    Can confirm; was "gifted", and dropped out of college because I never developed proper study skills in high school.

    I don't think you'll go wrong with the Neutron assuming you've seen videos and like the noises it makes. I haven't played with one, but have seen a demo of it. The patchbay does look yummy, and will be great for making wacky sounds, and would also help familiarize you more with how to patch together a fully modular system if you ended up getting one.

    Personally I have a Korg Minilogue XD, Keystep, looper pedal, and a Volca Sample. I definitely recommend getting a Volca Beats or Sample to add percussion to your jams. At that point though you'll need a mixer of some sort to handle the multiple audio sources, but it's endless fun. I'm very happy with what my setup lets me do, but the synth bug is real and am planning on picking up a Moog Grandmother at some point hopefully this summer!

    Hi Zoink. First, I'm sorry to hear that you're struggling in the transition to adulthood. What you are experiencing isn't uncommon, and I have a similar story from when I went to college (I almost failed out as well due to lack of motivation).

    What you're describing sounds generally like depression, and I encourage you to speak to a counselor/therapist who can help, either by processing through why you feel the way you do or even prescribing antidepressants. Many universities offer resources for those struggling with mental health, please take advantage of them if available to you. If you take care of yourself it does get better, I promise.
