What are gear are you using?

What will you be using to make your jams during Jamuary 2026?

I’m planning to attempt to use every electronic instrument, and fx pedal I have over the month. Well, maybe not all the ios apps as that would stretch into February! The idea is just get out of my regular thing and use different set ups.

I have Deluge as a sequencer and drum machine, Digitone and Roland J6 are my presets machines and I just bought Behringer WASP, hope it will arrive before Jamuary.

I also got few fx pedals and electric wind instrument which I’m planning to use. I’m not a wind player, but it’s fun instrument to play with :blush:

How many instrumets and pedals you have? Great idea to use them all during thw Jamuary :ok_hand:t3:

I’m still figuring out what gear I plan on using throughout Jamuary… I have electric guitars, various synths, an electric cello, plenty of Chase Bliss pedals, and a couple eurorack cases… @Gubna I like your idea of using everything at some point throughout the month. I might try that, too!

@Yuteimusic a number? I have a few synths and samplers, only two are full keyboards, the Roland Fantom X6 being my main synth. The Microfreak, Korg MS2000r, some others. I’ll probably stick to electronic things mostly and but throw in some 100% acoustic jams.

@atam94 Yeah, I sold off some gear this year, but my thinking is this: if I’m not using it why keep it?

I definitely want to use my synth (Moog Grandmother) more this year! I usually fall back one of my tried and true guitars so it’ll be good to think about where a synth fits best.

Wow! That is quite list! Tons of sonic possibilities :blush:

I made a spreadsheet to check things off as I go.

Yeah it’s a pretty wild bunch, but every synth does have it’s own vibe and I really do purchase them as in what I think kind of sounds I am missing and could be great as an add-on.

It’s also handy for the tons of different genres I like to write :wink:

I’m planning to use only open-souce gear this year:

  1. The Synthstrom Deluge, running the Community firmware.
  2. The Plinky.
  3. Critter & Guitari 5 Moons and Organelle OG.
  4. The Minichord.
  5. The Monome Norns, with the Eterna patch.

I’m also hoping to blend in the Music Thing Modular Workshop System and some cassette tapes (using walkmans and a 4-track recorder). And guitar? Who knows. :slight_smile:

I am using the usual suspects (Teenage Engineering OP-XY, OP-1, OP-Z, and KO2), the Modular Rig (with a new FX module: OXI META), and the Keystep Pro.

New this year is the Teenage Engineering Riddim and Ting (hoping one of the days sticks out as an opportunity to use these DUB samples) and Tx-6 mixer. Also, starting to implement my new OXI ONE MK2 sequencer as the main brain.

If I have the time, I really want to refine the integration of the OXI one and TX-6 with the Expert Sleepers FH-2 and ES-9, really max out the cc controls for LFOs and Envelopes and the mixing matrix for FX sends. Would also love to make some progress on the Electrosmith Daisy Init module (I’ve starting working in PureData, trying to make an FX module similar to the microcosm)…

But the main goal is to have fun!

I made a sample-based eurorack instrument (sans-OSCs) for this year. Lots of sequencing, lots of filters, and lots of FXs! It’s basically my attempt at making my own Tonverk (so I won’t be tempted to buy one:)
(I also have a bunch of pedals, some 500 stuffs, a mixer, and a Rhodes)

Well, i am using only hardware except for T-Racks for Mastering before the upload.

Recording Device is the Tascam Model 12

Behringer Crave , Edge and Grind sequenced by the Keystep mk2 and / or Circuit Tracks

Circuit Tracks and Micromonsta 2 as a Dream Team

Korg MS2K and a Korg SV2 Stage Piano

Neunaber Immerse MK1 as Main Reverb and lots of other pedals.

Shahi Baaja (Indian Benjo) will be used for shure as well.

Just ordered a Pittsburgh Modular Taiga Keyboard. Assume it will get a prominent part when it has arrived.

Looking forward to all our great jams.

Noteflight for writing the music (it’s what I’m accustomed to, anyway), Logic Pro X for practically everything (synth/instrument assignment, mixing, mastering, EQ), and Audacity for tweaking levels n making adjustments
