I always look at things like these and are tempted to buy them. There is so much cool audio gear out there that I feel like could "up my game", but then I realize I have no game and already own a bunch of fun production gear that collects dust because I don't have the time or energy to make music anymore.
I considered selling some of my stuff, but want to hang on to it just in case any of my kids pick up the hobby and all my stuff is cool and "retro" at that point. Shit it is almost already cool and retro - Akai MPC1000, Korg Electribe SX ESX1, Korg KP3, Dsi MoPho, a couple other bits and bobs.
But yeah, always tempted to buy cool new awesome shit that I would never use.
That's the curse, man. Finally got fun money budget (kinda), but also got zero damn free time. Don't even have kids! Where the hell is all the damn time going?! HOW is it the last week of August?!
Definitely would keep the gear to try and share with the kids. Old music tech is dope! Old tech in general, still quite cool. Loved hitting retro games on the thicc floppy back in the day. Or whatever other gadget pops would have around. Cherished times.
