If that is the case, hopefully it will
not cost less than $575 and include two sets of pitch and gate cv's(of course, being able to run two separate sequences simultaniously) and a sync out. You can get an MFB step64 and Kenton Pro Solo mkII for that price and feature set.

that happens, think it'll be short run like the 1st? i'd way rather it be an XS+ than a reincarnation of the 777.

Not sure why people would get so excited about an overpriced monophonic sequencer that will probably only be able to sequence a single synth

i know i'm in the minority here, but i'd much rather have a 777 than an XS, unless this theoretical XS+ has an inbuilt sequencer.

are you referring to the Mobius? $399 wasn't too bad, considering all it did.

I'm speculating that this new product will be similar to the Mobius but more expensive.

that would be disappointing, then. if FR made a 2-channel, 64 step analog sequencer, i'd absolutely pay a little more for
that.

I'm not so sure you're in the minority here. The XS didn't seem different enough for me to replace or add to my 777.

Hah! Yeah-that 3-Mobius thing was cool. I just had to restructure a bit and decided that it would be better just to keep one to drive my Voyager and use the new Nemo for my Omega and the Blofeld.
I'm working on something with the 777 right now, but I always tend to drift into a certain electro-acid realm with it that I'm trying to expand upon. I'm eyeballing a Rozzbox right now to potentially replace the 777, but I'm having a huge internal battle deciding if that would be a good move or not. I know they're a bit apples and oranges, but finances are an issue and I'm not 100% sure that I'm using the 777 to its proper potential.

I wouldn't do that breitt... you've had the 777 for a long time and who cares if you are using it to its potential... the Rozzbox is cool... but no built in sequencer.
