My favorite monosynth right now

Great sequencer, fun oscillators, and a patchbay make this pretty great. I love the filter. I don't use Brute Factor much tbh and don't really care for the sound. The RackBrute addon was a brilliant idea, and the MiniBrute 2/2S are excellent additions to a Eurorack setup, giving you a slew of basic module functionality, a sequencer, etc, and it all integrates flawlessly.

Semi Modular Creation Station

If Ableton 10 and the computer is the brains of my setup, This saucy device is the central nervous system. Being a standalone semi modular sequencer, This thing is center when I MIDI out of it to IN/Thru hardware devices from the analog Drumbrute drum machine to Romplers such as the E-MU Audity 2000. You have to almost go out of your way to make it sound bad.

Its a beast, a monster, a new type of Flagship..

This is so new I have not delved too much into it yet. The sequencer is the highlight along with the patchbay... The sequencer is a new type that allows for things... I have only read about but soon I will sample the goods.
