"The #polyendtrackermini has a pretty poor granular engine :( I can never get it to do what I want. But nice stuff often comes out regardless. #jamuary2025 #jam #dawless #polyendtracker #microfreak #granular"

Reverb's Most Popular Electronic Gear in the US by State in 2025

"You might've seen our recently published list of the best-selling electronic gear on Reverb in 2024... but what about the most popular electronic gear in every state?
While plenty of mainstays made the list—like the ever-popular Teenage Engineering OP-1—there are some state-specific preferences I thought you might enjoy:
Viva Las Vegas: Nevada's most popular piece of electronic gear is an Akai Force Standalone Music Production / DJ Performance System, likely a product of all the electronic shows that take place in Sin City.
More surprising? Alabama and Kentucky, neither of which are typically known for electronic music, love their DJ gear. Maybe the latter is the Jack Harlow effect?
The Eurorack Reigns Supreme: As modular synthesis becomes more popular, Arizona, Iowa, and South Dakota proved their love for Euroracks above all else.
The Postal Service: Washington, home to Death Cab for Cutie, was won by the Dirtywave M8 Portable Tracker Sequencer. The irony of The Postal Service's revival, 20-plus-years after Death Cab's Ben Gibbard sent digital audio tapes to Jimmy Tamborello via USPS, isn't lost on us!
The Border War: Much has been made of regional music over the past few decades, from southern rap to the Pacific Northwest's indie roots...but nowhere was that more strongly displayed than Kansas and Missouri, infamous "Border War" rivals, both of which chose variations of the Akai MPK.
You can check out every state's favorite piece of electronic gear here."

Elta Music Solar 42F - When the Ocean Comes to Swallow Us Whole
video upload by Thomas Carli
"Demo of a drone jam I put together on the Solar 42F. Nothing serious, but illustrates that while billed as an Ambient machine, can definitely venture into seriously dark territory. Hands down my favorite synth of 2024 and quite possibly the evil doppleganger of the Buchla Music Easel. No external effects used. Internal Infinity FX card on the Solar 42F the only effects featured. This drone uses the Hold function of several of the Solar 42F's Voices, the Arpeggiator on Voice 4, and manual control of Voice 6, as well as using LFO A to create additional modulation of the voice. Enjoy!"
