Korg Prologue (8-voice), Polyend Tracker (for drumz and sample mischief), Elektron Model_Samples (because for portability and messing around, it's the easiest) and now I just purchased a Syntakt. Run stuff into a mixer>interface>FL Studio. Sometimes I will also plug in my G&L Fallout guitar and make guitar sounds and play with those as well. Also have a Novation Circuit (OG) floating around that I admit I still love, despite my hate for Components. I've been trying to streamline my pedals down to what I NEED, but you know how that goes...
How do you like the Tracker? That's a piece of gear I've always flirted with but never had the guts to pull the trigger on or ever had a chance to play with.
I'm pretty mad at Polyend for preloading samples that are licensed only for non-commercial use with attribution. I'm used to assuming whatever comes with the gear is safe to use in my music, but they don't even tell you who to attribute the samples to so I don't know how it would even be possible to comply with the license terms. I asked their support about it years ago and never even got a response.
Edit: I suppose I should actually comment on the device itself - it's great for coming up with rhythmic ideas and such but a really clunky workflow for sound design and mixing.
That is pretty weird, I never would have considered that with factory samples/sounds.
RE: Usability - That does kind of make sense from what I've heard, that it isn't really a sound design thing as much as its more for arrangement.
