An Analogue Solutions Colossus Slim.

Deluge

My acoustic guitar.

sunnysidestudios.bsky.social•67 days ago

Synthstrom Deluge, no question

Polyend Tracker - once you speak its language, you can get it to do a lot

moolder.bsky.social•67 days ago

Still my Syntakt.

wilx.co.uk•67 days ago

Whatever piano would fit

cyb3rmaniak.bsky.social•67 days ago

An accordion. I think Weird Al proved it's the most versatile musical instrument.

lcatala.bsky.social•67 days ago

A glockenspiel. The work only exists for the duration of the performance. You had to be there.

backspinzx.bsky.social•67 days ago

Does the recording device count? Because if not, likely an NTS-1 Mk2, and and my DR-07x.

danrosanova.bsky.social•67 days ago

MPC Live

dmewes.com•67 days ago

Electribe 2

mp3neptune.bsky.social•67 days ago

probably my h4n microphone.

rexsucksatstuff.bsky.social•67 days ago

Probably a synth or something.

gregsdennis.bsky.social•67 days ago

A full upright piano

luminous-music.com•55 days ago

Are you wheeling it down the road ?🤔

petercoyte.bsky.social•67 days ago

1010 Blackbox from the gear I own. I’m sure it can be done but still trying to figure out how!

thomasloupe.com•65 days ago

It'll be heavy, but stick that Polybrute in the back :P

mattproducesmusic.bsky.social•67 days ago

Depends on your definitions of "completed works" and "devices" which could give an answer ranging from a Polyend Play+ to my Schecter Guitar to my modular rack....

jayarpeegee.bsky.social•67 days ago

Dirtywave m8

n0nyma2us.bsky.social•65 days ago

Something by Teenage Engineering, unfortunately.

thejones.bsky.social•66 days ago

Synthstrom Deluge.

stirlo.be•67 days ago

That deluge does look awesome though from what I currently own+portability

it’d be this handy 2 octave akai 🎹 compact, light and connects to phone / iPad / any computer too and I can use with whatever like iPhone GarageBand / any
Daw or iPad apps as well as all the pc or Mac apps that exist :-)

continuity9.bsky.social•67 days ago

Just staff paper and a good quality quill, right?

ledenmere.bsky.social•67 days ago

OP-1 Field

exresonances.bsky.social•64 days ago

Well, maybe not?

ledenmere.bsky.social•63 days ago

Florian commented on that video that’s about his video and the TE video being too similar. All his other TE videos are still up.

nufe.bsky.social•67 days ago

Roland MC-707

saturnjayzero.bsky.social•67 days ago

dirtywave m8 tracker. imo the most complete mobile solution. what i also really like is the included rendering functionality

masoudmaani.bsky.social•67 days ago

OP-1 is the only valid answer here, and no. No.

bradycranfield.bsky.social•67 days ago

Digitakt II or Digitone II

whysocereal.bsky.social•67 days ago

The m8 for sure. Second place is syntakt

boozedduck.bsky.social•67 days ago

1st answer would have been a laptop or tablet. Second answer would be a portable electric keyboard, ideally with headphones to quickly test or play with ideas.

mashstars.bsky.social•67 days ago

Always

manmachine.me•67 days ago

Polyend Tracker.

simonmackie.uk•67 days ago

Of the stuff I own, probably my Digitakt. Of the stuff I lust after, a Teenage Engineering OP-XY

blinklenson.bsky.social•67 days ago

It'd have to be either a portable mic, or a portable modular setup that can process incoming audio.

If it's for something I actually own? Pen and paper... I really should invest in something non-laptop/tablet/phone oriented.

nkurence.bsky.social•67 days ago

desktop

theetonyb.bsky.social•66 days ago

I’m still learning how to use it but polyend’s tracker mini is a beast of a tiny easy to carry machine.

mvcxb.bsky.social•66 days ago

korg electribe. supposedly thats what damon albarn did for The Fall

andreaslaudwein.bsky.social•67 days ago

dreamstatic.bsky.social•67 days ago

Modded Akai Force. Or MPC One+ as a runner up.

jairuskhan.bsky.social•67 days ago

Ableton Push!

slumpfish.bsky.social•66 days ago

Digitone Mk2!

donnieharrisonn.bsky.social•67 days ago

MPC key

lukeskarth.com•67 days ago

If I couldn't have a laptop or tablet then Digitakt out of the gear I have, and could get a lot further with a Digitakt II.

ddoz.bsky.social•67 days ago

Talk boy from home alone

luminous-music.com•55 days ago

Polyend tracker plus - no question

jacobhandpan.bsky.social•67 days ago

My handpan

arkenhammer.bsky.social•67 days ago

Taken in the spirit I think your question is intended I'd take my MPC One which is the only device I own that fits the requirements. What I actually take on road trips is a parlor guitar and sometimes something to record it with.

grumble.social•63 days ago

is a classical guitar a device? if not, then whatever would let me record it. that device.

echorus.bsky.social•67 days ago

MPC Live II (because that's what I own for standalone).
I normally use it for drums and universal sequencer to external gear, but I could totally use it for full tracks.

humblebragsmcghee.bsky.social•67 days ago

a gun or a noose

tcbyrd.page•67 days ago

Does a high quality mic count? Or at least a field recorder. The fun of a road trip would be capturing sounds I might not otherwise encounter.

pencilneckkgeek.bsky.social•67 days ago

My Martin acoustic guitar

notbettygrable.bsky.social•67 days ago

Portastudio.

traction-avant.bsky.social•67 days ago

Polyend tracker. Works for me.

chris-synth.bsky.social•65 days ago

Maschine +, made more music on it than anything else I own

oraknabo.bsky.social•67 days ago

I don't use it as often as I hoped when I bought it, but I'd probably take my Dirtywave M8.

joel8x.com•66 days ago

Digitakt II - A sampling groove box can do so much.

avatke.bsky.social•67 days ago

Since laptop is off the table, maybe a guitar… I’ve never used something like a Digitak but some this like that might be good once you understand the workflow.

encosion.bsky.social•42 days ago

Synthstrom Deluge.

pwats.bsky.social•41 days ago

Same!

mattperrin.bsky.social•67 days ago

MPC Live 2. A brilliant, powerful instrument

presc13nt.bsky.social•67 days ago

Deluge. No question.
