haha, each device has its own story… got the 40hse as my first ever grid. then somehow managed to lose it for 4 years! was so destroyed over missing my first ever model that i tracked down another one, not easy to do as only 16 were made and in different color combinations. but managed to find one, and then kind of immediately after, the one i lost turned up. that’s a whole other story, involving a few transcontinental flights. as i had been using it on tour, totally blew my mind that it disappeared, thought it had been stolen.
the old skool 256 and 64 were from another tour with a set design that was all orange. so when the new grids came out with different colored led’s i put the tour hardware on ice, locking them to that production. the newer 256 was my personal go to grid until the new slimline 128’s came out. now its so easy to throw the 128 in a backpack laptop sleeve. i got the newest 64 from tehn after performing in his barn and the greyscale 64 is from a german show that spanned 4 years of performances. the greyscale 128 is for another project that didn’t tour hardly at all.
bought a push button arc2 when they first came out, totally loved it. only used it for tml basically, part of a solo concert program mostly at chamber music festivals. then wanted an arc4 to control group volume levels in mlrv and also edw so found a used 2nd gen. but then loved edw so much that i really wanted the push button functionality for that program. will for sure get rid of the 2nd gen arc when the new arcs come out later on.
love my aleph and tetrafol as well!
