This looks very sick, I want one!!!!
Not really liking the trend of MIDI controllers that don’t have a 5pin MIDI port.
amen! i wont buy it if its usb midi only.
this looks fun, tho.
Oh god i want one too!
I already have a MF Classic, and I don’t really use it that much, but I want this, because, well… PRETTY LIGHTS!
Hmmm, I paid 140$ for the Presonus Faderport, and this is just essentially 16 pretty buttons. Not even velocity sensitive. I don’t get it. Enough said.
This is “cool”. That’s all there is to get!
I grew up in a seaside town filled with amusement arcades so i can appreciate the (futuristic) nostalgia value.
But i agree with you though- it’s like the most super basic MPD. But i guess when connected to super sophisticated Software it all kind of evens itself out.. 😉
– Maybe not “super ” basic..
Wow. Cool–ness fac–tor. Nice esthetic.
Too bad it’s chained down to a computer…
