well my main reason for the G1 was for learning. But i started applying what guys have been doing resampling their synths into say absynth and harmor but using the nord and it is wonky what you can do.
But i don't really use it in a musical way right now. I basically do stuff with an oscilloscope and try to understand how the audio is changing in a mathematical way. I've had to learn a bit of math i forgot.
But i'm a little nuts. I take things too far.
One thing i think everyone with a hardware synth should get is a multi fx unit like the TC G system.

At some point music needs to be made too right.

actually if you want some crazy ass sounds.. I was really surprised with Logic's EFM1, there's a randomize button you can just keep clicking that till something awesome happens, and it does get insane it's like logic's little dubstep machine

yup. But there is a way top discipline your life to do say 70% practical. 30% theoretical.
I am just the type of person that has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. And i like learning new things. I think some of it has to do with the autism. But it is sort of how do you say obsessive ? I am at my lowest in terms of happiness when i feel like i don't know what to learn. I love opening an avenue where i feel i really don't know it and want to know it. That motivates me. I guess i need to be challenged. The second i'm not, i will move to something else.

Have a kid. You'll literally yearn to just have a chance to get done.
Oh, and a handy side effect is that you no longer have the ability to learn new things.

disagree. You just learn about different things, If I had a kid, i would have read everything there is on child psychology. I would of read every book on what works, what doesn't work.
I mean in my spare time right now, i am doing a math course
what do you mean works ? I don't plan to control them to be something. I just find it interesting. You learn about yourself, you see it in action. It is interesting. I don't know man. I just find interesting.
Even when my girlfriend talks about fashion, i try to find some angle that is interesting. And there are things.
just watch Short Circuit,
I require input.
I think the main problem with me and again not for me but it is abnormal is that i don't really chill out. Relaxing on a beech is not relaxing for me. On a beech reading a book that is making me think, sure but i've never been able to just not do something. I think that it lowers my anxiety as the second i don't use my head, i start to get alot of noise. So by learning new things, it relaxes me and makes me focus on one thing.
I can go out and "chill" maybe once a month but more than that, and my anxiety just goes chernobyl. And if i am chilling with someone, it can't be chill. There needs to be dialogue. I don't have to be talking, but there has to be something. if there isn't, i start going into monologue mode. And it is annoying even to me.

I hear that, I don't understand the doing nothing on a beach mentality, especially if you've spent the time and money to go abroad. Go and explore ffs.
But having a kid just saps up 90% of what ever time and money you had beforehand, you just have to fit stuff in.
The reason I don't believe in child psychology is that you don't learn about yourself in the process, you always have 'the book' to blame if you're kid doesn't follow suit (which it won't)
Feed it, show it there's no monsters in the cupboard and most importantly make sure it's happy. That last bit is the important one.

sorry another quick anecdote on sound design, this is pretty cool
