;)

 

I want an MPC again - either my own 2000XL which might be available from the mate I sold it to lots of years ago - or a 1000 with the XL LCD screen and JJ OS. That'll happen in the next few months I reckon.

 

I also fancy a 404 or 404sx - even if I only end up using it as a little FX box for the Volca Keys (unless I sell it) or an MPC.

 

Other than that, I want a Strymon Deco pedal and maybe a Zvex Instant Lofi Junky pedal.

 

I'd bloody love a quality Marantz (or similar) portable tape recorder at some stage too.

 

I'll leave it that... for now ;)

I'm seriously lusting after an MPC 2500 (it's my current desktop background), but the sensible side is leaning towards a Maschine. Every time I get enough loot though, I take care of pending responsibilities, however, I'm about to get a large chunk of cash, so might splurge on some salty hookers and blow.

nothing. i'm thankful for what i have and thank god every day for it.

 

 

on a serious note though i'm desperate for a new synth but i find it virtually impossible to decide on one nowadays. but since i don't have the money i don't have to think about this anyway :rolleyes:

All I need right now is more memory for my PC and my MacBook. I made the mistake of updating to Sierra and now it's HECKA_SLOW (8GB installed though... wtf). Also, whenever I have TinyChat running on the PC (Firefox) and anything else running, I get a low on memory warning (4GB in stalled)

Vestax faderboard thing

Suzuki Omnichord

Scratchbox

Vestax PMC-06PRO

Numark HDX

Those little Korg Volca things

I had one faderboard back in the day and it's a bit limited but fun memories come to my mind. Why do you want it?

 

 

Just kinda curious and also I'm pretty shit at piano so seems like maybe a viable alternative.

Do you have an MPC or similar? Faderboard isn't easy than keyboard or pads... it's even harder! Shing02 did invest half life to make it musical xD

 

A few things:

-another PDX2000, Tascam TT-M1 and Vestax Cdx05 combo;

-a Numark V7;

-a Macbook Pro;

-a Vestax Pad-One

-a slimline mixer (preferably an Ecler Nuo 2.0 with Eternal or Vestax PMC 06 with Pro X Fade)

I recently bought a Pad-one for under 50 (I should post it at the Arkei port too :V) and I had cdx05 with ttm too... even an old mixwell cd dj1 too. I kept with me 2 ttm units (one seems broke but it should be essy to fix since these are very simple) and I have an idea for the working one... if you find the cdx and still need the ttm drop me a pm and let's talk about it. Maybe I can sell you one ttm/pad-one combo sometime in the future... ;)

aka my first DVS! When I got that TT-M1 I honestly felt like I was living in future times :d

Big up Shing02 - a man whose presence on Living Legends records totally confused me for a while :d

I've got to say I'm a sucker for all things Vestax. There's a guy in the UK who sells Vestax parts and had a couple of TT-M1s for sale. I picked up one and hooked it up to my PDX along with a CDX05 and it's working great so may take you up on your offer on another one at some point. Got no money though right now unfortunately!

Yeah I got an MPC. That's what I was worried about--that it would be super hard to use. Why I've not bought one... if I find one cheap enough I would tho. I already have a Theremin... that thing is impossible. Makes my hand hurt just thinking about it.

 

 

 

There a few pedals I'm interested in too...

Electro Harmonix byrst looks interesting. I used to have an EH Voice Box and would like to get one again too.
