M8 Tracker

There’s no trick. This will be 2021 game changer, in pocket form factor. I wished there was at least 1 pot on it, but midi will do.
Wave synth, 4 op FM and all MI Braids engine, unlimited stereo sampling, 8 track sequencer, 3 send effects and master limiter. What else do you need? :heart_eyes:

I really hope the M8 will be the advent of a new pocket synths era!

No pot, but the screen is an XY pad.

Mine got dispatched yesterday. I’ve been obsessively checking the DHL tracking! So far, it’s not left the US :frowning:

To say I’m excited to receive it is an understatement. I do have the headless M8 already though, so I’m familiar with the workflow now. But I can’t wait to get my hands on the actual device!

Please post relentlessly in this thread when you get it.

Heck, even updates to the tracking would be welcomed (by me)

Mine’s not dispatched yet even though I stumped up the extra $$ on top of the regular price to sponsor the project over a hump

Hmmm, seems a little unsporting …

From what I understand, there was an option on Patreon (for patrons only) to choose to have the M8 shipped slightly early at the cost of not having the correct links to the website and manual (which at the time were incomplete)… Honestly with all the work Tim’s been doing, I personally would be super understanding about something like that- out of the hundreds of supporters and purchasers, don’t you think it’s a bit unreasonable to expect him to think “Oh crap Mokomo gave me some extra $$, I’ll have to get his order out ASAP”. Lol. I’m sure he’s appreciative but it’s gotta be real tough to stay on top of that.

Also it’s being done by the order in which the orders were places. So order numbers #1000-1400 are the ones that are finished/shipping this week from what I understand. I’m in the 1700’s so I know I still have a bit of waiting to do.

Wonder if I’ll be able to save/sell enough to afford one in the production run….

I expect Tim will be happy to refund me the $50 and I’ll have paid the same price as everyone else.
Thanks for the wake-up call Garfield

Yeah I’m in the same boat, paid the extra but dropped the Patreon once my preorder was placed, but it seems like he was mostly offering early shipping to the Patrons almost as a shipping beta test rather than an explicit reward.

I’m order 1456… missed the cut

I’m not super dark about it, but Garfield did indeed open my eyes to perhaps I was a bit of a naive goon to throw $50 into the abyss for the love of humanity! lol

#1831 right here. I got the update in the email and now I have to quell my anticipation

Yeah I guess it gets a bit philosophical right? To throw money into the abyss for the love of humanity (to me) means not expecting anything on return for it, right? Idk- I guess that’s just my thinking when I give something in a charitable spirit. I choose to support a cause, and that cause (in this case, hundreds of people receiving an awesome handheld tracker) being fulfilled is worth the money.

Oh shit! Well I guess you truly have nothing to complain about then :grin::grin: congrats on receiving it and let us know how it is :grin:

well I look forward to receiving it nonetheless. toyed around with the headless for a bit and the workflow is different, but very friendly.

no doubt as an untethered portable that looks like a calculator for people who only count up to 4, it is nice and discreet too for those of us who don’t like to sit on public transport with an MPC on our lap. :rofl:

Sorry. It is because I needed to test the shipping process and well there was no manual so for some people that would have been fine, but for others it is not fine at all.

I thought it was a good idea at the time and I forgot some people left Patreon. Those +$50 orders will be sent out this Monday most likely unless there is a fire with my shipping process since they are the first orders in the system. I never offered the higher price as incentive to ship earlier (though that IS what is happening) if you recall it was to get on the preorder list and help support the display issue I was having.
