I can see wanting a more substantial enclosure at the $650 price point but it’s also quite feature rich and unique so I guess that it’s a trade off.
I’ll also be interested to see when somebody gets their hands on it. From what I can see on the website it’s a rather deliberate, schedule an appointment / built to order type of purchasing process so it looks like, for now at least, there is only one way to obtain this.

Yep, the M8 has set the standards pretty high in this respect

I think it looks pretty interesting, if I had the funds I’d be considering it seriously.

I’m very excited for Kaleidoscope! I’ve been following it since SimplexFM and the way Vadim designed the interface and engine is downright brilliant. I’ve learned a lot just by watching it evolve.
You can really see the OP-Z influence in the interface and the A4 influence in the signal path.
It’s very difficult to wait for this.

Watching this - and trying to digest it - modulation on this thing is mighty. In the beginning I thought everything could be achieved on the M8, albeit in a different way (tables). But no, not everything.
The thing is, everything is already mapped on the Kaleidoscope. To achieve the same effect on the M8 would take a lot of mapping effort.

Vadim just finished the first batch of instruments.

really interesting sound palette.
It initially grabbed me too, but the last few videos seemed a little flat/scooped in the high end. Could all be programming decisions too and not the output quality.

It sounds pretty lofi and I’m sure the youtube compression isn’t doing it any favors, but I like the fundamental nature of these patches.
I don’t assume this device has a high-quality output though, unless it does audio over USB as well and if that’s the case, then I don’t know what’s going on with the mix.
I do think that the palette of sounds is interesting though.
