E-MU MP-7 Command station showing instrument 0012: "wnd:Panflute 1" under the "TeCnO" ROM.
I got an expansion card for my E-Mu: "Techno Synth Construction Yard". Flipping through the presets there's lots of fun, cheesy sounds like you'd expect. And also at least three panflutes??
Now I'm on the hunt for all this panflute techno I've been missing out on!

A picture of part of my synth setup, showing the Steampipe, a Syntakt, a Digitone 2, Iridium, and a part of a Moog Matriarch, with a Moogle crochet sitting on it.
The SteamPipe's set up!
It uses Karplus-Strong to make sounds, so unlike with most devices, I have no frame of reference for how to make my own sounds on it, but the presets are great.
Since the manual is mostly a list of knobs. I've got some research ahead of me!

Fun weekend project!
I got an E-MU E6400 #sampler last week, along with a Gotek floppy emulator.
Installation was easier than I expected! I just had to move the cables over and screw it in place.
I'm using a #Digitone 2 to interact with it until I can get it fully hooked up to my setup.

I've focused on the Deluge as the main brain of my setup, replacing the Hapax. Even though it lacks the extra midi ports, the arranger mode is just fantastic. I can't see myself needing more than 16 channels anyway 😛
A tower of synthesizers, with a Roland MC-707 on top. Also pictured is a Synthstrom Deluge, Torso T-1, Syntakt, Dirtywave M8, and Korg Modwave module.
I just got an MC-707 hooked up atop my desktop-synth tower.
I'm looking forward to diving more into Zen-Core sound design, and using it as an eight-part synth. From what I've seen so far, it's reminding me a lot of the JV-1080 with partials and sample oscillators.

The MPC's the newest addition to my setup, I'm still thinking about how to best incorporate in my workflow.
It's neat playing with different sequencers and seeing what kind of music it guides me towards, the MPC feels the most like a DAW, maybe it'll lead me to less generative music...

Synth stand, showing the Squarp Hapax sequencer, Deluge, Syntakt, M8, and MPC Live 2.
I got my synth stand set up, and I'm impressed with how well it handles cable management.
I'm able to have gear hooked up without tons of visible cables.
It looks super clean, and it's awesome having everything available at a moment's notice.
