Hey all, I'm a synth newbie and total beginner to making music. I work at a computer all day and recently found that I love jamming and making beats (melodic techno, hiphop, DNB, acid, that kind of stuff). I have Ableton live and recorded some things before, but for now I find that I enjoy using the hardware much more than my laptop.

Currently I have:

Roland S1

Volcas: Bass, Beats, Keys

Drumbrute Impact

Zoom L6 Mixer

+ I'm about the order a multi-effects pedal (Zoom or G-5)

Note: I don't really have a lot of space, and thus I prefer smaller/compact devices..I do plan to get a "proper" synth and bass sometime in the future though.

For now, I realize that should probably get a Sequencer and/or a Midi Keyboard?

This seems like a difficult task since there is so much choice.. I am kind of drawn towards the Keystep Pro, even though it might be a bit big for my desk. But it just seems like a logical choice for a beginner like me since it also the midi keyboard included.…
