FAMC Liquid Foot Pro+ LF+ unprecedented foot control (with visual feedback) over Ableton and my Kemper amp profiler. great having a LCD over every button to remind you what it does on each song! Oh yeah, and my Musicman Reflex guitar in green sparkle finish.

Awesome mono synth… 3 oscillators make for a beastly, ultra thick sound, lots of cv shenanigans if you want.

Received mine back in the summer, most of my Micromac-focussed explorations are here:

Starts with pretty raw first impressions, some stuff that's more like tracks, and more recent material where I'm working on getting percussive sounds.

Nice! I really want the x4 flashback myself, would compliment the TeraEcho nicely I bet.

First: Korg MS20 mini - so much fun, has great sounds, has knobs and sockets to stick things in and really makes music fun again rather then boring old VST's. Never going to buy a VST synth again - they maybe easy to integrate into Live but they are boring as a big sloppy fart.
Second: Dream Dark Matter Cymbals

I got quneo as well. I got it setup with a pretty simple live set, 4 banks of samples on the pads, pressure mapped to volume, directions mapped to sutofilters. Haven't figured out the rotaries yet. Really like it, takes up fuck all space too :)

I had the same fun experience with a Doepffer Dark Energy II this year. I record long tweak sessions and then slice them up in Kontakt, wonderful.

That's funny, I come from a 30 year history of owning analogue synths and effects (had the original Korg MS-20) still have my Mono/Poly, a Moog Voyager, Minitaur and all the foogers and love them all, believe me, they are amazing, but I discovered Zebra in 2013 and that is definitely not boring! :D

my girlfriend's brother got one of those. he's a pedalholic/pedal snob and he says that it's his second favorite pedal of all time. i have to admit it is one cool little beast.

it is a great pedal. i love the way you can get inside its guts using the toneprint editor. its possible to program some cool chorus and flanging effects, reassign knob functions including assigning them up to three parameters each.. yet it never gets overcomplicated. it sounds fantastic too of course which is the main thing :)

Studio One producer to professional upgrade. I'm very "bi", I don't just use "live" :lol:
