I guess if you compare the price of a Biscuit to a OTmk1 it looks a bit over priced, you can do a lot of what Biscuit does - filter, lofi, delay on OT, albeit not exactly the same, but also much more besides, and if you really wanted to could have 2 stereo sources being processed simultaneously and independently each with upto 8 fx, plus scenes, sequencer etc etc.

I might use Biscuit the least out of my Oto boxes these days, but it would be the last one Iād get rid of.
the OTO Biscuit sounds really good, you cannot compare it with the OT for several reasons.
the first one is the Biscuit has true analog multimode filter and the input stage can go to 0 to +15db in diode clipping.
OT is digital.
Sure, that is why I said not exactly the same

The hype has boiled down for these so you will see more on sale because people want to unload and buy new things. Youāre correct my local market in San Francisco they are 775US. The sellers canāt move them at that price. I think even the OP-1 will see a price drop soon. I am waiting for Denis to release the new AD/DA box. That will be nice for bit crushing too.

What do you use most of ? I only have the BIM but I use that once in a while.
i sold mine because i felt the benefit of the money in my account outweighed the occasional use of it ā¦ it sounded great but it wasnt a core element of my āsoundāā¦
with covid / cut in salaries / lack of work i would expect people might trim some of the bit of gear that arent essential and are carrying large price tags. Iāve been looking at my analog heat and other gear recentlyā¦
Iāve used maestro on ipad recentlyā¦ itās ok, obviously not as goodā¦

Iāve noticed less bites when it comes to selling things online but as of yet I havenāt seen many crazy deals online either.
I guess people in the industry are not yet āoutā and are holding on until next year.
Perhaps hobbyists also arenāt necessarily as affected by the live performancepocalypse?
Either way the economy and the markets are disjointed.
Iāve only had it a couple months but Iāve been using Boum non-stop since I got it.
Bim and Bam get brought out for occasional use lately but arenāt as crucial to my setup anymore thanks to Valhalla and Goodhz plugins.
I have used Bim the most overallā¦ I really enjoy the modulated delays and smooth decay, but also enjoy it for vibrato and crunching up sounds set to 100% wet.
I have connected least with Bam, despite how beautiful it sounds. It might be because I donāt do huge, long ambient stuff too often. Itās amazing for that, but easier for me to do that and work with itb - Valhalla VintageVerb and Goodhz Megaverb sound equally great to me.
I donāt use Bim and Bam so much these days but I also think about if I have a more hardware-based setup again in the future, in which case those are the delay and reverb units Iād want.
Biscuit is my favorite box for noisy weirdness. I appreciate the softer bit and sample rate reduction in Ableton and Elektrons, but Biscuit has a sharpness to it that, when combined with the incredibly smooth filter, sounds like nothing else Iāve heard (mind you I havenāt tried the vst). It also sounds great as a chorus unit and I love how the sample rate is tied to time in the delay mode. Biscuit crunches up drums like nothing else Iāve heard. Iām glad used prices are coming down so people who want one can hopefully get one.

Same, it was absolutely lovely and i really ought to have tested running in hotterā¦ but i ended up going with Vahalla over trying to route BIM/BAM. I could probably have told the difference with a single synth into BIM, but in the mixā¦ i just took the extra $900 and will put it towards something i need more.

I donāt see prices coming down over here in germany and i would expect theyāll go up. Itās still a rare device that enough people praise. I for myself only miss mine when iām reading threads like this. 
Great box but not what i needed for my music.

Itās funny this thread was resurrected as I was speaking to a friend just the other day about parting with mine. He had expressed interest when I first got it. I just find it doesnāt make it on enough of my tracks. Itās almost like itās too distinct.

I already use the BIM and if you use thru mode itās comparable to the mpc 60 and studio 440 sound at around 35-40khz. I think someone told me the 16 bit thru mode of BAM is comparable to an Akai 16 bit sound too. So I am waiting for this box to happen.

I really hope itās in the form of BIM/BAM/BOUM boxes. It would be cool if it was the OTO BON =)
If the 8 bit sounds like a Mirage sampler oh man that would be amazing.
