Another update in the ongoing saga of my #ROMpler #GAS! Last time I had found a new, cheaper replacement for the #Ensonsiq SQr that had slipped through my fingers...I was emailing with the guy, planned to go buy it this Wednesday.

Yeah, he sold it yesterday 😅. That's Craigslist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, if a third one pops up, I'll know not to hesitate. If not, it wasn't meant to be.

This time.

Well it seems the gods have not released me from my #ROMpler #GAS just yet...I just found the same synth I was looking at (albeit in keyboard form, not rack) for less money, about 90 minutes away. Bit of a drive, but if the gods are going to insist, who am I to argue?

Reached out to the guy, so we'll see ...

While I am in an updating mood... if you've been following the Tale of my #ROMpler #GAS, you might recall that last we checked in I had decided to let the universe help me decide by waiting until the end of the month to see if I still wanted it *and* it was still there, and then buy it if both were true.

Universe decided for me because someone else bought it before I could. My extremely mild regret strongly suggests I made the right decision, more or less.

Came home from my weekly Magic game having sold another expensive card, so I decided to order the #Strega at last (based on my previous conversation with @benda). This is part 2 of my Make Noise Easel (0-Coast being the third and final part, which I'll probably pick up in the next year or two.) Yeah, I am still lusting over the #Taiga, but the Strega has been calling to me since its release. As for the #ROMpler, if it's still there at the end of the month and I still want it, I'll get it then.

Continued thread

I've used it on a couple tracks here and there (it's featured on "Simple Shapes on a Magnetic Medium" from Tales of Etherspace), I just need to spend some more time with it. And if it doesn't scratch the itch by the end of March, and the one I have my eye on (or another one) is available, I'll pull the trigger then.

If you've been following my adventures in #ROMpler #GAS you'll be excited, or disappointed, to know I have decided, after being sorely tempted by an enormous, battered keyboard and turning away at the last second, to curb my desire for the moment. I reminded myself that I actually have the coolest ROMpler/Pad machine of all time, the Wavestation, as a plugin on the iPad... I don't love doing music on the ipad but it seems like I can live with it as a ROMpler...
