Well.. here is the thing, this purchase was not really planned. I stumbled upon a Nord Lead A1 in a music store yesterday, played about 40 mins with it (my wife was SO bored).. i just loved the feel and sound of synth.. went home and slept on it and got it today. I have been really hunting for a poly for sometime, and the A1 not being on my shortlist really amazed me as it sounds so damn good. Strange, everyone should have one.. its awsome.
Whatever, this is red beauty is now part of my setup. on this track heavily drowned in the MS-70CDR FX, i started it up, connected the SQ1 .. driving two sounds, one pad and one arp/set sound. Im just playing the first simple sawtooth-pad part, 24db filter, and sequencing another with the SQ-1 w TB style filter and giving it a go.
No planning, a couple of beers... and just going with the flow. I have no idea, but the melody seems familiar, who gives damn right, its about the music :)
And yeah, sorry about the blinking blue lights.. i totally forgot to shut that one off. I blame the beer...
gear used: Nord Lead A1, Zoom MS-70CDR, KORG SQ-1 - straight into 2-track on my Zoom Q4, no multi-tracking and/or computers involved.
BoOoM! :D

![BURG1k Hardware Jam Group Challenge [Challenge Ended on 12/5]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QqyJr6Y-LKY/mqdefault.jpg "BURG1k Hardware Jam Group Challenge [Challenge Ended on 12/5]
This challenge has Ended on 2018-12-05, thanks for all submissions!
The main idea of this challenge is to give others insight and inspiration of what they can get for 1000USD, also what the setup could potentially sound like.
My music:
Bandcamp ► https://music.ollilab.com/
Spotify ► https://open.spotify.com/artist/5lPHagff7SG960LQZfva9Q
The total cost of gear should NOT exceed 1000 USD
The cost should be for ALL music gear used, synths, FX pedals etc
Video and Audio recorder units, Mixing console and cables, peripherals are excluded from the total cost calculations
A complete list of the gear, items used is mandatory in the post detailing the total cost.
Please remember for your own submissions, videos are easier to review should there be any questions regarding the actual use of equipment, so if you know that your track will sound complex, a video is recommended.
Also, try and keep your track below or around 5 minutes, there will be a lot of music for all of us to review and listen to.
Make sure to check out my third BURG1k session, maybe this one can help give you guys some inspiration!
