Would people pay 50 bucks for one shots of @Fin25’s noises or @sezare56’s OT metronome?

It’s all about how you market it
Not sure I’ll buy this, but this thread has been a fun read. The only TE product I ever purchased was that little pocket operator sampler (can’t remember what it was called). I made two super fun beats on it using only my voice (they later wound up on one of my records) and never touched it again. The results were more fun than the process for me. I was interested in the 133 to see if I could get some similar results in a more fun to use package. Now this comes along and I like that the samples are at least different. Not sure, but it’s really funny and I might just try it

I guess it was the PO33.
I had one for my birthday.
Faulty. Received a new one : brocken screen falling from 30 cm high the day I received it.
Had family fun with it even with the brocken though, screen informations aren’t very helpful except…tempo!
Now a switch doesn’t work. Useless. These days I’d rather buy a pocket kalimba.

Was meant to go hiking but the weather wasn’t on our side so we end up going to a outdoor living history museum for 1800s America and saw this organ-thing which also has great type on it!

I do hope it’s one of those things like when Elektron made the silver digi’s as a way to make a chunk of change to help them blast through Digitakt II production/release. Maybe the Medieval is making way for the renaissance

I would insta-buy a “world sounds” version. In fact they should prob be more specific. Would be great to have just a gamelan one (even just Javanese or Balinese)… maybe and India one. And for sure they need non-western tuning. Kinda surprised this Medieval ones doesn’t have it.

You can finetune by ear. Put same sound on pads with different finetuning. That way it should be possible to achieve pure intervals. AFAIR that’s the main thing in western medival music, although there might be huge differences between folk and church/monastery music, instrumentation and singing. My memory says pure fifths were important but may just be made up by the biological LLM

Agreed. If anything, going fully unhinged with the medieval theme at first gives them great licence to make edgy/bold seem relatively normal and sensible.
Kind of like a concept car, but in this case it’s a concept wagon (and horse).

I’ve been really impressed with the KOII … not really for features or spec, but mainly because it has some magic when it comes to immediacy.
It is close to top of my gear list in terms of the time between switching it on and getting something going that has the nuts of an idea. And for me, miles ahead of the PO-33 that I have, but never really gelled with.
KOII has a combination of the simplicty, the clacky buttons (and strangely their spacing) and punchy bite to the sound that encourages creation. I also love the display - ultimately a 3 character old school LED widget and some LEDs cleverly lighting up stainglass windows, but it’s just cool. I actually like that TE have swindled me through clever design rather than expensive components to not spend that much and generate such a colourful fun experience.
And then, it also has a handy way of being a midi note sequencer to other gear - very simple, but works just enough to be very useful

Would be cool if they released another theme’d unit on 1950s Americana / Atomic Age / B-movie sounds.
Could imagine plucky guitars/strings, harmonicas, bubbling science experiment synths, nuclear blasts and warning sirens, bleeping satellites, UFO invasions, death rays, phonograph and radio broadcast lo-fi fx.

I suppose if I were into sample packs or multisamples, I could see the appeal of themed samplers. But for me, the biggest joy of sampling is the whole process of discovering those samples!

Got mine in today, played with it for a few hours, it’s quite neat… looks even more like an old calculator in person, much weightier than I was expecting. You can get some kind classic house stab chord type sounds with a little tweaking on some of the multi samples. The arp is actually a great way to preform in the drums.
