Elektron Syntakt looks/sounds great. Bit of a shame that there isn't a proper song mode, nor seperate analogue audio outs. Otherwise, it'd be pretty much be my desert island synth.

I end up using Monomachine's song mode to pattern switch other Elektron devices. It's mad you end up having to merge MIDI and route it back on itself, from both a Digitakt and a Monomachine to get something that has probability trigs and a song mode that isn't just chaining single patterns together.
Roll on Cirklon. Only 3+ years on the wait list.
You've got a Cycles, so I imagine even the sounds aren't a big draw for you?

ah i had a cycles for 2 weeks, made what i could with it, then sold it on. at the moment im playing with a yamaha a4000 sampler, i had one when i was 17 and starting out, it's quite a nice sampler with great fx section.
all the good people left elektron, even the demos are not that great imo. but song mode dudes, what i want to see is a song mode.

TX-6 at that price is bonkers. You could get a brand new Korg mw 2408 for 2/3rds of that pricing. I suspect the TX-6 it isn't exactly SSL quality, either.
Sampler wise, I'm using eSPi on the PC a lot. Love the simplicity of the UI, how fast it is to make a beat and the character of the sound. Only rack hardware one I've been tempted by is an S950, but that's more about the timestrech for me than as an actual sampler, so I just use Akaizer on the PC for those duties. I'll probably eventually get a MUM M8 for the filter off it though.

there are times when i wish i traded in my whole studio for a machinedrum + monomachine + ocatrack combo and absolutely nothing else. i could still sell everything and have only 3 pieces of gear to master for the rest of my life.

I keep on doing fantasy 'ultra rationalised' studio plans like that. Strip it down to a few key pieces and then remain in that state where you know *every* key-combo/trick, etc. off by heart. With more than five or six bits of complex gear, you can never quite remember every function to that level where you don't have to think and your fingers just dance like an extension of thought across all of them. Some skills fade always creeps in just enough to break the flow on one or two bits of gear, which ruins the overall scope for that type of flow state.
Analog Rytm or A4 MK2 instead of the Machinedrum for me, I think, but I'm with you on the others, Monomachine and Octatrack would be two of mine, too.

I care about gear too much, it doesn't really help make for better music
