No, and don't let anyone tell you different. If a piece of gear sounds cool to you and makes sounds that you want, then it shouldn't matter what the gear is.

Honestly I find the fact that the Timbre Wolf isn't even in tune with itself, on any level, kind of endearing. I really hope these things just tank in value because I would totally pick one up for $100 or something and make some detuned madness.

I'm waiting until Aphex Twin makes a killer track with it and all the gearslutz start talking about its unique and versatile character.

Wonder how much the Casio groove box is going to retail for. Tiny, a built in speaker and, I swear, Devo's It's Not Right as one of the preset beats. Not that I have any need for one, but I think I'm sold.

On another note, did Korg hint at any kind of price for the MS-20 module? I couldnt find a dollar amount anywhere, but maybe i missed something obvious.

Yeah it's $1200 at Sweetwater http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/MS20MSQ1LTD

Which sucks because I really don't want an MS-20 with keys, I would much much rather have this, but I can't understand how deleting keys and adding a couple of basic features doubles the price over the mini.

It's not a real solid reason, but mainly because you should compare it to the to the full size MS-20 kit version.

I found the Korg MicroSampler keys are pretty much identical in measurements to other keys, here being an MK61 midiboard and an old Malmsjö organ. Hard to see since I'm weak and sick and barely able to shoot snapshots straight but they all have 9/16th space between black keys near identical (the MK61 having a pinch less space)

Are the MS20 mini keys even smaller than that? If the MS1 keys aren't SlimKeys, wth are SlimKeys?

e: better measurement = one octave of MS1 keys is one key shorter than a full-size keyboard
No wonder it feels perfectly fine for me

I have a brand new minibrute I'm trying to offload if you want the same sound. :v:

But on the subject of mini-keys, for what it's worth the MS-20-mini ones feel like the best mini-keys I've ever played (they're very solid) and going back and fourth between my full-sized and mini keyboards isn't a thing I have to think about.

Not only because of the fibro is it that I can only really do fullsize standard keys if they are the very best and straight outta FATAR or a comparable factory and also have wheels, not joysticks :smith:
It's just that good. Nearly dropped €200ish on a Kurz K2000 again to have as a midiboard a few years back. The 61 key board I got from a second hand shop (+5v from gameport for power) simply requires too much pressure to trigger, it's like typing on a stiff computer keyboard and not one of these softer Logitechs I cannot live without.

I those wheel-having smaller midi keyboards of Korg have these sorts of keys I need to dump this 61er and get one.

Hello MiniBrute friend. What would you be looking for that, perchance (shipped to 98102)?

Also, since I've (so far) acquired all my HW synths via goonsales and would like to keep that train a-rollin' if I can, does anyone have a lightly used, well-loved Volca Keys or Volca Bass (and/or Volca Sample!) they want to sell to me?

They're going for around $350 on ebay right now so somewhere around that. (shipping will be included since it's only coming from 92805)

If you're interested send an email to benloe81 (at) gmail.com.

And I only have the Volca Sample... but not a chance in hell I'm selling it since the SQ1 will sync that. (that and it's loving awesome)

Considering the rhythm wolf's bass synth(which this is just 4 copies of), can't track accurately over an octave, it probably just sounds this bad.

No worries, it's a breeze and quite the pleasure to use the MS1:

I did however find that you've got a hiccup with your recording interface, too low ASIO latency? Many keys on hit a snag like this

(D3, F3, G3, A3, C4, D5, E5, F5, G5, B5 and too many of the black key samples to be able to fill in the empty spaces)

But oh maaaan how nice it sounds to play the MS1 like this :unsmith:
God bless samplers. We all need them and I gotta convert old treasures, maybe see if I can convince the Swedes to sample off their Moogs for me..

e: Can otherwise confirm it does a seemingly flawless job at automatically blending samples for keys that otherwise would be left empty, great machine. Only whites are necessary
e: Speak up if you want a 76 meg Roland S-550 sample-set with a ton of good stuff, also has wav-conversions for use with non-S series sampler

The more I read about that little casio groovebox the more interested I am. Having sample memory and a load of effects makes it quite attractive. Have any of you seen a video of the synth voicing in it being demoed?

E: If we're doing sample requests, anyone have some nice rhodes samples? :shrug:

E2: Actually the lack of non-usb midi out on the groovebox is a little worrying (not that I sequence via anything except pc at this stage, but was hoping this might be a step in the right direction). Here's hoping for v2 in a less ridiculous colour with midi ports.
