been my ride or die pocket synth for going on 10 years. really versatile and durable, you can get some good deals on used ones too now that the OP Field is out. has a very digital sound to it but i’ve used it in plenty of songs and it sounds great in the mix. played live with it for a bit too when I was doing shows.
was also gifted the EP-133 (K.O. II) for christmas and liking it so far, haven’t gotten too into the sampling functionality but been enjoying the workflow and the built in sounds are nice. not sure if that one’s still on back order but it’s a very reasonable price point for TE.
