Those are super neat bits of tech that I have less than any use for. I wish I had a spark of whatever it is that lets people do more with those things than “ha ha go boop” because they seem endlessly fascinating.

Haha go boop is also rad as hell. Sequencers are 100% my favorite music thing if I’ve had a little too much to drink to play piano.

Buy a PO-20 with a bottle of something, watch one YouTube video on how to use it and just try not to fall in love.

I bought an Arturia Minilab MK2 a couple of weeks ago to bring with my on vacation so I could mess around with stuff



Super nice for browsing through their plugins. Not a bad little thing. I have a Komplete Kontrol (what a stupid name) S49 that I use at home, and am soon going to be working on transplanting the keys/electronics from my Kawai digital grand in to a thinner enclosure to put on a slide out keyboard tray under my desk. The one it comes in is way too tall for that, and no one makes a slimmer one with nearly as good key action (including Kawai). Also I don't want to spend another 3-4k on another keyboard to then rip that one up. It does USB midi and line out so I can use the line out to play it normally, and midi for plugins and whatnot.

Not mine maybe not even the right battery but I'm getting a new battery for my Chevy Bolt. I suppose it doesn't count as a purchase because it was a recall thing.

I just bought the Arturia V Collection soft synth bundle on their black Friday deal thinking it would be a way to keep me from buying any more synths but now I'm looking at getting a keylab so I can use all the knobs and faders instead of the mouse. GAS. GAS never changes....

It really doesn't. I've been successful at holding off more synth purchase, but that's largely cause I haven't touched any synths in a while since they've been buried under the poo poo on my desk. Been trying to get my desk cleaned and reorganized, so that I can make the beeps boop, and then the desire for more synth will return.

Do you guys share your boops with other people (or inflict them on them, as the case may be) or is it just for you? Not judging, seems like a fun thing to mess around with I’m just curious how folks use them.

I bought a new 32" 4k monitor to have more space for my DAW. Also now my setup is back to being symmetrical which pleases me greatly.

I also bought materials and built a keyboard tray for my desk so I don't have to awkwardly try to use it anymore.



Now I just need to finish my mixing console... and buy a finger drummer thing.... and more plug-ins... and a larger desk...

I got an iPhone 13 Pro in Sierra Blue after many years of Nexus/Pixel phones and even using Google Fi for my carrier for years.

I’m blown way the hell away. This is even massively superior to my experience using an iPad Pro before I had to sell it a few years ago.

Looking forward to loving around with the 3D scanner and SOLIDWORKS at some point in the relatively near future.

My son just bought one with his first paycheck. Weird cause I got him a job where I work and I don't have the extra scratch for an oculus. But I pay the goddamn mortgage and bills and drive his rear end to work goddammit :argh:

:sigh: Anyway, I get to play with it so it's all good. I can play with it whenever. I never tried VR before and I'm loving it. I suck at it but I'm having a lot of fun playing beat saber

drat that's amazing. Finally was able to sit down and listen on my good speakers. That electric piano is wonderful, and her voice is lovely. Not sure how I'd never listened to them before, but I'll have to go through their stuff.

At this point if you're vaxxed and boosted and don't mind wearing a mask I don't know what else you can do anymore. We saw American Aquarium down in Louisville earlier this year and I had a blast, even with wearing a mask the whole concert. Those paper surgical ones are such a godsend over the reusable cloth masks, wish I'd figured that one out sooner. Sadly our last show Robert Delong) was cancelled because someone tested positive.

As far as purchases go, just bought Bang! the board game after playing it over the holidays! Surprisingly a ton of fun, basically nobody knows which character the others are, and everyone has a different target to eliminate to win:

I've used some form of Android phone since smartphones were a thing but I'm open to the idea of changing things up if I hear a good argument for it. I've had iPads on and off for a while, and I can't imagine a smaller one of these being my daily driver.

What about the iPhone do you like the most after switching?
