I would love to make my own electronic instruments. I barely know how to solder, let along do electronics :(

Interesting electronic music related people

• Allieway - Youtube channel
• Meng Qi - mengqimusic.com

I think some kinda sampler or sample player is what I want next.

I really liked playing with the ToneMatrix website, and would like a grid-based sequencer. Lots of room to play and get surprised.

• Monome Grid - https://monome.org/#grid
  Bare-bones, just a controller you can hook-up to other things.
• Polyend Seq
  Maybe perfect, but expensive.
• Deluge
  Maybe similar to the Seq, but lacking all those MIDI outs.

I really like the design of the Arp synths (etc.). Really like how easy to understand they seem, and like the sliders.

The Omni has a really lush sound.

• Arturia DrumBrute Review – How good is it?
• MiniBrute 2 vs 2S: What are the differences?

Analogue! About $600! D: More like $350 on Gumtree?

More I see/hear it the less I want it though.

Matrixbrute is amazing but never ever affordable (several grand [whoops I bought one secondhand]). Minibrute closer to my budget? (oh god the Minibrute 2/s is like $1000). Micro is unappealingly small.

Smaller keyboard than the Korg MS20 Mini, but the arpeggiator is really appealing.

Bass synth.

• Erica Synths DB-01 Pros and Cons // Almost Perfect..

All their stuff seems ace.

Lovely drum machine. Analogue, also some samples and even FM. Would love one of these.

• Jomox Alpha Base Drum Machine

Synth.

TR-09 clone, but a wonderful one with lots of control.

• https://www.ebay.com.au/sch/?_nkw=korg%20triton&_sop=15&LH_PrefLoc=2

Looks a lot like the Opsix, with uses wavetable synth.

Kinda seems like the Matrix Brute's matrix/grid, with maybe an easier interface? Use it as a sequencer, use is as a keyboard of customised sounds. Seems rad. 3 digital wavetable VCOs, 3 analogue.

• The Utterly Unique Feature of the Medusa Hybrid Synth

FM synth with lots of texture
