Okay, what did you get for Christmas?

I noticed that the December 2012 New Gear thread fell off to page 3 so I thought I'd throw this out there for S&G.

The best girlfriend EVAR got me these (bless her heart):




Yes, I think I will go do something extra special for her ... what a keeper!!

I got a rock.

No, seriously. My brother made me a stacked stone zen garden art piece. It's actually pretty cool! I didn't get any kind of music toy. At all.
Hurrr. Derp, derp, derp.

Carlos the webmaster for importmusic.com.ar gave me a wonderful present, although I am sure we can also thank Miguel Lops KORG product specialist who may also have played a part. I just hope they do not loose their jobs

My comrades and I do not celebrate Christmas, but we did share some soup, bread, and vodka.

Re: Okay, what did you get for Christmas?

Jacket, a wallet, and some socks which I'm thankful for. 0's toll on the economy and increased regulatory expenses took much of our Christmas fund this year but we've had so many great past ones it's all good...

EDIT: after reading some of your posts I see a lot of us were in the same boat this year. Don't feel so bad anymore..

Delighted to hear it. How is your reprogramming going?

I got an itunes card which I parlayed into Cubasis. I also got iRig, but it's arriving a tad late; no biggie.

Re: Okay, what did you get for Christmas?

Nothing synth related this year, just some stuff for my bass: a nice padded leather strap from Long Hollow (not the magical strap I thought I was getting that makes my bass weightless, but a definite improvement from the Fender pack-in I'd been using), and a used BBE Sonic Stomp pedal (which I may be returning, because the seller didn't say it was missing the battery cover and had scratchy pots Hopefully Amazon will help out with the process).

Nothing spectacular, and as long as the problem with the pedal gets sorted without hassle, I'll be alright.

Re: Okay, what did you get for Christmas?

i got some Towels!

on the music front... bought "loopy" for ipad and akai's iMPC app...
Loopy is a pretty cool music app that i'm using to sketch out ideas with my minibrute and korg electibe.

i'm waiting for Namm 2013 to see if any of the big 3 have the BALLS to put out an analogue synth with a real keyboard, midi and usb!

Re: Okay, what did you get for Christmas?

I also bought Aalto at the sale price. I am going to pick up one other sub-hundred dollar plugin for Christmas - maybe Permut8.

There is not a single computer game that I want right now so my expenditure during Steam's holiday sale is nil.

Otherwise I got a really big Christmas surprise. Our furnace fan motor burned out yesterday (Christmas day)! We heated the house using our gas fireplace until our HVAC guy out here early this AM. Ka-chink! Don't you just love those unexpected household maintenance requirements? I was surprised how well the fireplace did really.
