Haven’t heard any complaints form the Behringer D owners.
No opinion on the 808 clone, other than I wouldn’t just automatically choose it over Roland’s TR-8S, just because it’s analog. It would take some deeper thought over what I’d want from a drum machine and the workflow.
I like the Dreadbox stuff over any of the big B’s synth clones, although the Erebus 3 has the added danger of patch points and thus the slippery slope into modular land I’ve been trying to avoid.
Mmm, the Z might be aimed at millenials, I don’t feel like bringing my own screen for this.

I agree, if Roland did a designer series boutique drum machine with analog sounds (especially the hihats and cymbals, which to this day haven’t been properly emulated in digital IMHO), I too would pick that one over a huge block like the BehriBOB. No doubt there’d be CC control/recall and all the other goodies from the other boutiques like easy patch management via USB storage etc… But somehow I feel Roland is too invested in ACB to bring out products which could overlap with their existing digital products. SE-02 was not based nor insiped by an existing Roland product, so it has been allowed to exist.
I think Korg beat them to the punch on this with Volcas, Monologue etc, and so did Roland with the Boutique line already.
But Roland is doing real analog too. The new system 500 modules.
I found this way more interesting than i was expecting. Sure it’s a redo of old stuff from Roland, but there’s enough new, and it’s done so well that it’s interesting.
about 300 per module, huh? So 1200 for a 4-voice poly analog…
I know very little about modulars but these look very vanilla to me somehow.
That 6ch stereo mixer though looked real good!
I built a MIDIBox Seq v4 because it was kind of like having Numerology in hardware. But… this is Numerology in hardware. I’m very excited by this one.
I have the System500, it is for sure not the most cutting edge selection of modules, there are a few annoyances with it too, like the octave switches which are not the correct type of switch, and lack of LED indicators where there really should be some, but these niggles aside, overall I think it is a valiant attempt at the System100m. Not sure if I’ll cop the new modules eventually or not, it means buying another case too.
are the op-z knobs gonna be sold separately or is it just like that? Looks like it could of done with something to twist. It looks fun but I’m still a bit lost on what it actually does, will it have different synth types like on the op-1? And no sampling? Still got a bunch of questions about it. All I’m really getting is it has 16 tracks, p-locks and a companion app. Are the 16 tracks freely assignable to different things or fixed?

Oh cheers my bad, should have looked a little harder. Digging on the page I can’t spot how much memory it’s got for samples RAM-wise and storage, I wonder how sample slicing will be implemented or if it will be. I reckon it may look a bit underwhelming and gimmicky but I bet it turns out to be a really powerful little tool. I’d still want some knobs though. Size is a massive sellpoint for me, just a waiting game to see what they’re like irl. Hopefully it’s designed well enough that the screen is a bonus rather than a neccesity
Hi does anyone know if the Skinnerbox & dataline superbooth liveset are uploaded Somewhere ?
Nothing grabbed me this Superbooth except the Spectrasonics/hardware mashup. Thought that was pretty awesome. Behringers retro stuff doesn’t really excite me.
One thing that strikes me is that despite the lack of OB, Elektrons sequencer and synth architecture has been way ahead of the game. Perhaps other manufacturers are now catching up?
I use numerology with a launchpad, and it works very nicely. But this is awesome.
However, only 2 cv/gates. What a bummer. You need to buy the expander, extra 300 euro and 12 hp 
Man, that’s a pity.
Maybe I’m better with launchpad and Cv.ocd
The new VST/AU/iPad granular synth from Audio Damage excites me very much:
Percussa SSP
So back at the beginning of this thread 2disbetter told us he was working the Percussa booth.
This thing sounds like a Eurorack version of the Waldorf Quantum. It’s obviously got a ton of processing power and all sorts of synthesis capability.
For example at five minutes in, the presenter says:
“In this bigger patch that i switched to right now i have four wavetable oscillators, i have four granulars, i have four audio rate oscillators, and eight envelopes, two filters, and a bunch of midi processing modules,…”
Me too. Especially for ios. Great gui.
Love the mod matrix, as I do in the Ableton wavetable synth
One thing I know for sure. I love the sound of Roland filters.
I’d love to hear the original SH5 in real.
The 510 module would be a really nice way to have the roland sound in 20 hp. Nice
