Additional Gear:
Korg Kontrol49, i love it, but the editor and software stuff does not work on mac anymore since rosetta was removed.
Waldorf microQ which is a little bit of a pain in the posterior to use with its mod matrix, but the Arpeggiator is one of the best I have used so far. I really love it.
Jomox Airbase99 which sounds spectacular in my opinion, but using its front controls is even worse than the ones on the microQ. But there is a nice editor for max for live i use a lot.
DSI Tetr4 pretty sweet sounding but pretty much unusable without an editor you have to buy from soundtower. Problem is: this thing sucks... it gives you all the parameters and looks nice and you find everything in it in no time, but notes keep hanging from time to time, it seems to forget certain parameters from time to time, you have to connect the tetr4 over usb AND midi to get the editor running and so on and so forth. if it would burn, fall, break, disappear i really could not care less. if you complain about the spectralis do yourself a favor: Don't buy a DSI Tetr4!!!!
Elektron machinedrum mk2, best drumcomputer i ever used. If there would be an analog version of it sounding like an xbase or dsi tempest i would sell a kidney to get one!
Elektron Monomachine I like this thing a lot, the way it is used, but soundwise it is very digital. It sounds very thin in my opinion compared to the spectralis.
Elektron Octatrack great sampling tool, but somehow I don't use it much... or... at all.... don't know why actually...
Yamaha DX200 I don't know what to say... you turn it on, you press play, you tweak a lil, and it will put a smile onto your face in no time. But i guess you have to like the dx7 fm sound.
I'm thinking of selling everything except the Spectralis and the DX200 because I use those two the most, and add a Jomox Xbase999 and a Access Virus TI to my setup.
