Everything they make creates a stir, good or bad, that is a good thing 
For what it is itās beautifully designed for sure. Super minimalistic. Think a lot of us still see TE as a sort of music instrument brand, but actually they are more a designer brand. So high prices for highly engineered stuff.
Still, poking fun a bit isnāt that bad right? I think they love the attention either way. Their marketing is genius.
Just ordered, cant wait for it to drop in the mail.
Didnāt know for the Machinedrum.
I checked the credits to be sure.
Unfun fact: these instruments are also costing a fortune nowadays. For a good reason though.
people are forgetting that TE is mainly design company.
Reading the linked interview with Jesper. Looking at the pictures of the Audio solutions Colossus, looking closerā¦ it rests on two Field tables. Strong minimalist table or light Colossus 
looks like marx was wrong
I would even call them a lifestyle brand at this point, but yeah, of course we here view them as a music instrument brand first. Thatās our relationship with TE.
I donāt necessarily think that their pricing strategy is a marketing ploy as much as a āpositiveā side effect of their view on product development/engineering. At least from what I have gathered from reading interviews.
The memes are hilarious though. And I think they are necessary in a consumerism society. But itās a damn beautiful desk at the same time
āMarx was rightā ironically says OP-1 factory sketch sequencer. They know the game.
And the first thing the user has to do is erase it, which is kind of funny and sad at the same time. They absolutely know the game, and are playing it well.
Bit defensive.
ā¦canĀ“t see any fun in it, sorry. this is the standard answer if someone breaks through the shitstorm
btw. my post is hidden by community flagsā¦what a bullshit
And thatās what youāre doing, is it?
Breaking through the shit storm?
I think itās best not to take anything in this thread remotely seriously, because I donāt think any of it requires it.
Youāre right, that is bullshit.
Cant wait till i get mineā¦ my other TE products are gonna look so good on this tableā¦
Hmmā¦
I think they bought the thrift store stuff, put it in their trendy bar/brewery tap/internet start up and then raked in the cash from those things. I donāt think it was ever very anti-consumption/capitalism really. Anti-corporate maybeā¦ in as much as people wanted to make something they could then sell out to corporations. Most of the micro-breweries are owned by BigBeerCo. Inc. now. Bare brick was an aesthetic not a means to avoid using new paint.
in fairness, itās fancy expensive plywood.
Very interesting. Do you know on which topic it was? I canāt find the original link
I love it so much, I ordered two!
This one seems overkill, as it can fold up.
canāt wait for cuckoos mega tutorial on this
