What happened to the good old days when all music was created with the human voice, a stick hitting a rock and maybe a noseflute? I guess all music is about one thing triggering another thing.
"And what's all that nonsense about a bamboo stick?!!! It has to be an all-oak signal path. And round, pink-grey, slightly shiny rocks are soooo last year! A matt-grey sedimentary lump cracked in half is all you need for a huge variety of timbres…"
Sorry. I'll stop now.

I don't mind the 4 screws in the corners, but the ones in the middle definitely detract from the aesthetics.

I wouldn't say that I'm excited – but I'd gladly pay an extra $100 for extra real time functionality (knobs/faders) that the novation doesn't have in addition to preferring aluminum over plastic.

This would have been exciting news a week ago. Before Novation dropped the Launchpad news.

Whoops.

This looks more like a prototype to be honest.
What is with the screws on the faceplate?
I like the wood but the burnt in lettering makes it all look a little…. homemade?

May be I am too picky.
