Had another tier to use above the S49 so I pulled out the Maschine Mikro and the old BeatStep.
I don’t usually use the Maschine because it’s always tucked away and not easily accessible
Might be nice to have it readily available

i need to use my pedals more because they’ve got CHARACTER!
This DFX9 was one of the first pedals i ever bought. Sadly i got rid of it and i replaced it a couple years ago.
It is so dirty and crunchy. Late 80s digital so it’s kinda bitcrushy
Sounds fantastic on synths

still moving things around in my studio to find the optimal setup for what I’ve got.
just moved the DX over my S49 and the mixer and pedals are now raised beside the 2600. It feels nicer

still just having fun experimenting and understanding different ways to use the modular and semi-modulars.
Here I’m using just the VCO from the 110, and a patch from Victor going through the VCF and VCA on the 2600. Mixed in a saw wave from the 2600 as well
sounds so nice

i typically rely on reverb in my DAW, but i tried my Walrus Audio Ambient pedal on a simple synth voice and it sounded incredible!
I know it’s a mono verb but using that before hitting the delay and verb(now lowered) adds a great ambience
I like the Haze setting - there’s less noticeable predelay

Just added a gorgeous new resonant filter(Surges) to the setup. I was really looking forward to this

Pulled out my trusty Slarp pedal by walrus audio.
Threw it it on my Yamaha DX along with the Voyager overdrive.
Sounds so good

Been exploring this pedal lately. I inherited it from my brother in law who passed away a few years ago and haven’t spent much time with it yet.
It’s got some great creative options in there

My little synth corner is really coming together now. I got the laptop stand to lift the DX and put the Pedal Power below it, while still having some space for a couple pedals.
Mixer and MidiHub tucked over to the side to give lots of elbow room in front.
It’s feeling good
