  1. kinda reminding me of that long lost Rozzbox synth from the early 00s

    which was an object of desire that i was unable to procure

    to my great dismay

    1. It’s 16 and you can probably chain up to 16 of them , They are not trying to be clear as possible for the impatient. I Like it 🙂
      Anyway. I could do without the sequencer at all.

  2. There’s a lot to be said for fun and form factor, but jeez, this does not sound particularly good… I do like the hi hats but overall this is flops completely sound design-wise. I hope someone can coax something more compelling out of it than these demo vids because it does look like a fun machine.

  3. This sounds very unique to me and something I would consider getting. I’ve only heard the classic drum machines like the 808, 909, Lin drum, Simmons etc. The only con is the price of it.

  4. I think the price point here is right, if you consider what you actually get in the box:
    4 x analog audio modules
    1 X Sequencer

    But honestly, I could live without their sequencer and then they could cut 100 € off, like AVP mad-5 < Just my opinion…

  5. I think if they priced it at $400 and gave it 16 dedicated steps it would be almost guaranteed to be successful. As it is now, it’s just an expensive hihat machine

  6. Kinda getting shades of that Korg Gadget Tokyo drum machine?

    Kinda neat, wouldn’t get it as a primary drum machine, but maybe for the more experimentive.

  7. Been messing with this for a few days…… The sounds are incredible and very unique. Beautifully made too. Sequencing it via Ableton Push
