I think this would also be a very good pedal for synthesizers. I like to play/make shoegaze music and I can hear tons of good sounds for that. It is beautifully weird and unpredictable! There are a lot of sounds I haven't heard other pedals make. Here are some of my thoughts on the pedal. Erika Synths Mini Matrix Mixer.Ok so I finally got my Microcosm and have taken a week or so to try and wrap my head around this thing. Tascam Porta One 4-Track Mini Studio, Roland MC-707, Walworth Iridium. I’ve had little time to to use and explore the synth, but it is pretty cool. I was an initial backer and funder of this crowd-funded hardware. I finally received the long awaited Game Changer MotoSynth. I also like the EQ, Pre Amps and the general aesthetics a tiny bit more than the zoom. I sold the Zoom off and purchased a Tascam Model 12, which has solo buttons and a bunch of features commonly found in analog mixers. I quickly decided although the Zoom was feature rich I missed having a solo button. The Behringer 1204 died and was replaced by a Zoom L-12 Mixer DAW interface. Summer 2020 : Zoom L-12 & Tascam Model 12 Spring 2020: Virus T12, Hologram Dream Sequence, & Collision Devices Black Hole Symmetry, & 1st Batch of Hologram Microcosm I repurposed the Zotek box to run Adobe Creative Cloud Video Collection, DaVinci Resolve, TouchDesigner to run as a secondly workstation. A teenage version of me would have loved to spend hours in here.Īt this point I switched to a dual Samsung Curved LCD monitor system and added Mackie 824 monitors with stands to elevate everything. At this point the studio is feeling “big” and expansive. With the additions of a few hardware synths it became necessary to start putting things on keyboard stands. In rather quick succession I located used (because they are cheaper) versions of the Nord Lead 1 Rack, Moog Subsequent 37, Kurzwiel K-2600XS, Roland JD-XA, & Arturia Matrix Brute. The Studio version of Abelton is loaded with every instrument they make and more sound libraries one could ever need. I was able to get this Abelton/Push2 bundle for $899 USD. The ideal time to make that purchase in during the Black Friday holiday shopping season when massive price reductions are offered from various retailers. I quickly outgrew the 8 track limits of Abelton Lite and expanded to Abelton Studio v10 bundled with the Push 2 Controller. Winter 2018 : Abelton Studio 10 and Push 2. Abelton has a massive learning curve compared to other DAW platforms. At this time I was still learning Ableton Lite. A Behringer Xenyx 1204 mixer was also added shortly after the addition of the new DJ controller. In the fall of 2018 I purchased an new Mac Book Pro 15″ along with Roland DJ-202 controller which was bundled with Serato DJ Pro. Here’s the very capable Zotac IDQ1 desktop studio The controller was bundled with Abelton Lite and thus the foundation of the studio and the main DAW for the near feature. With a Mac Book Pro and Zotack barebones cpu I purchased a set of Mackie CR-5 BT monitors and an AKIA MPC controller. On the rare occasion that I focused on my career as an exhibiting artist I was fortunate enough to borrow the gear I needed from various people and organizations. While living in NYC I had been focused on web development, IT Administration and freelance work that kept me busy. Living in NYC is expensive and space is limited, so my time there was really spent getting rid of gear and not collecting it. Since moving back to WNY after 13 years in New York City this author decided to build a home post production studio.
