Info on my music gear and setup, in case this's useful to someone. I'm not an expert at this, stuff here's a combination of bumbling and too much research ;3
Equipment
Keith McMillen K-Board
Little USB 25 key keyboard/controller I find handy for playing stuff in a DAW.
Roland TR-8
Really like using this. Sequencer is straight forward, and I'm using it to send clock elsewhere. No messing in menus.
Arturia Matrixbrute
Feel like this is a bit wasted on me. Would probably be good to replace it with a keyboard and other MIDI controllers, and/or something gnarly like a PWM Malevolent.
Korg Electribe ES-1
Sampler that loads from SmartMedia cards. Limited capacity, but fine and cheapish. Main downside is it can't play samples chromatically.
korg_electribe_ea-1
Haven't used it much. It's fun to make weird sounds with it?
Korg Electribe ER-1
Thought this was a kinda bland drum machine, but you can actually make some really cool sounds.
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.
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.
Some dinky generic spring reverb box. You need a little amp to drive it out of a mixer, so haven't been finding it useful now it's not attached to my bass amp.
M-Audio M-Gear EX-P
Two expression pedals I have plugged-in to the Matrix Brute.
Roland UM-ONE mk2
USB→MIDI cable for connecting my computer to other MIDI hardware.
Yamaha TX81Z
FM synth for a reasonable price. Haven't tried making my own patches yet, but having fun with the stuff included and stuff I've found online.
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)?
