Part 1 here

"2023 is soon drawing to a close—so, we're taking a look back at the year, and taking account of all of the weird and wonderful instruments that gave us some inspiration this year. Synthesizers, drum machines, and Eurorack modules to samplers and effects, this year had no shortage of inspiring instruments.

So, we reached out to some of our friends and content creators to fill us in on their year, asking one simple question: what was the coolest piece of gear you got this year? For some, that meant brand new releases, but for others, it meant sitting down and digging into classic instruments.

In this video, we hear from:
00:00 Red Means Recording on the Elektron Syntakt
01:07 Midlife Synthesist on the Akai MPC X SE
03:20 DivKid on the Intellijel Cascadia
06:30 Jorb on the Roland S1
09:13 Bo Beats on the Teenage Engineering OP-1 Field
12:45 Trovarsi on the Anti-Kulture Precision Disruptor

THE MEANING
Finding the perfect idea shouldn't be at the expense of creative momentum.
​
The Precision Disrupter is a generative Eurorack sequencer that relies on controlled randomization to create melodic & rhythmic patterns with ease and relentless conviction.

THE IDEA
Unlike other generative sequencers in euorack, the Precision Disrupter
offers complete command over the randomization parameters and then immediately empowers you with fine-editing controls for precise, real-time performance punch.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The Precision Disrupter is a melody generating powerhouse. Quickly find the the perfect sequence, breathe in the inspiration, and show them what you are made of.

THE INSPIRATION
We would like to thank the companies and products that have inspired us to start Anti-Kulture and to build the Precision Disrupter. They've had a heavy influence on our music and in the creation of our products. Without them, this wouldn't be possible. Audiorealism, Ableton Live, Arturia, Native Instruments, Elektron, Moog, Buchla, Erica Synths, Mutable Instruments, Make Noise, Instruo, Tip-Top Audio, Intellijel, Doepfer, Cwejman, Waldorf, Teenage Engineering, Roland and many, many more.

And some pics via this auction, with the following:

"I purchased this new on the first round of pre-order (serial #021) and it has been used only a couple times and only in my smoke free home studio. Super cool and powerful idea generating machine and fun for jamming. Ships in original packaging with ribbon cable etc."
