Purchasing gear and GAS is the easy bit. Learning your gear is the hard and dedicated part. I'm still learning the MM2 and I hope to be for a long time, as I enjoy that. Running it with the Oxi One and learning new things from both these pieces of gear every day. Now if the second hand market was better in Australia, maybe I'd have more GAS ;)
A lot of times there's more stuff that is not even described in manuals, but it's there. Someone either bring it to the public or keep by themselves, but the key is to spend enough time with the device and try it in different scenarios even you bought it for one specific thing.
I can sooo relate to this! My first synth was the Arturia Minibrute 2S. I thought it was cool because it was semi-modular and would be able to create some cool stuff with it. Well, like the Monsta2, it's not for the faint at heart or those who think they are going to make great music right out the gate. I almost sold it out of pure frustration, but then I bought some patches and spent some time with it. Now I'm enjoying it and it's not going anywhere! Definitely not a first purchase synth, but still a fun synth. Thank you for sharing your story.
The MM2 is a good unit! Very powerful and very capable. And yes, many bits of kit just require time to learn. After you have learned it, it is fair to make the evaluation of whether the kit makes sense for one's workflow.
Buying gear is the easy part, but every purchase brings a new responsibility into your home. Whether it is music related, furniture, shoes, I kind of grew a dislike towards opening boxes and putting the items within to good use, or at least enjoy them. I am glad you just put the monster in a drawer where it waited patiently. If you now enjoy it, good. If not, put it back, and if untouched for a year just let it go again. Always enjoy listening to you.

great points. I like the feeling that when you learn something new about your gear, it's getting a new device for free!
@MidlifeSynthesist loves Micromonsta. Makes me think about getting one.
He got me hooked on it!
I've got Monsta 1 and 2 and they are both fantastic little machines - small form factor and sound great.

And thank you for sharing your story! 🫡💪
Been tempted to pick a MicroMonsta 2 up for the size verses power.
if you do, I hope it works out for you!

Agree. Meanwhile, someone was instigating elsewhere 🤣🤣
