Never really felt much about Amon Tobins music but that little interview expressed exactly how I feel about it all it makes me want to dig right into his music and give it the time it deserves. Sounds like a great bloke.

Totally.

Aye, ever since an interview I heard of him around the release of Supermodified I've followed all his stuff with keen interest knowing there's a great bloke behind it all !

GarageBand iOS update is like ableton on an iPad

That's ace that it has an e-ink display.

OOF

Looks like a mix between the waldorf wave, Synthi and some ableton controller. I like it ha

Volca FM looks delicious

OK I was just saying a few days ago that I only lust for the Nord Drum 2 but I need that volca FM. I hope that thing ships really soon. I'll be excited to ride the bus again.

That Maxibrute is gonna be so expensive. Looks like a solid implementation of a great idea though. Volca FM? Need to hear this thing...

sadly the volca fm is a non working proto so...

pretty sure I'll buy it

I wonder what sort of shenanigans they're gonna pull to let you program 6 fm operators on a volca interface...

te teasing something other than pocket operators finally (op-z). will find out in a few hours. confirmed op1 update for april in comments here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BAyqxPgOzwC/

It looks like a simple case of guesswork spread over a couple of buttons and a knob....

In fairness tho, the OP-1 fm is controlled by 4 knobs which I don't really know what each one does but it's capable of a great deal of sounds. It's only 4-op though I believe.

As long as people aren't expecting FM8 in a little box it should be ok.

Looking forward to the Oasys Volca :)

One quote on sonic state says a supplier has suggested $1800 usd which if true puts it into the sub37 range. Could be interesting if true
