Red Panda Tensor

[shikawkee]

Henry Kaiser and I will be at the Red Panda booth at 3pm on Friday at NAMM demoing these.
Should have a demo next week to run through (it won't be the final version. Those ship 1/25 as previously stated).

Patience now. New preorder ship date is 1/25.

I apologize that we are not going to meet the January 5th estimated ship date for your Tensor preorder.

The pre-production Tensor circuit boards were noisier than I liked in certain situations. I decided to upgrade the ADC/DAC from a portable (low voltage) Codec to a higher-performance Codec with its own, separate power supply. The new Codec has 104 dB dynamic range, -95 dB ADC THD+N, -90 dB DAC THD+N, and up to +12 dB analog gain to handle everything from quiet guitars to synths. I decided it was better to be a few weeks late than have the first batch of Tensors be noisy.

We expedited the initial set of circuit boards, but unfortunately they will not arrive this week. All of the other components are here,

Here is the current schedule:
January 11: prototype circuit boards arrive for validation
January 22: production circuit boards arrive for preorders
January 25: preorders ship

Since we missed the shipping date, when we ship your Tensor we will also send you a coupon code for 15% off a future order from our web site. Valid for 2 years on any size order.

Finally, one thing we didn't show in the preview video is that the Tensor has a USB jack for firmware updates and USB MIDI. All of the knobs, switches, and jacks send and receive MIDI continuous controller messages.

Thank you for your patience and support

Interesting descripts. Intriguing as all get out.

Very interested in hearing your thoughts.

The preorder started on black friday so with the sale they were ~$250. I don't know if they're back to regular price now.

299 on their website. I guess I'll wait for that guy to sell it in the B/S/T.

I know it's just hype, but:

Yikes...this has been going round n round for some time, like to hear/have it explained/demo'd..how long is Sample length ?? Longer or shorter than the revolver?

[damnableman]

Sample length is 4.8 seconds.
Time stretch ratio goes from 1:4 to 4:1.
It would be amazing if it went longer, a la Outward, but it should be pretty great either way.

Can't wait to get mine in! Should be next week I think according to their email?

[damnableman]

Two weeks, I think.
The 24th or 25th.

[shikawkee]

Definitely the 24th or 25th. They had to do some tweaks to the circuit.

I'll have a non-tweaked demo to use before NAMM to get used to it soon since Henry Kaiser and I are performing in their booth.
Might have it any day. The tweaks are to improve the noise floor and make it quieter which I welcome.

I know it's just hype, but:

That hype is fun to look at!

They are purty IMO!

Agreed! So stoked for this one.

Awesome. I can't wait to hear it in your hands. Will Red Panda allow you to put up audio clips beforehand? (Don't know if you'd want to do that, but I'm sure we'd all be indebted if you did.)
