1. The music/sound demo was god awful. The timeline feature is cool though with a nice visualization. But, I got to thinking about it but isn’t that basically a weaker form of having a Patch A and Patch B and morphing between them in a certain amount of time? I know of a few synths that can do that.

   And something about the interaction feels odd to me and they need better players because they are not getting decent sounds out of this thing.

   I would criticize this more, since it could easily be a touchscreen app, but the price isn’t terribly high for a hardware synth with 4 parts, a 4×4 looper, effects, battery, speakers, bluetooth, etc.

2. The design and the marketing are good. I cannot really decide about the sound because the demos I’ve seen so far are confusing at best, mostly showing the reaction of people using it but making it hard to see what the workflow is or to hear how the sound is shaped.

3. Looks like a nice piece. keen to learn more about the synthesis types n stuff.

4. The internals of this are going to be all digital. It’s basically a software synth, so the real focus here *should be* on the industrial design and UX, in terms of workflow. Its designer is a smart guy, but seems focused (for now?) on building a closed software synth platform, which means that the capabilities of his soft-synth do become a limiting factor.
   That may be unfortunate – there are other similar form factor devices that are more open, (such as Zynthian), and these allow a choice of VST or VST-like synth modules.

5. When I see a new tool like this appear, I’m always a little torn between the novelty and what kind of practice it’ll take to make it truly useful. Making something fit into a backpack doesn’t usually address the near-full use I want to get from a synth.

   I can’t judge the sound this early on, but the feature set is impressive. There needs to be a less avant-flavored demo, but between being poly, multitimbral, possessed of smart I/O and with a 4 x 4 looper, its rewarding its weight class pretty well. More audio, please.

6. At first glance, it is ticking all the boxes

7. No audio input seriously limits the 4-track live looper they have as a bullet point. That is more like 4-internal instrument loops. Cool, but being able to send in and process external audio at this price point would make this more compelling. I applaud the design bravery and sticking to an interface.

8. That second image above, the close up of the device; the perspective seems very wrong in a way that hurts my eyes. It looks like a CGI of something that was not defined correctly.

9. so its an 18 min presentation and they manage to not show of a single decent sound or the supposed polyphony. what a waste of time. if this is a joke its not funny.

   1. The crazy thing is that it has won design awards and all sorts

      Everything about it is an unappealing mess to me and it sounds awful

10. more and more of these “cozy” synths going after the TE market

    1. Ain’t nothing cozy about using a touchscreen.

    2. Only cozy because of the sweater

11. I mean I’m the type of person where I will buy this just because it’s an interesting form factor and because I want more people to make more devices like this

    I kind of just want like an OP one that doesn’t cost $2,000 and that has like an easier recording system in place

    1. How is anyone comparing this to an OP-1?

12. now I know why that performance is so weird to watch
    it sounds like the residents, but its not tongue in cheek …
