I'm always seeking out new gear because I love finding new sounds. I also went to school for classical piano and can play pretty well. Does a chef that likes finding new spices have GAS? Def a joke in there but for real. There are certain sounds that can only be found in vintage analog synths for instance. Of course there are always samples but there are also samples of cellos and violins. But they will never compare to actually playing the real instrument so therefore I must buy them alllll.
