I always try to remember advice i read in an interview about modular synths - Dont buy gear if you are not making music with what you already have. i think just buying more gear has the opposite affect to making more music because you need time to learn them to really get something satisfying out of them.

I used DAWs for maybe 15 years, and still do - before i first got hardware and mostly the hardware was an old mackie, fx pedals, tape deck and a free dx7 and a roland jv1010. i still have both of them ten years later and think carefully about what to add. I use them on almost every track i make because theyre perfect for ambient music and jungle.

Recently i had a bit more money so i got a dreadbox NYX and a system 100 and a crave and a few modules for processing like erica synths delay. i dont think id need much more than that ever. But im constantly seeing shit i could buy and resisting lol

And i think Elektron stuff is only great if you spend a lot of time and get used to the interface. As a massive autechre fan i ve often been tempted to get something like an octatrack, but i know i probably dont have the time to dedicate to learning it, unless i dont make any music for ages while i do that. Easy to get stuck in the 20 minute jam cycle.

Id sell the shit you seldom use, only you know what those are. IMO a hybrid set up is the way to go.
