I’m tempted to buy it just for its absurdity.

And I’m sure some would consider that a con. It really depends what you are looking to get out of a device. As always - you should make purchase decisions for what they are at the given moment, not what they could potentially become.

I won’t be getting an EP-1320 but everything around this screams ā€˜fun’ to me. Huge kudos to whoever did all the promo artwork here. They went above and beyond for a product that will just turn a lot of people off visually alone. It’s refreshing to see hardware designers take risks, but I guess that is also a strength of the price point here. The original pocket operators also weren’t meant to be taken that seriously but they were arguably a commercial success.

ffs

As bizarre as this is, it is kind of nice to see some veering away from cyberpunk/synthwave/video game themed products.

The LARPing after parties are gonna be lit.

Before anyone bothers - no FW update

Hard agree. Not everything needs to be so serious. The design alone is going to create online chatter.

Is TE under pressure to release products to keep backers happy? Like i remember Elektron were releasing any old isht quite frequently after getting a cash injection.

They actually did it wtf :joy::joy: and TEdavid tricked us with the ai comment :laughing::ok_hand:

oh well, gotta apreciate the sacred mountain aesthetics. The launch is pretty dope in itself.

Kinda liked the Mohamed Ali one a bit better, but as a Jodorowsky fan I like the references.

Wont get it though, I have enough with my EP 133 KO, and I could put medieval sounds in there if I wanted to…

Keep it weird TE…
