Ready to Dive Into Techno Industrial

After years of having sick music lines in my head, I’m finally ready to take the plunge and get my first synth or drum machine! I’m really into techno industrial vibes with a dark edge—think artists like Filmmaker, Moderat, Tzusing.

A buddy of mine got a Roland T-8 and let me mess around with it for a bit. It was so much fun! After some research, I see a lot of people saying it’s a solid drum machine, especially when paired with the Roland S1. But some others are saying it’s a bit limited? Perhaps the TR6s should be a better choice?

So, I’m asking for advice from fellow newbies or experienced folks: What would be a good starting point for someone like me? Any suggestions on gear or tips to get started on this dark, industrial techno journey?

My budjet is around 250e - 350e.

Appreciate any thoughts or recommendations!
