Also, Korg Microsampler finally acquired!! It's exactly what I was hoping for, as I'm a sucker for keyboard samplers. Still boggles my mind there's a huge gap in the market for hardware samplers right now, software really killed them off but it makes sense for ease-of-use and all that. Give me a clunky interface any day!! Other new goodies in the studio include a TR-707, Alpha Juno 2, DOD Meatbox (not really a synth, but yeah), and a Roland VT-3 for cheesy vocal mangling/poor man's vocoder. Eventually I'd like to get a Warp Factory but the Electrix stuff seems to be really drying up on the used market/commanding high prices lately. Got my Filter Queen functional again (purchased it sans power supply, and they're oddly specific to replace) so my drum machines and FM synths are happy.

As for the Deepmind: it's a thick, versatile poly with an OTA filter for instant Juno-6 style goodness (if that's your thing). Onboard FX are decent, and gives you a lot to play with if you don't have other hardware FX/processing gear. Really hard to beat the polyphony and features for the price, and as someone said in an earlier post look for it used/on sale and you'll save $$$. Desktop module FTW, you can rack it if you're like me and have ever-decreasing desk space.
Glad to see there are many knob twiddlers about still on the boards here. Cheers y'all!
