kinda want the pretty freeze pedal, but no way i'm gonna carry the thing around with me. so maybe if the preorder is still up when i have money, i'm gonna get me a home studio toy.

You actually posted a picture to it though instead of just the website, we're both winners and it's just one big post.

eeeee

Meh. I liked it more when it was this---now that this is something tangible and definable with real-world limitations, I've just lost all interest. It just had so much more sex appeal and sophistication, when it was an unrestricted blur.

Elektron says they want to show us this, whatever this is.

Polyphonic Abyss from Dreadbox

This looks soooo cool. It looks a lot better than their other two wide-release, tabletop synths. Here's hoping it's under $1k *crosses fingers*

Excuse my corksniffing, but something in this video is not grounded right. All that static and those pops when he's not playing...

how can you say shit like this and even come within 100 miles of an echo degrader

Intended chip clocking > grounding issues

grounding issues sounds like a name for something. maybe a sitcom starring an out of work electrician who has to work as a babysitter?

Needs a sprinkle of Scott Baio & Hulk Hogan (are they brothers, roommates or best friends who are running their electrician business into the ground?)

On an unrelated note, someone mentioned the Rev2 a page or two back. This seems to be the replacement for the recently-discontinued P '08. ---It's about damn time. This NAMM has been suspiciously quiet on the hardware (non-modular) synth front. Even though the doors were scheduled to open an hour ago, hardly any info has been available on the usual fronts.

Maybe Pete Holmes can get in on the action since his new sitcom looks awful.

Two Malekko desktop synths and a drum machine. Guess Malekko partnered with Roland on the System 500 and decided they'd do all the cool stuff since Roland can't stop fucking up.

It looks like the Chase Bliss 'Faves' pedal finally has a street price-- $79 in the US. (6) total presets for people who don't need 100+ MIDI files, working within a more complicated rig

Nothing new on usb/iOS controllers. I'm so dissappointed with the current offerings out there.

This thread is majorly improving my shitty mood. Thanks for all the gear geekery guise! Also thanks to vidret for the trailer to "Grounding Issues"
