The high spec stuff is just an itch I have to scratch. As I’m inventing my own system as I go along, I get to decide everything about it. I’d like it to be interoperable with Eurorack but that doesn’t mean I have to use ribbon cables.
I believe that’s the exact one I ordered and that arrived the next day
It appears these are being sold at dump prices at the moment (about 110 Euro). Looks like a fun controller to me.
Got one in the mail today:
and what do you think ?
guess you just got it , should give you a bit aye .
Yeah I’ve been eyeing those. It’s just so cool and weird.
I just checked the BAX shop. Weirdly high prices in the UK shop compared to the German one. £363 versus €194.
gear4music is available all over the place, with somewhat varying prices (I guess depending on local stock); their US store has it for $119.75, the UK one for £109.99. Even cheaper in some other countries. Haven’t checked shipping.
Bax UK is just weird. I got a really good deal on the Crave about six months ago, but here they’re not even trying.
I saw the “Bad Gear” review of this a week or so ago. He had some fun with it, and like most of what they review, the verdict was “Oh come on now, it’s not that bad.”
It looks like amazing value for €90. I’m not tempted, though. It seems to have been designed for a specific kind of music. I just can’t see myself knocking out a baroque cantata on this kind of gear.
LOL no why not
Well the lack of a MIDI In severely constrains the kind of stuff you can set up on it.
Well is that entirely true? According to a friend of mine who bought one and I also seem to remember this from the bad gear review, if you connect a usb keyboard to it via its mini usb connector you can play it. So that is a form of midi in?
[Edit] Make sure if you order one that they deliver a power supply with an appropriate plug! I ordered one from gear4music.NL and got a UK plug?!
Why not set yourself a challenge now and then?
USB MIDI is good enough for Bach.
@analogoutput ‘s Cable Tester PCB arrived
I received a UK power plug, ordering it from gear4music.nl?!
But I had a converter plug and yeah, it sounds good.
Any pics of this somewhere?
DigiKey where the first I saw to offer “Next Day delivery if ordered before 4PM” way back in the late 1990’s.
They’ve has a special place in my heart ever since.
