  1. I would love this thing with a more comprehensive user interface and direct control over 16 instead of just 8 steps.

  2. My thought exactly. I love the Electribe interface – they should just steal that!

    That or have an iOS editor – but pure hardware people would hate that.

    Looks pretty cool, though!

  3. Hmmm. It looks like it's got a single mono output. Asking for individual outputs is perhaps a bit much, but the lack of stereo is disappointing.

  4. You can see if you watch the videos that it does in fact have 16 steps—you switch from the first 8 to the last 8 and back by using those directional buttons on the right.

  5. what is 'stereo' anyway? disappointing : great !! we dont need so much musicians around btw πŸ˜‰

    its a bit offending the word 'chiptune' exploitation !!! πŸ™‚ they need money to build the units btw πŸ˜€ more crap music with different sounds πŸ™‚ House music and teenage trends will be poluted of this btw , hahaha
