Muu · 2025-07-12T07:01:52.593Z

I put an order in and should probably see it by early August. Pretty excited and fortunate to have gotten a spot.

Unless it turns into another avalon situation…

I think i might be on the email list.not heard anything.

Congrats on making the order. Out of curiosity, how long did it take to get that golden ticket email ?

BassesAndPads · 2025-07-14T03:20:08.203Z

Yeah how did that work out in terms of wait time? I’ve been on the email list around 6 weeks.

rame · 2025-07-14T07:25:28.880Z

ive been on it since there is a website (year or something like that). its a one man operation. it will take some time to move those units. if you need something right now, i would look otherwise.

BassesAndPads · 2025-07-14T15:24:08.785Z

I don’t need it now, just trying to get an idea of how long the wait will be. I think he just recently started producing these in earnest so I’m not sure that a year will be the wait time. Or maybe it will, seems like a mystery to most right now on how the release process works.

I signed up for the list even though I don’t think I need it with the S2400. I’m really curious whether the streamlined workflow and converters/filters are significantly better to me. Makes sense that it would be worthwhile but it’s still pricey. I wonder how many people have ordered it.

Its a beauty. I got him to fix something the other week (midi start/stop not responding when it was in mute screen mode)…and fairplay he fixed it with a new firmware in a few days…Ive also asked about the possibility of having an asterix next to whatever channel and group are already taken with samples

Some filtered house on the MKS (and Abletons auto filter)

BassesAndPads · 2025-07-29T21:46:36.291Z

How much did you use Ableton filter compared to the mks?

jones79 · 2025-07-30T08:18:02.611Z

100% Ableton auto filter on this. You need the LFOs. MKS filters are more for sweeps or shaping a sound.

BassesAndPads · 2025-07-31T02:30:49.452Z

Cool. That’s a good workflow. Shape the sounds and add the lfo and movement in Ableton. jam out an arrangement on the mksrec while recording. Then maybe jam out some more automation with Push. Mix and done.

At least that’s how I envision using mine. Should have it next month.

Youll need the Nome sync box (or something similar) to get properly sync’d up with MKS and Ableton (as master)…I like to get going with auditioning sounds in Lives loop mode, get a few loops playing nicely together, get them all in key etc, bit of EQ and then sample into the MKS…Get the groove going on the MKS and then sync up with Live for musical elements…Then track the MKS into Live

BassesAndPads · 2025-07-31T13:19:54.203Z

Nice. I have that exact box. Probably the best sync box I have owned.

Is this what you guys are talking about? I’ve been looking for the best sync box to record the MKSREC1 with my DAW.

That’s it. It also sends audio sync so once he adds that functionality you can just use that. It’s insanely tight with audio sync. I used that on a few drum machines that took sync and there was zero jitter at all.

Mksrec has the audio sync jack but he told me that it doesn’t function yet. It’s coming in a firmware update at some point.

The nome is cool because the little vst it uses has a tighter sync than just sending audio pulses like most boxes do. You also can set the latency so once you do that and make a template in your daw, you never have to think about it again.

I ended up ordering one. I read about that U-Sync VST and it sounds exactly like what I was looking for.

Superb build.

Looks amazing. Congrats. Are in the US? Curious what the customs experience is like.

When did you pre order? Looks really nice in your photo.
