I've already got a couple granular engines in my modular rack but that Lemondrop is hard to ignore. Seems super powerful, especially considering its size! Seems like it can create some really beautiful sounds and textures.

That's an awesome demo, thanks for sharing! It really is appealing...the polyphonic aftertouch that the keyboard version has is also really exciting to me. The only other instrument I've seen with a similar appeal is the Expressive Osmose, which I'm less excited by in terms of sound design workflow.
Recently moved so the setup isn't perfect yet, but I'm quite content with the instruments themselves! The Keystep Pro sits at the center of everything but I'm a big fan of playful sequencers at the moment, so I often combine it with the Polyend Play or my iPad for sequencing experimentation. The fact that it can do Midi>CV conversion is invaluable to me, opens up a ton of possibilities.
Currently, I have been messing around with:
- Modular Rack (probably not worth going into detail here unless people are curious haha)
- Cobalt8
- Microfreak + MS70 for FX (not setup atm)
- Polyend Play
- Polyend Tracker
- Meris Mercury7 in the fx loop for reverb (special shout out for this as it's probably my favorite reverb)
The one outlier here is the Polyend Tracker. I really love it but don't often find myself using it with the rest of my gear and am usually using it as a standalone device. Maybe because I like to do a lot of playful experimentation with the rest of my gear, while my brain is a little more intentional with the Tracker? Curious if anyone here has had a similar experience, or has any ideas for creative ways to implement it!
Shout out to the pride icon as well!!
I've really been eyeing the Hydrasynth for its sound design workflow (as an alternative to the Cobalt8 I currently have), how did you find the learning curve on it? Is it fairly menu dive-y, or do the onboard controls give you a clear enough picture as you build on it? My biggest complaint with the Cobalt8 is how little info you can see at any given moment. Powerful synth and sounds great but I don't know that I love the workflow.
Oh heck yeah that's awesome, seems like an efficient and fun setup!
Fun! Always wanted to try a stacked keys setup but it doesn't make sense for most of the work I do. Are you running your controller through Mainstage, or something similar?

Silvana Estrada (Abrazo) - Singer/Songwriter with a gorgeous voice
She also has a killer album called La Sagrado (with Charlie Hunter)
