You are right, screen is not much bigger, but the overall form factor of the mkii is much larger. I’m not sure I like that. The set of the black units do look cool together.
We will see on the A4/heat stuff. I’m not sure I need a 3rd sequencer, or a 4th of you include the akai Force I use for other stuff.
What excites me is the Poly D! Being able to play moogy chords would be great. I have Voyager VCO samples in my Prophet x, and it does well to sort of ball park it, but not quite due to filter.
I had the MFB Tanzbar 2, don’t get it, you’ll drive yourself crazy. Returned mine to Thomann from the US at a ~$250 loss after running into a whole slew of issues with it, on top of the gnarly UI.
Ordered an Mki today. For the price of a new mkii I have an OT and AR, so I’m excited. Can’t wait to offload drum programming from the OT so I can make it totally a melody box.
I didn’t know I needed “polyphonic glide” until I heard a few chords demonstrating this feature on the Poly D with the filter closed. Pairing this with any version of the AR might make you sound like Ski Oakenfull.
