You simply do not need all that stuff to make albums.  It's better to have just a couple machines or the "right" machines and get the most out of them than keep on buying stuff.  GAS sucks!

But its hard to save patches because if you touch a knob it will change your patch drastically.  But this makes every time you play with it super organic and keeps it fresh.  Great lfo and arp.
