New Korg Analog Grooveboxes!!!!!?????

[behndy]

idjits. shit looks AWESOME.

i um. i like the ideas of the other two, but i get uncomfortably tight in my pants thinking about 2 or 3 of the drummy machines sync'd up cascading into each other or layering through different efx routes for each box. yesh please.

MURDER hard.

[Holy Schnikes]

I'm all about that drum machine which will result in me being all about the entire line I'm sure.

[RR Bigman]

analog drum machine? yes pl0x

[proroby]

They're gonna be about 150 euro, not usd, so about $200 usd. I'm super interested in the drum machine.

[Deltaphoenix]

I saw 119 euro today. That is $155.
And Korg doesn't always price things at an equivalent price, usually this stuff is cheaper in the US, no VAT, etc.


Update:
From the official press release:

"The Volca series will be available in July 2013 for a U.S. street price of $149.99 each. Additional product information is available at Korg.com"

[bugzaney]

Oh so intrigued.

[univalve]

That shit is at musikmesse. Will have a Look at them for sure.

Welcome to the Golden Age of Electronic Music Gear.
It's pretty amazing considering when I was in high school 15-ish years ago, electronic music was cost prohibitive for me. Now we're seeing all manner of electronic kit in damn near all price ranges. Love it.

[phantasmagorovich]

Want the beats and bass ones!

No kidding! It really bothers me when people start calling the 70's or 80's the golden era of music gear, when right now you can go pick up a jazzmaster for under $500, a great analog synth for under $600, all kinds of great tube-amp options for under $500, and there's an entire universe of amazing effects under $100! As far as music creation goes there has never been a better time to be a musician.

I feel like these new groove-boxes are like Pokemon. GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL.

[Forrrest]

that bass station looks rad. that's the one I want. I'll even take a rack version instead!

[Dr. Sherman Sticks M.D.]

since this kinda turned into a shmorgasboard? of a thread. the thing i am most excited about from all this is the new op1 os. and it doesn't involve me spending any money or gassing for new gear. YAAAY FREE UPDATES! YAY SWEDISH DESIGN TEAMS!!!!!

[behndy]

i wonder if they're rackable. there was that series of Alesis multi efx processors with Stoopid Hip Names on them that were about 1/3 kf a rack space wide each. and there was a shell you could buy to fit them and they had point to point connectors so you could plug them straight in to each other.

it was a neat idea, but the only one worth a damn was the one with crusher. the Bitrman maybe?

[space6oy]

yeah alesis modfx. but dude, the philtre and ampliton are sweet too!

$150 for these korgs? FUCK. YES.
