My current setup DSI Prophet ' 08 Kilpatrick Audio Phenol TC Electronic Flashback x 4 TC Electronic T 2 Akai Tomcat Korg Electribe 2 Alesis SR 18 Tascam Portastudio 424 Technics Dolby Cassette Deck Tascam DP 008 EXI didn ' t sell anything to fund my Prophet ' 08 . Just went ahead and bought it . I am very much against acquiring too much gear and then just having it sit there like you ' re in a museum or something As it stands , I believe I might be a bit over what I consider to be enough but it essentially functions like this I wanted to get away from the computer so the P ' 08 is my immediate synth for when I want to get ideas out quick but also works well for sculpting sounds and the Tascam DP 008 EX is my goto for recording on the go . The Phenol I use for arps and sound effects strange tones . The Korg Electribe 2 is super powerful in what it can do and I have not learned it yet but it can function as a clock , midi controller , ambient loop station , effects manglerbasically , a jack of all trades super efficient . The TC Electronic pedals are my effects . I haven ' t gone too crazy with effects . The Tomcat Alesis both serve as drum machine . The Tomcat is a rudimentary analogue synth drumkit and the Alesis has the more oldschool t r y i n g t o soundlikearealdrummachine sounds . My two tape decks , the Tascam and Technics each do something different . The Tascam is able to control multiple channels and handle EQ whereas the Technics is more like a mastering station for cassette . I wanted to acquire instruments that each serve a purpose and I try really hard to stray from GAS but it is hard . Hope this helps .
