ugh, those ARE sweet...

these do look super awesome. any ideas on prices though?

[Dogboy73]

the tap tempo idea is great. cv inputs and internal lfo look useful too. pricetag?

supposed to be released 3-4 weeks from now, no pre-announced price.

Just found this;

£125?! I'm buying one! Would be nice ti have this in a rack verison that could maybe add a few more parameter controls but at that price I think I'll go for it anyway. Sold to me

To be honest I was expecting these kind of prices.... but either way I'm saving for that metasonix drum machine

[Hybrid88]

So nothing new from Digidesign then? I was kinda expecting a new line of interfaces given that the had a worldwide price drop on the Mbox stuff.

So is now still a good time to get a Mbox Pro, I've been after something like that for ages?

Buying those three pedals would be cheaper than that drum machine. $1500 seriously? The things we enjoy huh.

originally I intended to buy all of those pedals. But between that, a mopho keyboard and finishing off my moogerfooger collection, I decided to put all my money into a new drum machine. Well for now anyway. I could be broke by then. Dancing on street corners for money. The traditional source of income for an electronic musician whatever we are.

Edit* plus, it goes with my avatar.

The price drop in aus may have been due to the stronger dollar.

Digi generally announce at AES or the more pro audio oriented shows, rather than NAMM which is more focused on instruments. I've heard a lot of rumours that Digi are going to drop something big this year, it's about time too. I love their software but don't love the hardware (the hardware I can afford anyway).

i'll just buy 'em used!

[scimmiamk]

Now if only EHX would put there I/O on the back of their pedals...

I totally agree on that, I've had to sell my hazarai because of that lateral I/O
I couldn't place it on top of my nord stage without having all the cables disturbing me while I using the NS front panel controllers

Though the delay was cool

Nah, I think I read it somewhere, and mentioned it to a guy in a music shop that sells Digidesign stuff, he seemed to concur that Digi had a price reduction on their interfaces, and the one in the shop was marked down - and stores in Tas almost never mark down if they can help it.

Cool, didn't know when they'd be likely to announce new gear, I guess it's just a waiting game, might be something really good, might not - still Pro Tools 8 looks to be a huge improvement, just need the lower end (ie not 003, but MBox Pro etc) Digi interfaces to catch up.

[Stab Frenzy]

Yeah I quite like 8, have been using it for a few months now and it's a good progression. I'd be keen to upgrade if they put out an interface that was a step up from the 003, something like the Ensemble or Fireface 800 in audio quality would be good. Also would love automatic PDC, that would save a whole lot of stuffing around.
