Abandoning the computer

[GreatExpectations]

I spend all day at work in front of a computer and so recently the last thing I want to do in the evenings is sit in front of a computer making music. I have a push but I still feel tied to the computer too much. What I'm looking for is something that is completely independent, ideally an all in one solution. I don't mind having limitations and I think that's kind of half the appeal (less time clicking, more time playing). I've only just started to research this and the first thing that came up was an OP-1.

I'd love to hear about alternatives and peoples take on the OP-1.

Cheers

Take a look at the Elektron Octatrack, and the Korg emx as well.

The Elektron Octatrack would be another box to check out.

Elektron Octatrack


And then Monomachine, Analog Four, Machinedrum, and Analog rytm

What about a piano or guitar (or any other instrument that doesn't require power supply)?
Glad Påsk!

And while you are at it... Take a look at the Elektron Octatrack...

It sounds like you should get an acoustic guitar or something. Whenever I want to get away from the computer, I turn to either my guitar or my Elektron Octatrack.

Hmm...ever heard of that thing they call an (Akai) MPC ?

[Broomptish]

Never heard of it but think you should take a look at the elektron ockatrak!

So the octatrack is worth looking at then?

Also any of the many other groovebox and workstation instruments made over the last 25 years.
