It’s lighter than you would think, the encoders are low resistance and the knobs are a bit cheap feeling. Case is folded metal, not to the standard of an Elektron box tho.
The 2 way toggles are solid, the 3 ways have wiggle.
Some of the internals are hot glued in place.
It’s not industrial quality, it’s good for a small volume producer tho.
What kind of board is that? Looks a lot like the layout of Raspberry pi. I don’t know much about how this synth is built. I wonder if it runs on Linux
i thought vector was rasp pi based …?. .
a few korg devices are too.
and that granular synth .
edit - maybe not
It’s a RPi 3 with a custom IO board and 3 controller boards - the screen is a regular RPi 7" touch screen
The Korg Wavestate, Modwave and OpSix all use the same hardware - a RPi Compute Module on a custom motherboard (its the small board with the heatsink)
This is what I was expecting the Vector to be built like
I’m having trouble with firmware updates. I’m using a usb flash drive and doing the formatting and using etcher but it won’t show up on the Vector. Anyone have this problem as well?
Edit: I guess I was just using a bad usb flash drive, I used a different one and it works for anyone who has an issue too.
Just ordered a Vector. The pictures of the internal layout are very interesting. I wonder if anyone has tried upgrading the RPI to a newer, faster version? And if so what were the results?
