NAMM 2016 : The thread

agreed on elitism. obviously i can't say with any certainty what op1 should cost but of course it'd be nice if it was cheaper. i lucked out and found a price mistake at a local reseller and got a new bundle w/$100 headphones for $664 shipped.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaanyways.

anyone picking up namm stuff?

waiting on the new pocket operators and a minilogue to get here

Grats! You will have to let us know how the minilogue treats you.

I'm waiting for the volca fm to be released . Was considering a 0-Coast, but I don't think I really need that atm.

in the process of selling off stuff to justify these purchases. sold my microbrute to a friend for a good price. can't decide whether or not i want to unload my machinedrum. trying to lose my volca keys too. looking forward to some finger waving from my wife when the mini shows up ;)

Haha. The 'ol "Easier to ask for forgiveness" chestnut.

I am obviously gushing over the OB-6, but no way could I afford it. Unless I sell the Prophet '08....GAH!

dunno..

nothing of this really tickles my fancy, the Volca FM maybe, because it looks very tweakable.

but these toy-sequencers (16 steps motherfucka!!) are sort of meh.

but it could be fun sequencing it via MIDI (if that's possible?)

not superfond of how TE stuff sounds - style is tops, but do I want to spend money on a thing which I don't like the sound of?

my girlfriend likes the minilogue.

volca fm and the OB-6 inch'allah

I'll certainly fall for an Expressive E Touché

That's pretty cool, it's like a single big key with aftertouch.

Also good synth programming does wonders for that demo, some of these namm vids are really lacking that.

I really want to have a blast on that and the OB6. The brute looks amazing but apart from the matrix it does not bring anything new to the table for me, looks glorious though.

As for the OP1, I think people assume it's a toy and gimmicky but it's a bloody deep piece of kit, kinda like an octatrack in a way. I'd say it's worth it's money.

Never write anything off unless you have sat for some time with something.

Yes, and much more IMO. It seems to be a great tool to manipulate an already recorded (MIDI) sequence. I own a Roli Rise, love it, and I can see the Touché as its perfect sidekick. The Rise is a lot about the performance itself, the Touché might be damn useful to, for example, do insane modulations on an acid line, or to create sick delay/reverb chaos on drums.

These look niiicee.

yes those new mfb boxes are lovely !

and about the OB-6

as in these are your purchases?

volca fm for sure !

OB-6 I really like it but the thing is pricey as fuck (3279 euros )

Guess I'll have to put money in the bank.

Same.

But the TE thing reminded me I would love to have a sophisticated conditionals-based stand-alone sequencer where you could really condition anything by anything.

Definitely going for a Volca FM. It's a Yamaha DX7 in pocket sized form!

yeah the volca fm sounds very nice. I already have two devices capable of fm synthesis but that doesn't stop me from wanting it :P

That does not matter, not all FM devices sound the same, they can be as different as analogue synths differ from each other. Even the DX7 and DX7mk2 sound different.

BUY ALL ;)

Yeah I am actually hoping what I'm working on right now eventually turns into this. But it's kind of like hoping a wooden raft turns into a star ship.
