How mighty the battle is.
I've fallen in love with futzing with little analog synthesizers in the Volca line. I'm determined to put out a synth/post-punk release this year, and there's a lot to digest when it comes to workflow and actual usage of these little noise boxes. I've managed to pick up all but the Mix (and don't really need that as I have an 8 channel mixer on my desktop), and it's a little overwhelming coming from basically the plug-and-play punk rock guitar world.
I recently watched Trent Reznor's extended interview for a documentary, "I Dream of Wires":
And.. just look at that background! Knobs! Switches! BLINKENLIGHTS!
Of course, that sent me into a youtube hole: what are these things? what can you do with them? How much do they---oh crap, maybe nevermind. Definitely a far cry from my little ~$100USD (used) volcas. But boy howdy, now I have some goals. (Crypto related: Fuck a lambo. Eurorack, baby.)
I can definitely see where I want to progress. Can't wait.
