How is the workflow for you with this and what do you use it for ? How do you control it, too ?
I'm considering one maybe later this year if I sell some things (BIA and some other stuff). I first need to get rid of the Folktek Mescaline ideally locally and finally get a Teletype but it could be a good solution for a number of things in my still 7U/84HP case (looping, recording, sample playing, FX that do not need too many hands-on controls).
I believe Dark Barn and Ruiner have one as well.
As with something that deep it'll take a a damn while to get everything down pat. I'm nowhere close to mastery with it. It's stupid powerful though.
When I'm feeling lazy I just use it as a triggered sample player, but you can do whatever you want before or after wards in the chain though. You have to really try to max out the CPU on the thing so the sky is the limit. Someone made an entire FM synth module for the thing and even that only uses 75% of the CPU at max.
To control it you can feed whatever you want into the 16 jacks on the bottom right side. Triggers, LFOs, sadness, whatever you want to control it with. The interface is also pretty intuitive once you get the hang of it, latency basically doesn't exist either so it's very responsive.
TLDR: It costs a lot, it's worth it (in my eyes).
