I am starting to build a hardware setup and trying to decide on the main sampler/groovebox/whatever. Will probably be doing something in the ambient/glitch vein. I am intrigued by the new MPC because I like having pads to play, and it has CV outputs (thinking about getting into modular too) but I've heard the OctaTrack has a more intuitive workflow, whereas the new MPC has a very DAW-like experience on the main screen. An intuitive workflow is very important to me because I'm not feeling creative sitting in front of a computer (I do that at work all day). What would you buy today if you were starting out and why?

Not sure how else to describe the sound, but here is an example from 200% electronica (the pad in the intro) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6awzI2vOep4

I want to explore making some pads like this but haven't got very far. I am becoming pretty familiar with Sytrus in FL studio, and it seems to me that it should be able to make this sound. However I have been unable to achieve the silky/glassy effect. Anyone have ideas on what is giving it this quality?

What are your top audiophile Christmas picks? I am thinking great analog recordings and mixes, ideally from 50s or 60s for maximum nostalgia factor. With the season coming up I am looking to build a wishlist.

It's a blazing album and would make a wonderful collectible. I know the audiophile market is strong in Japan so I was surprised to find that one hasn't been released. Has anyone heard about it being considered?

I have been learning Rust for a few days and I'm loving it so far, but still having trouble understanding some things.

I started a little project to build some utilities for ScyllaDB on top of this driver library but I am having some trouble understanding how to pass the session handle to a function. I would be used to something like this in other languages:

fn do_something(sess: Session) {

The compiler seems to lead me to add more type parameters, but when I do I end up with this:

fn do_something(sess: Session<LoadBalancingStrategy<Compression>>) {

Which apparently contains traits that do not have a fixed size
