people complaining about being able to customize the startup and screensavers on the site for a company that sells groove boxes with special sticker packs to individualize their synths lol
im probably going to get one and will def customize it 
theres a long tradition of people customizing roland sp samplers
the OLED screen is a critical addition for me to make the most of this device…I really like this, may just get one for the fun of it.
Get a myvolts cable and a battery pack 
It’s unlikely, but if the usb c port could support a hub so you could use an external hd and keyboard (I hate playing baselines with pads) 
. It’s listed as audio/midi but I wonder if it supports midi in and out? Same goes for the audio!
The pics show midi in and out + L/R in and L/R out on 1/4" jacks. Click
I’m talking about the USB C port though. Can always use my Keystep with the traditional (mini) DIN ports which is fine, but I have so many other midi keyboards that are USB A only (that could possibly be plugged into a USB hub)
Ah, sorry. Midi on usb usually is for in and out if the device supports that (so probaply yes), for the audio side, we’ll have to wait.
It actually looks like the bidirectional USB audio is covered in the description!
“capture audio from or stream direct to your mobile device via USB”
i have gas over this like no other gear out there *
edit: *i can afford right now lol
Same here, i will preorder this asap! 
Curious when it’ll be out. Looks ready to me
He was friends with Dr. Groove. I heard they went on a boat trip together. Man, I miss my Dr. Groove though. They should make an mk2…
Will they launch the preorders already, the cat is out of the bag innit 
The question you do need to ask is if it’s usb audio/midi host or just device.
If it’s device only then it needs a usb host, if it works as host as well then things are looking better
Since it has only one usb port it is very likely not an usb host port. Otherwise you couldn’t connect it to a PC directly (usb host to host doesn’t work).
Teenage Engineering OP-Z is both host and client usb midi. And just client usb audio. And has only one usb-c port
Holy shit I was about to get a push 2 for chopping and sampling but this device has allured me since seeing the Madlib documentary where he jams out beat tapes on just a SP404.
Might persuade me.
Any word on release date / price in EU?
Roland is stepping up to the plate this year. I’m very curious what the pads are like because the previous 404 pads suck. But either way I’m buying this. Thought I was done buying hardware, Guess not. This is just too compelling.
Ehm, it looks like intermediate Photoshop creation.
No display glow/reflections. Very questionable fonts for this type of display. Top screws are copy/paste with no drop shadow from them. Degraded/blurred image quality on the sides, some Clone Stamp tool work on top left side . Too much text/labels on and around the buttons, bad UI layout.
Then it was a hoax by Sam Ash. It was up for a while.
