Earlier this year I wrote about the need to stop worrying about what gear you have and just mix that lemonade with what you’ve already got. You know, stop looking at Noisey Gear right nowand compose your sonic masterpiece on your Playstation PS1 (like old school London dubstep artists did it).So here’s an Andre The Giant-sized flip-flop on my previous position. If you’ve not been buying the following new gear in 2013, then how do you ever expect to jump to the top of the Beatport/Billboard/Bandcamp charts?KORG MS-20 MINI
Used synth prices keep heating up, which is surprising given that buying any vintage synthesizer guarantees you’ll be facing higher repair bills than if you owned an aging racehorseSo Korg’s reissue of their era-defining MS-20 makes perfect sense. It costs just $600, which is a lot if you can’t afford bread, but is a heck-of-a-chunk less than it was in 78.For your 600 Washingtons, you’ll get a complete reproduction of the analog beast that’s probably destroyed a million speaker systems and contributed key sonics these classics:Mr Oizo – “Flat Beat”
