I‘m so grateful I‘m not only immune to Eurorack but find it aesthetically appaling.

here’s an instagram of kaitlyn aurelia smith. in the background there’s a synthesizer (?) that looks like what an analog keys mk 2 would look like, if there was one. in my humble opinion. edit: also known as the “sh-101” 
The SH-101?

Wait d2ba, you made a bet with Ryan that there would be nothing new from Elektron at NAMM?

You should turn off all networking (including Bluetooth) when running a DAW, to remove potential sources of instability.

It is really quite a regressive trend… mono synths with no patch memories- and often no MIDI… costing like a grand… fuck that. I still do not get what / who they’re for exactly. Sound designers who cannot spend too much time with computers due to RSI is about the only market I can think of, but evidently the things are selling seeing how everyone is putting CV on their synths.
Something like Serum or Zebra or Reaktor can give a lifetime’s worth of deep sounds that can be saved on a USB stick… why the heck would anyone want that cable spaghetti to make some fat drone sound is beyond me.

You can eat ravioli at a restaurant or get it from a tin, just because you flush both down the toilet in the end it doesn’t make it the same.

we’re gonna go off topic but I get that people like tinkering with electronics and have disposable income.

Weren’t you in another thread cautioning against software because it’ll all be obsolete eventually, whereas hardware lasts forever?

You know how your always posting this synth would be better with x, y, or z. Or I can’t believe this synth doesn’t have a certain feature.
That’s why people get into modular.

Yes, but modular is taking the hardware approach too far 
and is atm ridiculously overpriced because it is targetting that disposable income. Arturia’s new rack cases are a good example. A box with a power supply for how much???

Hopefully Elektron will release an instrument with a redesigned interface.
The 8 knobs are nowhere near enough in a performance synth.
The encoders make the experience even less enjoyable.
Give us pots and a lot more than 8 please.
The interface hasn’t changed since monomachine, and it was questionable even way back then
