yeah, interesting point. Im always on the lookout for what is going to become the next classic thing. I wonder if it might be in the digital realm however. As music software becomes increasingly subscription based there might be a precedence placed on the old versions that were used to create particular pieces. E.G - people hunting down a 2011 edition version of NI massive and running it on a pre ssd 2010 macbook pro to get an accurate vintage ‘skrillex sound’ or something.
I hope its gear tho. I also hope the Tom Cat is fun. Hey, i love disco toms
What do you expect out of a $200 Analog drum machine¿
I bit on the Rhythm Wolf when they first shipped. I’m still happy with the purchase. Certainly worth $200 IMHO
I played with the Tom Cat at NAMM and I will certainly be purchasing one as well.
The Timbre Wolf has some firmware issues to be worked out in regards to tuning. The rep assured me these issues will be resolved by first shipment.
$500 Poly…

Paid 200 for the timbrewolf yesterday. I really like it! Love how limited it is and love the sequencer which even its detractors seem to love. It’s really fun and I can see a cult following developing around it eventually.
I love the timbrewolf. I love the sequencer, the sound, the fact that it has individual outs. It’s cheap, crude and limited and I have such a soft spot for it!
I’m telling you all, the timbrewolf will eventually be sought after! Not to the extent of a 303, but if people looked at it for what it can do and not what it lacks…
It’s absolutely awesome!
Hope it’s ok to start this thread, the other one shares it with the tom cat and I thought it deserves its own thread.
I have a Timbre Wolf and the only special thing I’ve found about is that the resonance acts more like a bandpass filter. Which is not a feature and really limits it, but also makes it easy to make formants when in unison mode. So it’s fun to make sounds like this:
