So this thread really touched a nerve with me ... like you, I can't play piano but I have had loads of fun messing with electronica in the past.Plan is to sell my old Yamaha PF15 electric piano and any other stuff I can find to fund this, so maybe £200 -£300 to spend? BTW I can't actually play piano, just fart around, but I won't let that spoil my fun.
Korg makes kit that is ridiculously good fun for the money.So this thread really touched a nerve with me ... like you, I can't play piano but I have had loads of fun messing with electronica in the past.
.... SO - just hit the BIN button on one of these for a reasonable price:
minilogue - POLYPHONIC ANALOGUE SYNTHESIZER | KORG (U.K.)
Meet minilogue; the stylish, innovative, 37 slim-key fully programmable analog polyphonic synthesizer.www.korg.com
this has, as far as I'm concerned, got just the right combo of size and flexibility and the exact kind of buttons and switches I like with names that lift my heart like 'attack' 'decay' and 'sustain' .... the stuff I understand
A fine bit of farting around ahead methinks

They do that a lot. The delay on the Monotron Delay is f**king epic for all of those BBD / tape echo effects you'd normally spend big money on from vintage gear.The NTS-1 is worth £90 or so just for the Riser reverb effect https://www.korg.co.uk/products/nts-1
£50k…
Raise you…
I love Tom Carpenter‘s work.
I've used vinyl cutting services twice - once to make a custom Breeders bootleg 7" as a gift for my OH with a track from a gig we'd been to the previous week and once to press up the results of a college recording project. The finished articles won't be giving Abbey Road any sleepless nights but good fun : )When you've perfected a track why not get it cut to disc?!
