I’d love to but that’s a lot of cash for that. It is lovely though.

Love the idea of this and I got to the breadboard stage of building something similar with an Axoloti, but yeah that price is eye-watering. I think I would have bitten at 400 usd or less.

I’d hold off until I’d know what the playability is actually like. Hard to say from a demo video by the company.

Perfect little companion for the 3p IMHO! :wink:

Cute, but at €555,- I think I’ll pass.

Yes the price tag is too high IMO as well, we speak about a mini four pads controller…
It’s seems almost too small for playability from the video i’ve seen.

Nice but I don’t much care for leather…

Lovely.
A bit pricey.

Yeah,

It is cool, Koka’s Deluge videos are cool too.

The guy is really brilliant.

However like many I ll wait to see that thing in action. I cant justify that much dough for a 4 pad (leather ?!) controller/multisample player.
Althought it definitely looks cool.

At this point I would rather attach a Quneo to a Blackbox for roughly the same money and 4xtimes the pads :slight_smile:

Looks sweet but damn that price!

Awww man, love it but needs to be 200€ cheaper :frowning:

This definitely looks cool. I like the design of the device, and it looks well made. And there is some interesting functionality combined with its portability. But in the end, the price translates to about $650 usd, and I feel that is just too much. If it was around $350 - $400, I would consider it, but not at this price.

Wow you made me realize the blackbox can handle multisamples. I just checked and it appears it can handle 16 velocity layers. the auto sample feature also looks nice!

FWIW, here’s what the creator (Koka) has shared on FB regarding the price:

As for the price. Even if I went with cheaper materials, it would not be significantly lower. Multisampling and awesome sensors is expensive. So I had a choice to make, a tick more affordable, compromising quality and feel or this, and not compromising the quality.

(from what I understand, each element/pad can have up to 256 samples, i.e. velocity levels)

Well needless to say, it’s not vegan friendly. Sorry kids.
