etherphon comments on Found a sign for y'all

I get that having analog stuff that you physically wire together, or purpose-built digital stuff with a nice interface, is "real" and tactile and fun and all, but have you considered the fact that there's nothing you can do with that stuff that can't be emulated with software?

IMO you should keep one MIDI controller keyboard and sell everything else until money is less tight. (And also get yourself a bicycle, BTW.)

Sell 2 of your synths that have keyboards with more than 39 keys. You don't use them (be honest, we've all fallen victim to our own GAS) and you could use the money and space.

Specifically, sell them to me for a very good deal.

I put a hard stop on buying synths with keyboards after I got a 61 key controller. Then I found a Grandmother for $600, so now I just look at Eurorack stuff that I can't afford as I feed LFOs and envelopes into it from my Hydrasynth.

Have you considered the Dreadbox Nymphes? I don't have one, but it's on my list because it hits the Juno60/106 target very well while also being more flexible in terms of sound design. BYOKB, but I can see one of them sitting very well next to a digital workhorse like a Blofeld or MS2000R in a setup for when you need that analog feeling.
