Ok that makes sense. I recall you speaking very well of it and I was wondering whatfoosnark wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 12:40 pmYeah. Long story short, last summer I really felt like I had lost something in the transition to the ER-301 based setup. I had a big rethink on it, and went through a few phases of changes since then. I had been using the ER-301 for two things:
-- Replacing things I shouldn't have replaced. The Hertz Donut mk2 was the major example. I got some fine complex oscillator sounds out of the ER-301 but it didn't feel right... so I tried a DPO, then an HD mk3, and finally went back to HD mk2.
-- Doing stuff that I can do better with Bitwig and the ES-3/ES-6. That includes some experiments, and some rarely used patches where I can't justify owning specific hardware full-time.
At the same time I felt like I had overkill and choice paralysis in some areas, so I trimmed things down and built things back up differently. I'm still kind of shaking out the changes there. For the moment I'm not going to buy or sell anything else, but I expect by this summer I'll have shifted more stuff around and be pretty close to a "finished" modular. If I'm not deluding myself
(But then I'll still be playing with trying new pedals...)
had happened. I can kinda understand what you mean though. My system is pretty small,
still I have some difficulty deciding what I want to add to it these days. Mostly because
I can't imagine running out of stuff to do with what I already have. Decisions about adding
functionality and interest to it have become somewhat more difficult. A lot of the times
I think that I need something for this or that, I realize that I can already do that.
