I’m a fan of grooveboxes and other do-it-all gear. It gets me away from the computer and lets me focus on just making music, and typically there’s some kind of limitation to force creativity.

Here’s what I’ve got.

  • Roland Verselab MV-1
  • Akai Force
  • Synthstrom Deluge
  • Sonicware SmplTrek
  • Roland SH-4d (though I technically use this one solely as a synth module, but still)

Bonus points if you’ve got tracks you want to share! Like I made this track on a Maschine+ and then mixed in post in Logic. https://soundcloud.com/ndguardian/dreams-of-loss

    Try out a headless M8! That’s what I did before getting the standalone unit, and it’s a way smaller investment to still get the full M8 software experience.
