So a few months ago I got my first piece of gear, a Roland T8 drum machine, it's amazingly fun to jam with because of the acid bass line and the fact it's so portable! It is however very limited in the types of sound it has, especially for creating more tekno or psytrance oriented music.

I'm planning to buy something for my birthday, but not quite sure what. The t8 was around 170eu and I'll have a similar budget, 150-250eu, for my next piece and I was thinking of the p6 sampler from Roland since it's basically made to be compatible with my t8, but I'm wondering if it's the right choice since I've seen multiple samplers for way cheaper.

I was also thinking of the S1, again made to be compatible with the T8, but I feel like this wouldn't match with the music I'd like to make... Feel free to give any recommendations or thoughts! Any tips or tricks for making music would also be appreciated, I'm still learning a lot and I don't really understand most of what all of these different machines actually do

So I first installed this game maybe 5 years ago and I bought the dlc pack back then which was completely different to now. I've mostly been playing around, sending some stuff to the moon and back, trying to build a space station tho I'm having trouble with the "navigate to" function, I'm not sure if I'm doing it right... Anyhow, anything I should know that's changed? What can I actually do with the new stuff from the DLC?

So I've been to freetekno parties, but my dad told me he went to a lot of goa freeparties back in the late 90s, early 2000s and I'm wondering if those still exist today? I love the genre, but I'd love to experience it as a free in the forest instead of a legal venue. The other thing I was wondering, if those exist, how come I've never seen them on the news unlike almost every freetekno rave here in Belgium?

So I'm from a country where you can't send it to a lab to get drugs tested, so I'm wondering, are there any reagents to test the difference between cathinones. Since the ban I can only get it from dealers, but it's always a mystery cathinone and I personally enjoy 2mmc the most, but have no clue how to check for it

In a few weeks I'm going to a rave from 9pm-4am and then chilling at my friend's house for a few more hours. They'll all be doing mystery cathinones and I usually go sober, but I wanna take something this time and have it actually be worth it, last 3 times I took something were all extremely underwhelming.

Usually I take 2cb, but I only got some bunk >5mg pills that are for a friend, not me and I'm not sure I can get some in time. I do however have a bunch of 1cP/1P-LSD, tho I haven't done it since 2y ago and only 3 times at a rave/festival while otherwise a shit load of times alone. Other options are 4-ho-met/mipt 4-aco-met, amt, AL-LAD, 1cP-MiPLa and LSZ. I'll also have 2 lorazepams with me in case something goes wrong.

Anyone actually taken any of these at a rave, if so how was the experience? Maybe you got other recommendations? Any advice is appreciated!

Edit for grammatical mistakes

I've had my eye on these chems for a while, but I'm not sure if they're worth trying. I can't really find accurate dosing on them, but they're relatively cheap so I thought I'd ask here for some personal reports. I've tried different cathinones, mdma, 6apb and street amphetamine when it comes to stims, how do these compare?
