Would love one if I ever won the 100 million dollar powerball lottery but I am happy with my smaller Leipzig v2 that is a fun beatbox synth. I’d rather get the AS Vostok anyways than Colossus at least portable.
Yeah its pretty wild, I would just wish he went with atleast some filters a little closer to the synthi designs as apposed to just the SEM and Moog filters. The way the synthi filters resonance responds to gain staging is a big reason it works so magically with the mixer matrix type design imo. I suppose I’ve never used a synthi 100 but I assume it’s the same type of filter design as the Synthi A.
Incredible.
The scope still looks kinda ultra-cheap, though.
I don’t know, just seems off, somehow.
Perhaps I’m wrong about this.
But kudos to AS, this is amazing (again) .
Just a shame I will never afford this.
Understand how different it is when buying premium luxury goods. With things at this price range and volume, a buyer has latitude with configuration and detail. Tell them, or the buying consultant you hired, to leave out their brand of o-scope – that you prefer a specific 8 channel Tektronix scope. Done. This isn’t like regular synth buying anymore.
I prefer manufacturers giving buyers options.
Sure. But that’s what confuses me a bit.
Given the tiny luxury market, I would expect this to be presented with something more top-of-the-line to begin with.
It just looks a bit weird. Like the cheapest third party analog scope that’s available (perhaps the only one?).
If that’s the case, why not go with a nicely restored one.
But you’re right, that kind of customer probably doesn’t look at it that way.
OK i’ll give it a shot.
Can’t win if you don’t try right?
If AS just put a fascia on it with different knobs. I think it would solve a lot of the issues. The cheapness of the scope isn’t the issue it’s the jarring aesthetic.
Anyone used one of these yet? How does it sound?
Analogue Solutions is teasing an announcement for the Colossus Slim.
There’s a video which as far as i can tell just shows the regular Colossus. More info to follow.
ADDED : Ten days later.
The Colossus Slim, AS200, is very similar to the original, but in a slightly smaller and lighter package. You really need to read the details at the Analogue Solutions web-site if interested. Here’s a picture :
Colossus Double
Pre-order now for just $64,250!
If I won the power ball lottery the Colossus along with Moog System 55 would be a dream setup.
makes the Moog System 55 and Buchla Skylab look like a bargain lol!
Jesper Kouthoofd apparently.
Four easy payments of $16,052.50.
But they do offer 6-month financing so there’s that.
Well that explains the pricing on the table. If I was to imagine what his flat looked liked prior to seeing it, I would not have been far off, although it seems more clutered than I expected.
I love this video for one reason.
Its called the collosus, and the first thing it tells you is…
50% smaller footprint.
That’s why it’s Slim!
The Slim’s only 28 grand USD…
