   * [[yamaha_qy100]]\\ Was a fun thing to take on holiday. Nice to sit outside and play with, but normally I'm a bit too impatient to want to mess with the UI.
   * [[mackie_onyx_1640i]]\\ Big mixer I got a good price on. Was hard to find one that could work with a useful amount of effects sends. Maybe in hindsight should've got a matrix mixer.
-  * [[alto tx132]]\\ Way too big and too powerful for a studio, but they were only $10 more than the next size down :3

   * [[sony_tc-124]]\\ Tape recorder I got at a carboot sale, doesn't work right anymore.
   * <del>[[chromatone_ct-312]]\\ Got one when they were giving them away. Feels really plasticy. I don't have the room to keep it setup, but would use it as a MIDI controller if I did.</del> Ended up selling it, keys felt too yuck to use it as a controller.

   * [[Roland DEP-5]]\\ Effects unit. Don't really understand my way around it yet, but been enjoying the stereo delay.
   * [[Roland JV-880]]\\ Sounds really nice. Some real nice crystally sounds, and some big orchestra hits. You can DIY your own add-on cards, which might be a fun alternative to a sampler (for my use case)?
+  * [[DigiTech TSR-12]]\\ Another multi-effects rack unit I've been using a lot, though really just using the presets so far.
   * [[Novation 61SL MKIII]]\\ MIDI controller keyboard. Sequencer is real nice and easy to use.
+  * [[Waldorf Blofeld]]\\ Was looking for something wavetabley and say a real good price on one of these. Feel like I was missing real cold digital sounds and this fits that. Before that was after a [[korg_01rw|01R/W]] but never see them for sale.

 Trying to be realistic with this :)
-  * JL Cooper Synapse\\ I really like the MSB+ I have, and have been looking for another (seems like I got lucky finding the first one!). Even better would be be one of these 16 input 20 output units by the same company. Would save me me a slot having to link two units too. Have never seen one for sale, just old ads. on Reverb.\\ They also made a 16/20 one with the MSB branding, like the MSB versus the Rev 2 there are some differences in functionality.

-  * Still trying to decide on a [[aampler]]. Problem is ones that have a gritty sound I like don't have a great workflow. I really just want to prepare the sample son my computer, put them on an SD card, and plug that in. Recording with the line-in isn't that useful to me, apart from maybe using my voice.

Still tempted by 12-bit stuff, but more as a thing to sample straight into. For now I'm fine using the [[korg_es-1]] and using recording changes on the pitch knob.
