I had read about this a few weeks ago.If they get one in the shop here i try it out and may order one for christmas.

Actually it has some pretty cool sounds.
I could have used this a few months back when I scoring some Midget Porn flicks.
I was laughing so hard I kept getting rejected cues.
But the stuff is hilarious. Especially when theres like 8 of 'em on a bed getting it on, and all of a sudden they all get up at once as if someone yelled O.K. lets get some back door action going.......dayamn.
I always wondered why Midget Porn is twice as much as other Porn when the actors are all half of the size of other porn stars......Oh well.

That is too much information.

It looks cool but.
The price is outrageous for what it is.
and it will probably sell like hotcakes because its got a funny name and its blue.
grumble gripe..

Are you talking about dwarfs or smurfs now?

I dont thing 399€ is too expensive.The dave smith mopho is 350€ for a 1 voice synth.Or the tetra wich is even more € for 4 voices.I need to check it out myself tho.I will only buy it if it can do something that no other synth i have can do.Demos sound promising imo.

It's pretty cool if you don't already own a good hardware synthesizer. I don't find the sounds to be that unique. It will be a tough sell in todays difficult economy and synth saturated market. I bet most of the synthesizers ever made are still working.

I own a lot of hardware synths( and have access to more).At home i have just a waldorf microwave 2.The sounds of the demoon are imo very nice and it has a input,the size is another neat thing.I can build a control surface in c5 for it in 30 min and dont worry about editing.As i am building a small but powerfull live setup, this could be a cool addition.Fingers crossed for a demo.

It might be worth checking out, but I wasn't really that impressed with the demos... The granular effect is limited to 1 msec slices, so not really good for "sort-of-beat-restructuring", just "wave-mangling". In practice, it'll be just like morphing a noise wave into the Saw-Tri wave oscillator, and that doesn't seem so unique.

Personally, I'd spend that money on a Blofeld (which sits below the smurf synth in the demos), or a DSI. With the Blofeld you can even import and edit your own wavetables, and that should be fun!

[Fluxpod]

But i have a mw2 already.Blofeld sounds to vanilla for me and the os........meh dunno.The size and the input is what its doing it for me.Also...having something not everybody has is appealing.The 1msec slices are ok for me.If i want to reslice beats i use max or reaktor or or or or .....

..To Hell w/ all of these plastic desktop toys......... get a Solaris.

[braincell]

Get a fast computer and music software.

[Fluxpod]

The ui is indeed limiting.Nothing a bcr cant fix tho.

DSP based and not super impressive to me. i'm sure that someone will find it to be the greatest thing ever.....

[astroman]

anyone to help me out and tell what this thing can do beyond a Waldorf Synth ?
FX for FX fiddling sake, sounds totally lame (ime) with a nasty undertone that still makes me shudder.

cheers, Tom
