Setup is not ready yet and I already think about changing it. I got Subsequent 25 from sale last year. Before the prices went up. This is not GAS post. For some reason Subsequent 25 doesn’t spark joy as much as I want. It is only thing in setup which doesn’t give me sounds I like in few moments. Haven’t figured out what it is good for yet. It could be like Les Paul. Others think it sounds amazing but found my sounds easier from elsewhere. When I played Les Paul I wanted to play other guitar which gave me sound I wanted. Les Paul’s sound wasn’t what I was after. I had other guitars which did sound I wanted from Les Paul better.
Before last week question was why I had Subsequent 25 in setup instead of Bass Station II. I get sounds I like faster from Bass Station II. Last week it went to why I have Subsequent 25 instead of eurorack case. That is bit harder to answer. Small utility case was so fun I started to want more eurorack. With Bass Station II answer was both were mono synths and another one was Moog. If I lost both and had to get one I would get Bass Station II. You can get three Bass Stations for price of on Subsequent 25. Subsequent 25 sounds different than anything else I have but I am not sure if I need that sound.
With eurorack case it is having monophonic synth I can control with DAW against more versatile system I can’t and which can’t save patches. But then again I could have eight analog monophonic voices I can completely control with DAW even without Subsequent. It comes down to do I have need for that sound. Can’t replace anything else with Subsequent because it is my only synth in setup with keys. Synth modules take less space and eurorack case would take place of Subsequent. I am slowly turning towards eurorack case but I would like to have Subsequent too if I find room for it. Subsequent module would be nice but I don’t think there will be one. It has functions which can’t be done without keys. Calibration is one.
This sounds like GAS post but it is not. I have modules which are not currently in studio. I have one case with room. I could replace Subsequent with case and modules I already have. Probably will add new modules if I add eurorack case to studio. Problem with the case is it doesn’t easily fit to studio and most logical place for another eurorack case is occupied by Subsequent.
