Guest Glass Plate Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 some times it sounds ok, but it doesn't sound like all the classics it says it does. the "dark 80's electro" section totally isn't accurate sounding at all.

Guest Glass Plate Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 no, no way in hell could I afford to buy shit like that right now. I try to never spend more than like 100$ on a piece of gear in general atm.

Guest e440hz Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 haha word. they have a dope concept though: "Concept In the beginning, synthesizers weren’t about presets and using the same sounds as everyone else. They weren’t even about creating your own sounds, but creating your own original synthesis system. You could order individual, custom made modules and combine them together in any way you liked to create your own unique synthesizer and re-configure it any time you wanted. Moog Modular Origin takes the concept of the Analog modular systems of the past to a new level, using cutting edge digital technology. You combine all the modules you want, - either models taken from classic synthesizers or innovative modules created by Arturia - in order to design new synthesizers that never existed before. " plus its a dope concepy Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/41154-grooveboxes-are-not-dead/#findComment-909052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Glass Plate Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 yeah but it doesn't sound that great, and for 3500 I could build a fucking massive modular that not only sounds better, but probably just as much variety.

Guest spraaaa Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I like the concept but my laptop + soundcard + cheap evolution controller + bidule cost less altogether and do not any have wood siding. also the modules look kinda limited (tho that probably depends a lot on how you can connect them). would love to see some other things like this developed though... nord micromod groovebox or something...

Guest Glass Plate Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 wow yeah, you could build that many modules for way cheaper, and have them be analog...

BCM Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 lol £1800 odd for that??? if I had a couple of grand to throw around I certainly wouldn't be spending it on an Arturia Origin.... you could get a Doepfer modular system AND a Moog Little Phatty for that kind of money.

soundwave Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 (edited) Knowing Arturia this thing will be bug ridden till 2010 and I can't see how they'll beat Elektron for workflow but we'll have to wait and see. Only 4 part tho :( for the money a Monomachine and Machinedrum will give you more. and Jorg finally finished the http://www.radikaltechnologies.com/spectralis.html# after the best of five years.

THIS post is what i desired out of this thread! could we please compile every fucking new (or recent) "groovebox" on the market??? i just love being able to carry one piece (and not a laptop, although i guess it sorta is like grooves-in-a-box) and jam Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/41154-grooveboxes-are-not-dead/#findComment-909727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
