seems pretty interesting!

Isn’t this the machine that originally was to be a collaboration with a product engineer artist? If so, nice to see that they went with a consumer affordability route, as it sounds pretty good.

Nevermind, that was the Crum Drum.

Yeah i came across this too today and really felt a little bit in love with that. Seems to be a nice toy for performing. I am wondering if that could be usefull for a live setup that is less performative as well.

Quite a cool little device!

This looks like a lot of fun on its own, or as a clever sort-of drone while you play something else.

In case the variety of built in sounds aren’t enough and you are using the generative portion of this synth, or on the other hand you want to use the internal sounds with your own sequences.

Very simple thing that opens this synth up even further.
