Yeah I was expecting $500+
It's a sampler, not a synth.
Your moms a sampler
Your moms a synth
These moms could get together and make beautiful music
I shamelessly hate everything TE has ever done. Their shit is underpowered for the price, and looks like a children's toy. This thing looks like a shitty third party answering machines accessory for the NES from like 1985. But for some reason the hipsters love the minimal aesthetics squonky bleep bloop boxes. Meanwhile I could buy three kinds of volcas for half the price and actually have a functional setup.
They're primarily a design company. The aesthetic is the selling point. It's like buying a Mac to play videogames. It'll play em, but not as well as something much cheaper.
I don’t have any expertise on this sort of thing to weigh in… so I’ll defer to you there, and would humbly suggest the aesthetic is the important part for this community.
And your Mac analogy has been true for a long time, but is becoming outdated ;)
Oh, I know. It's got that aesthetic that we're here for for sure.
But instead of making music with your functional setup you're here complaining vehemently about something you hate to people who don't. k
That's awesome!
Nice to see more people posting :)

I know, and did that. The link didn’t show up for some reason, so I commented with it.
I love orange
