I have also been looking for a synth/groove box recently. I’ve been doing deep dives in tutorials/reviews on YouTube, sweetwater, and reverb. The price point is all over the place with some sub $300 US machines that have cool features but steep learning curves to the multi $K machines that can do it all. I’m a total noob to sampling and beat making so I’m probably going to go the cheaper route and also snag a used Korg monologue synth. Here’s the few that I’ve been looking into:

Roland P6

Yamaha SeqTrak

Elektron Digitakt II

There’s also the legendary Akai MPC (praise to J Dilla) for chopping samples and beat making.

If you’re into tinkering and into open source software look up Bespoke Synth. It’s digital modular synth that you can use external hardware and link to a DAW

And don’t forget you can always get a midi keyboard and use your DAW of choice.

I too have been playing it on repeat. I played it around the house today and my wife agreed that it slaps

I followed your napkin

Ah, the Rathole. Simpler times

And now it’s a really cool concert venue

Smithers, this monkey will need a lot of your blood.

Task failed successfully. I’d eat em. Did you use lye or baking soda for the pretzelification?

Needs more butter

Hell yeah! I drank so much Aguila when I was in Colombia, I had to buy a t shirt with the logo as a souvenir.

Anyone got any Tang and Rice Krispy squares?

Patience, practice and have fun with it dude. A little over a year ago I picked up a sketchpad and pencil and just started doodling my dog lying around the house. I’ll throw on my headphones and listen to music while I let my pencil, pen or paint brush lead me see where we ended up. It’s a great escape and absolutely low stakes. What ever comes out isn’t going to be the Mona Lisa, and who cares? You have made something and that is something to be proud of

I really have to give huge props to Bob. I watch his shows after my bartending job on Wednesday nights and it has definitely given me great techniques for my sketching and water color painting.

It’s so funny- that was the first one I did and I did not set out to do a conifer. I just let my pen lead me and that’s where we ended up

Wow thank you. It’s easier than it seems, watch the video I posted in another comment. I was surprised by how well they come out by just layering little squiggles in the shape of a tree.

Looks Devine! I love a good barleywine

Don’t call brain names.

Weirdo swarm unite!

I’ll give you five bucks for the bird if it’s still alive

I am really fond of your work. The color with this one is excellent!
