Merry Synthmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! As far as "Synthmas" gifts go, under my tree is a MOTU UltraLite mk3 and MOTU's Volta, purchased from Novamusik, as well as a signed Bob Moog Foundation calendar. Coming in the mail are two Monoroket Mission6's. Thank you to Novamusik for the extra T-Shirt and Coffee Cup (to the right of the Volta box)! :) I wasn't expecting either.

Hmm... Something else synth related is coming from my wife that I had no idea about until composing this post... I wonder what it is... Apparently it is under the tree. I'll post back when I find out.

Update: It's a Zoundz!!!!
