Ah right, got you 🙂
iPad Mini 6 or iPad Pro?
Microfreak is a good idea.
So now, this is what I want the most:
1- Microfreak
2- Behringer B2600
3- Linnstrument
I wish my budget was 2K and not $600.
There is something completely new coming apparently. Price is yet to be announced… but it has 4(!) joysticks..
I'd love to try the Linnstrument with the UDO Super Six desktop they just announced. If you're gonna blow your budget by 4x why not go all out on 7x?
Seriously though, a Behringer Neutron combined with a Crave is a pretty fun combo and is actually in budget.
This is a great list. All solid choices. The microfreak can scratch your initial itch for a new toy, without breaking the bank. Its hybrid nature and tactile keyboard give you things you can’t get with IOS. Most importantly, it sounds really nice, looks fun as hell, and you can experiment with it for years.
The 2600 isn’t cheap, but isn’t out of reach either. Maybe you could save up for one after the Microfreak? The microfreak has a couple CV in/out, so you could use the 2600 and MF together, which would be fun.
Which 2600 were you looking at? The gray and blue 2600s have real spring reverb tanks in them, but are like $100 more.
Linnstrument has 2 models, the smaller one is less expensive. I really want one of these too. Would be so nice to play the SWAM sounds with!
Touché mpe controller $229

For 600 bucks I would put the money into processing or control or experimentals tbh or spend 200 on massive RAM

You could get a nice thing that needs fixing, and a soldering iron.

Now I want 5000$ of gear. Really. STOP!
I think $600 was the price for the newly announced Hydra Explorer - an amazing synth engine with a poly aftertouch keyboard - can’t go wrong at that price!
It seems that the SP-404mk2 will be newly released. If a heavy user of SP-404 buys it to update his creative environment after careful consideration, I don't see a problem.
As a synth noob, I got a MicroFreak for my birthday and am loving it. Thought it sounded a bit tinny until I plugged it to an analogue octaver and some other basic fx, and then BOOM!
While we’re on the subject of relatively inexpensive toys, I plan to usually have the Freak plugged into either my iPad or some kind of guitar pedalboard/amp setup, which is fine. But I’ve also been itching for a much lighter travel solution for my guitar that I’d want to apply to the MicroFreak, which really only seems to truly come alive in the context of a larger rig.
Do you think a Fender Mustang Micro headphone preamp would do the trick for the MicroFreak? If I’m out and about with a battery pack, my MicroFreak and a pair of headphones, I’d want it to sound beefier. I was also looking at the NU-X MP-2, but it looked fiddlier and wasn’t audio USB class compliant (which isn’t a dealbreaker given the main use case, but it’d be nice to have as yet another iPad compatible audio interface).
And no, I don’t want to have to fiddle with my phone
, let along an iPad.
And by “travel solution”, in these dark times I mean “going to my gf’s house”.
Update: I did get a second-hand Fender Mustang Micro from Reverb as a new musical toy, and it’s fabulous. I know it’s all software, but my reptilian brain can’t comprehend how much virtual amp is stuffed into such a small package.
It’s impossible to dial in much variation with the effects, given the limited user interface (there’s no app that I’m aware of, unlike the NUX MP-2), but I’m not complaining: the NUX MP-2 doesn’t even have a physical volume knob, and I value plug-and-playability over tweakability in a package like this. Compared to app-based amp sims or even other modelling amps, it’s much easier to dive into something playable off the bat, which is the aim of the device.
It’s much better on a guitar (duh), but with the “Studio Preamp” setting and the EQ set to the lowest-end boost, it can supply my MicroFreak with the right kind of presence that a naked signal generally lacks in a purely standalone setting. (In terms of value, I’d only recommend the Mustang Micro if you owned a guitar.)
Hugest Mustang Micro weakness: the delays are relatively untweakable. Only one delay setting (the one with the slowest decay) allows you to vary the delay time! WTF?
