I was always thinking of the synth as a bonus so I’m not really put off by that side of it for sound/ui. More interested in it as a sampler/sequencer. Looks very cool in that respect…
Except browsing (and trimming/slicing?) I’m struggling to understand the thinking behind that tiny ass screen… Browsing through a decent sized full memory card is going to be a nightmare. Screens like that probably sufficed on old gear with no memory and only a few banks/patches. Doesn’t make sense today to include the ability to have a massive library but cripple the ability to select from it… Ugh, always something Not a total dealbreaker but something that will definitely bug me often if I grab one…
I’m sure it won’t sell at that price at all. It’ll drop down within 3 months of release. The reason for the high price surely has to do with increasing the launch sells
Its not offering anything I cant already do with my current gear, but the UI seems just more intuitive. I wont be getting into the early release but will watch and see how it progresses. GAS low - medium.
I’m looking at the advantage of this box being portable and most of the flexibility being in the sequencing department. The sounds so far seem a little boring but that could be because the showcase the full capabilities of the sound. As far as looking up and loading samples I would organize my sample folders with just 30 samples per folder that way I can quickly scroll through a given folder without getting lost.
Instead of putting cv and gate outs x 2 they should of went for 4 audio outs plus the master stereo outs. Seems like the digital OSC lack some meat on the bone and could benefit from external processing. I could be totally wrong.
