Despite looking/demo-ing the Arturia Microbrute synth that Shrickv6 posted above (very nice and intuitive to use) i decided to stick to NI stuff and i bought a [url= http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/maschine/production-systems/maschine-mikro/ ]Maschine Mikro[/url] as it's nice and portable to supplement my sets and bleepy noise making sessions, i already own the full size Maschine but that's rather unwieldy to transport around so i plumped for the mikro - should be a fun addition to the usual round of house parties this xmas/new year.

I still have an irrational need/want for a [url= http://www.teenageengineering.com/store ]Teenage Engineering OP-1[/url] that i cannot shake, despite the price tag.

Plumber - I only just noticed your reply re guitar pedals. I'll check and email you rather than threadjack further.
Back on topic, my most recent musical purchase was a small 'my first piano' for my nephew. He's really into the sudden jazz noise playing style.
Kauer jr looks very nice (is that a Daylighter Jr?).Not heard of them before.
Matt - That Supersonic looks great. I've been lusting after one of those.
I bought a copy of Samlplitude, and I've been learning how to use it.
Here's a couple of examples of what I have so far....
A bluesy thing....

Kauer jr looks very nice (is that a Daylighter Jr?).Not heard of them before.
Actually its the starliner jnr - through the kickstarter project they had recently - 3 to be made so potentially limited edition too for £1200ish so 'good' value for that sort of thing and certainly will be better than a les paul jnr
Metalheart,
I've been really happy with the bare knuckles pickups I've had this last 2 years
slowhand, mothers milk, mississippi queen, cold sweats
all really nice
Also bought a Cream T 50/60 strat set which are very, very nice
