The problem with having outboard gear on dedicated I/O on your interface is that chaining multiple devices means multiple rounds of D/A-A/D conversion. The world (at least me and my friends) is crying out for a 96 point patchbay with full digital control and DAW integration. With so much pro audio outboard gear starting to take on a plugin based remote control scheme, this seems to be the missing link producers need to make a fully recalable analog/DAW hybrid setup that modern workflows, schedules, and client expectations demand. I can dream, can't I?

The cousin of the board I just bought:

I want this.

I want that problem.

Okay, just picked up a kp3+ 240 shipped. If any of you has room on your couch for a mad synthesist and his gear and about 120 pounds of cabling, let me know. I may need that couch.

KAOSS! KAOSS! KAOSS!

The KP3 is soooooo digital and awesome.

For bonus points you can trigger samples off it via external MIDI as long as it is in one shot mode.

PLUS knucka!

IT'S A PLUS

It's probably about time that I started participating in this thread, seeing that it has been partially responsible for a massive bout of G.A.S I've been going through lately - cheers guys!

In the last month or two I've picked up a bunch of hardware and am slowly moving away from a computer/DAW-based setup. Managed to snag the following through eBay/Gumtree for some nice prices:

Korg Volca Bass / Korg Volca Keys / Korg Volca Beats
Zoom MS70-CDR
Roland SDE-2000
Mackie 1402-VLZ
Arturia Beatstep
Roland MC-505

Hopefully picking up a Volca Sample to go with the other 3, and a Microgranny. I'm building a live dubtechno rig, and it seems to be rapidly expanding

That Burg video's wicked nowaysj, good example of what can be done with the Volcas!

You guys should be proud of me... I just let a pretty cherry Yamaha MT4X for 157 shipped go. Really wanted that bad boy. Just need to slow down in a major way.

Am on the prowl for an s-950 though... This akai vco poly I just bought has a 13 pin din connection that can connect to a variety of early akai samplers. Can route the samples through the poly architecture, filter, vca's. Can treat it like another osc, a sub osc, or just more texture. This sounds really interesting, as well as just to get a 12 bit for crunchy drum duty.

$300 for a Radias?

Looks a little beat. Seller has no sales.

But good price. I'm holding off. I've got analog poly. I've got very capable VA x2. I've got samplers, I'm good.

But you, my friends, could enjoy:

That sounds WAY to good too be true...aren't they normally twice that used?

Isn't there some buyer protection thing from paypal?

I'd honestly buy the fucker if I wasn't so overloaded right now. I've been getting on with the virus, but I might prefer a slightly more 1:1 knobby shallower synth that I can fuck with.

Where were we talking about gain staging? Here or studio thread?

Well, nothing you don't already know, but hearing it from an ugly dude can't hurt:

Those are some nice bits of kit. It's good that you have something to work towards. I'm trying to get a little live electro rig that is semi-modular. I have enough loose bits lying around from my regular studio and just going to add a few things to round it out and play around with some of these newer instruments. How do you like that Beatstep? I used to have that Roland SDE-2000. It was a nice digital delay.

I just lost a bid on a RSD-10. Someone wanted it more than me. I think I want to check a couple of these out.

The Zoom MS70-CDR is a fucking masterpiece! I've been lusting hard for a MicroGranny...I might have to just misbehave...

@nowaysj...I think it was the other thread with the gain staging? Anyway...Imma check that 4sure...ugly dudes have the best mix advice

I really want to check out that delay with pitch shifter...

I would want an S-950 just for the 12bit on drums. How much are they going for these days? I'm still keeping my S-5000, it's just not installed in my studio anymore.

edit:

Gosh, those things are huge!!
