net work error posted:I missed it, what happened?! From my skimming it's 3/4 Korg going on about an iterative update to the Kronos, and then a "by the way we've got this ARP Odyssey thing". Cut to a lame demo of it being played on its own for a minute followed by it being drowned out by the Kronos to show us how awesome it is. Edit: MSRP $1400... dayum. It wasn't really something I wanted that much but that's not even in the "maybe if the demos prove themselves" category. I'd just get a sub 37 stillvisions fucked around with this message at 03:32 on Jan 22, 2015 |

Apparently there's also possibly this: http://www.native-instruments.com/f...achines.232928/   A bit curious about the tomcat drum thing, seeing as the rhythm wolf felt overpriced for how crap it was sonically. (a+/10 on the construction though) E: well i do like crap but i don't like it enough to justify ~200 euros. Also possibly maybe sort of curious about that 4-voice poly. This is of course granted both of the above are real and not just really nice mockups but then again NAMM's just getting started right

The Rhythm Wolf fell flat, didn't it? They're launching another drum machine so quick? Regardless, I'm excited to see the flow of budget analog gear isn't drying up.

It does seem a little weird that they'd announce another drum machine so quickly on the tail of one that a lot of people, including (hilariously) Guitar Center employees, didn't know actually existed to begin with.

I was so excited for the Rhythm Wolf when it was first announced, too. Hopefully this one delivers where the Wolf did not, I guess.

BKPR posted:The Rhythm Wolf fell flat, didn't it? P much, seeing as it was (imo) rather dull and the synth part was out of tune and also the distortion circuit made me kind of sad To be fair at least they're built really sturdy! Which is great if you want to clobber someone to death with one which you probably would if you bought one blind online

Startyde posted:OK What's the current good/free robosampler? I used to use redmatica but I have nfc what to use now on PC. or I can just play them sequentially and you can chop. Chainer doesn't seem to actually be free, just a demo. Arcdev Synthcatcher is free (32 bit) but is a bastard to find since the dev seems to have departed the scene. So I'll just leave this here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m19jpuddrydtxc3/arcDev%20Synthcatcher.7z?dl=0

Does the Timbre Wolf look like it has patch memory? Depending on the price and whether or not it's actually in tune (looking at you Rhythm Wolf ), I kinda want one purely for the hilarious name

Lordy that KORG desktop thing is going to COST if their minikeys Arp is $1000+ But then again the older kit price will crash. Wonder how much better an Arp would really be than a Bass station 2 anyway.

The timbre wolf looks like it would be a very interesting machine, even if it should lack patch memory. I'm just worried that the synth voices will prove to be incredibly bland and mediocre.

Daaaamn that Arp reissue is too expensive. I can't imagine NOT shelling out $100 more for a Sub 37. Also, whatever flaws the possibly-upcoming Behringer clone has will probably be mitigated by the gulf in pricing. OTOH, If the MS20M isn't much more than the MS20 mini, it'll be on order ASAP.

interesting announcements from roland: JD-Xi, looks like a sort of a groovebox in keyboard format. 128 voice digital polyphony as well as a monophonic analog voice. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1Yh1UqMjcE there's also a JD-XA that look like a larger version of this, no details yet though. MX-1 "performance mixer". appears to have 5 stereo inputs, spdif in/out, as well as USB. depending on the price this might be the mixer that i want

I'm seeing 4 analog mono inputs and one stereo. An extra stereo one if you count the Aux return.  Would be magnificent if it was generic usb host to more than just the Aira series, even if it was just for midi, but probably not.

Mr. Glass posted:interesting announcements from roland: I saw the JD-Xi video and I can't tell if the kinda annoying presentation that initially set me against what they did. It kinda feels like design by committee - the product of a three-way between a simple monosynth, a rompler groovebox and a microKorg. I'm totally the wrong target for this at this point so I'm a really bad judge if this is a phenomenally bad fit or a simple groovebox/workstation with a controller to get people started. It feels like it was designed to piss off synth purists given forum reaction to it elsewhere. I guess it's the ultimate troll - Roland finally goes back to analog, but attaches it to a rompler. And there's the big Korg Modular video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cab4yWuidOs When the entire video is about things like finding authentic switches from the 60s and having that special aura it's clearly aimed at bringing forth the Prog Lawyer to replace the Blues Lawyer. The most telling line is they're not offering custom configurations because of the technical support in helping people choose and use their modules, like they're expecting people who have zero understanding of synths to be in line for one of these. Even the spiel had "for those who in their teens had a wonderment for Moog synthesizers" in there. No specs, no tech, all aura. I'll probably own a Moog one day but it isn't going to be one of these. But again, I'm not the target for this.

If it has patch memory, isn't it a DCO, not a VCO? Like at very least you're going to feed a VCO with a DAC, so isn't that "digitally controlled"?

DCO's apparently get a reset pulse every so often to get their pitch in line. You can still have patch memory with a VCO, with the same potential for drifting as a VCO, so long as you aren't constantly fixing the pitch.
