At first I was like…meh,pretty disappointed. Then I got to reading the manual. This thing is actually genius! I’m still confused on the tiny sequencer buttons. And they have no secondary trig functions printed under them which is different.
I’m not preordering but I’m definitely buying. There is more to this thing than what everyone is seeing on the surface. I think the “don’t knock it ‘till you try it” should be applied here. The class compliant usb2.0 is great news too! I’ll be able to use this as a controller within OB2 with my other Elektron machines.
I’m actually glad Elektron made this. While everyone is saying it really appeals to beginners. Which may be sorta true. The speed to get things rolling is awesome. I think it’ll sit great with other machines in a live performance atmosphere. Especially with off the cuff improvising and sound altering capabilities of whatever you load it with.
It’s definitely not what I was hoping for. But is a lot more of something different and original. So y’all don’t buy it so it’s easier for me to get one.
I’m digging it.
