Ugh yeah, I've grown way too accustomed to making music digitally, it's become less fun as a result. I moved out a couple of years ago, and had trouble finding room for my instruments. As a result, I barely touched my synthesizers (or midi controllers) and on top of that my mixer broke down last year, so yeah... I did very recently create a cheap rig for my instruments to sit on though! Right now I own a Juno-D, Microkorg and SP404. There's a couple of other synthesizers I'd love to own, but I should probably make more use out of what I already own before deciding on buying anything new. I was thinking of getting back into it and buy a Behringer XENYX 1204USB mixer. Speaking of which, what hardware do you use to record your sessions? And what's the software you use to mix it all down? I've been listening to your sessions off and on as they popped up in my feed. I really like live recordings, with all its little imperfections :)

I know what you mean! It's impossible to have your music not sound mechanical when everything is created using a piano roll...
I have both of my synths plugged into my loop pedal, which is plugged into an Avid M-box. The midi box streams the sound into Logic, which I use for all of my post-production (which I try to keep to a bare minimum). It's a pretty basic setup for now. The boss RC30 only has two channels; I'd like to have a little more control than that...
Keep checking your feed. I have a couple more sessions on the way!

That's cool. As I mentioned somewhere in a review of your songs, I got a Juno-D as well, but yours looks a bit broken (I mean the pitchbender)

Haha, yeah (nice eye!)...
I brought all of my gear out to a stupid awesome metal jam session a couple months ago and the tip of the pitchbender got chipped off somewhere en route.
It is still fully functional though :)
