Backend software engineer, retro game fan, and synth enjoyer.
Nice to meet you!
I just got a new expansion card for my E-Mu: "Techno Synth Construction Yard". Flipping through the presets there's lots of fun, cheesy sounds like you'd expect. And also at least three panflutes??
Now I'm on the hunt for all this panflute techno I've been missing out on!
The SteamPipe's set up!
This synth uses a variant of Karplus Strong to replicate physical sounds like wind instruments, percussive sounds, and some string sounds.
Unlike with most devices, I have no frame of reference for how to make my own sounds on it, but the presets are great.
Unfortunately the manual doesn't go in-depth on sound design, it's more a list of knobs. I've got some research ahead of me!
Fun weekend project.
I got an E-MU E6400 from Perfect Circuit's vintage flash sale, along with a Gotek floppy emulator.
Installation was way easier than I expected! I just had to move the cables over from the old floppy drive and screw it in place.
I'm using the new Digitone 2 as a temporary keyboard and sample source until I can get it fully hooked up to my setup.
Pretty rad!
I just got an MC-707 hooked up atop my desktop-synth tower.
I'm looking forward to diving more into Zen-Core sound design, and using it as an eight-part synth. From what I've seen so far, it's reminding me a lot of the JV-1080 with partials and sample oscillators.
I've focused on the Deluge as the main brain of my setup, replacing the Hapax. Even though it lacks the extra midi ports, the arranger mode is just fantastic. I can't see myself needing more than 16 channels anyway 
I got my synth stand from kvgear set up, and I'm impressed with how well it handles cable management.
I'm able to have my Deluge, M8, Syntakt, and even an MPC hooked up without a ton of visible cables, along with a Hapax for sequencing sitting on my table.
It looks super clean, and it's awesome having everything available at a moment's notice.
The MPC's the newest addition to my setup, still thinking about how best to incorporate it into my workflow...
