my new setup is complete. i can now hotswap tabletop synths. it has an ideal layout for voltage processing for the GRIND, CRAVE, and EDGE. ive incorporated a parametric EQ, a better accessible effects chain, and better integration of the tape deck. also ive yet again run out of instrument cable.

Before

After

as the year closes, i want to reflect on the progression of my home studio and the journey ive been on. it’s been a good grind for about 4 months, starting with the TD-3. i got it back in 2022 for $110. it sat idle until 2025, when in late august i started to think about it a lot. “wouldn’t it be cool if you knew how to use it?” so, i taught myself (while drunk and stoned) to use it. after learning how to use it screwing around with it for a bit, i got hooked on analog. the rd-9 was required in my view for the full acid techno sound. after getting the RD-9, i wanted more places to share my music and had the thought, “upload to newgrounds” without having thought about the website in years. as a result, i met some really cool techno producers and gained so much knowledge. after that, i wanted the rd-78 for the cowbell and at the same time i got the behringer edge, then the grind. i purchased one compressor and limiter module with 2 channels and for some reason the seller sent 5. i entered into a contest on Newgrounds with my new friend Shabadaman (we got 5th). i was convinced to get the behringer crave after experiencing the interactions that the edge and grind have together and talking to Shabs who used one in a song. never enough synths (and now not enough space), so i got what is single-handedly the biggest synth i have (the 2600).

been honestly an insane year and i wouldn’t think a year ago that this is what id be doing right now.

more music to come as Weed Music for Weed People has one more song i have to finish and then the album itself will be finished.

first track of mine to feat the rd-8 and also feat a better understanding of how to use the 2600

this is the setup now. unless stuff goes on the wall or below (not convenient) this is the max use of space.

got a hold of the TD-3-MO finally and wanted to use it with the traditional TD-3, especially after having used the TD-3 with the TD-3 synth engine in the GRIND in Choose Your Fairy. these two definitely work best as a team, hence the title.

also trying out the yamaha r100 delay/reverb processor for the first time in this. this mid 80s unit is so badass for the price. it’s a parametric module with 4 parameters that is midi timing enabled with a foot pedal bypass input. just make sure to separate the targeted track(s) as it only outputs the 100% wet signal, so mix these tracks together and balance to taste.
