What are you guys drooling over?

Rob Papen's Predator looks kinda tasty...

a synth in development for the next Reason version

looks interesting

LOL, THOR I wanna job thinking up names for synths and presets

i just noticed the preset on that was "Lush Clock"

My god... Polysonic... Like the sound of that. Looks like fun too...

Sad

$3,000 for some VST's and a knob box? I dunno...

Even with its "supar dupar" modular aspect, I think 2 Clavia G2's would be quite a way more powerful to boot.

Shit you could almost get 3 G2 Engine's for the price of one Arturia VST in a box.

"Lush Cock"

Have not you guys heard VSTs are OHVERR.

not while the world has broke people

Yah but then $3 grand for a VST box is sort of defeating that purpose isn't it?

a vst you can't pirate... hmmm.... sounds.... useless...

Could be!

To be fair, I bet you could get some neat sounds by combining their different emulations of things, just like they claim. Jesus is that expensive though. The wood side panels to a VST knob box is super LOL as well!

I'm mostly broke but I still don't like them. They're definitely convenient, but any amount of money for a .vst (much less $X, XXX) is WEIRD.

i'll reserve my judgement until i hear the sounds.

Yeah a statement like this is gonna tick off a few people, altho I do somehow agree with you a certain level.

For a lot of musicians workflow is really important, and a lot of people I've met really enjoy sitting down infront of tiny boxes and just slamming stuff out. This is prolly why the Elektron Machinedrum was so popular last year. They could start blagging out beats, and even mangle them thru max msp and toy with their synths. That was strictly digital tho with no digital out ironically. Things like this are a lot more fun during live performances, as typically i noticed I perfer to use the mouse as little as possible.

I think a lot of computer based musicians look at drum machines as something that is typically built into thier sequencer of choice. For most sequencers there is very little reason to get external drum machines unless you are just completely in love with the slight nuances of analog gear or just perfer to use your DAW for mostly working with pre recorded samples you've collected with your gear. In a similar respect some people like playing thier drums "live" on a midi keyboard or velocity senesitive drum pads.

Me personally, I perfer midi editing in a piano roll or tracker, but I also have and use the velocity sensitive drum pads on my midi controller. I'm one of those (at the moment) that perfer as little on my desk as possible, however quite a lot love to have an entire room filled with gagdets.

drum machines/groove boxes/sequenced synths/16-step sequencers are one of the most masturbatory and pure pleasure ways of making electronic music period. For a very long time i was exclusively using a computer to sequence. I got myself an elektron machine drum and a korg electribe and it is a very refreshing and perspective shifting experience to make music on. And my opinion is a live electronic show with a groovebox or drum machine is always more entertaining than a laptop show. Wai Chaneg/optic had a great live setup with old inexpensive mostly roland drum machines, about 7 of them slaved up with eachother. With nothing more than the drum machines and a few guitar pedals he was able to make some extremely complex beat music completely on the fly. It was very inspiring to me and made me truely appreciate real live electronic music, as opposed to mouse clicking track mutes.

I buying all the Plan B and LIvewire stuff :-) yum
