What's hot in 2021: PAINT ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR FRENCH FUZZES

[Pepe]

Do you mean the Kawai K5000? I’ve heard demos that make me want one, but different K.

Of course. But anyway, I'm glad to see Kurzweil back on the market!

Another tiny synth with an abysmal interface, but maybe I'm just jaded now and this one is amazing.

I wonder what Red Panda is unveiling today..Bitmap 2 or Raster 2? months ago they said they were working on both of those, and i'd be totally down for a Raster 2, the pitch shifting features on the V1 were ideal for me, and having it in the new form factor would be perfect.

Color makes me think Bitmap 2 if they aren't being tricky, though the Raster has been kinda overshadowed by Particle 2 + Tensor, so maybe more pressing need for updates there and delays are surely easier to sell. More Red Panda is always a good thing either way.

it's the Bitmap 2, the NAMM website leaked it. I'm interested, sounds like they they fleshed it out a fair amount

"The Bitmap 2 combines the features of Bitmap version 1 with our 2009 Bitcrusher and adds waveshaping, wavefolding, and a window comparator"

I'm hoping it'll have some more LFO options.

interface aside, i'm intrigued - especially in a small package looking forward to hearing it....

Eric Wareheim is alive and well and inside of a dark Korg-filled room

I've always wondered what the price point effect of adding individual outputs (a la the classic Roland machines) these days (lord knows we all want 'em), and it looks like we might find out!

drumlogue is potentially cool? Will wait and see I guess

[Dandolin]

oh look, another expensive reverb (reverb is expensive)

saw some speculation that an R1 was sure to follow the M1, and sure enough....

Apparently, they've sampled one of the Lintronics-modded Memorymoogs for this software tribute. Considering the power and smoothness of Workstation/Falcon, this is instantly going to be the best Moog VST around. ---I've used several Minimoog emulators and even UVI's XL tribute, but this will get into new territory. The spatial print and the drift of a Memory just eclipses every other poly. Toss in some external modulation and I imagine the PX will be able to flirt with Moog One territory. Too bad everyone's already downloading this, so it's going to take extra time to complete. Oh well, I'm excited.

I'm a bit surprised to see the $50 bump. I wonder how much of that is from the tariffs over the last 4 years.

Sounds solid here with a Mel9, but I'd need to hear much more to justify something like this over an Eventide Space, which I think is the best floor unit for most studio needs. You'd be paying about the same price on the used market, since there are so many more Eventides already in circulation.

I don't dislike it, and I know a lot of people swear by the first mako. It's got a good size for the amount of functions and sounds it has. It's not my thing since I'm a desktop player and reverb like that comes cheap from ableton, but I see the appeal.

Pedal wise if the Bitmap 2 rumours are right that's already locked as my pedal winner of namm tho lol.

It's NIN in a pedal, and I'm so going to jump in that shit.
