It's appears the line will be three units...vocoder(maybe VocoderMan could give his input?), a drum machine, and a synth.

It somehow started to looking expensive. I was counting on some cheap toy-like things.
Casio CZ-1, Elektronika EM-25, Yamaha TX81Z, Roland JV-2080, Novation KS-rack, Korg Poly 800, Casio SK-1, Casio SK-8, Vermona E-piano, Akai S2000, Roland SP 404, Roland TR 505, Yamaha MR 10, Yamaha RX 5 and more

The more they tease, the more they lose my interest. Give us some damn information already!

It's not a vocoder. It's an update of the boss voice transformer. Limited and gimmicky

I counted four in that last video; the drum machine, a synth with keys, the vox box and a tabletop baseline thing with touch pads in a one octave keyboard layout.

Hum, I would say that we might be talking about 4 units actually.

The VT-3 voice transformer unit that we have already seen.
The TR drum machine
A TB-303 MC202 type of table top sequenced synth
An inexpensive polyphonic synth keyboard to replace the gaia. (The gaia is quite old now).

Anybody has a better take on this ?
Minimoog Voyager, Pulse 2, MS-20 Mini, Bass Station 2, Virus TI,DSI Mek, DSI Prophet 08, Nord Modular G2, x0xb0x, MB-6582, Sammich FM, Shruthi XT, Juno 106, S90ES, TX81Z, DM10X e-drums, Rocktron Banshee, Dr-110 and too many VSTs.

I haven't seen anything to give the impression of a separate 303/202 type thing.

Yep, I blinked and missed the poly looking thing.

I know it's not that important but does that green put anyone else off as much as it does me? :shock:

The whole thing is pretty garish, even the red/orange lighting. It's not as painful to look at as blue LEDs were when everybody was using them for everything, but it's still pretty unnecessary, and I expect it would get pretty irritating in use, at least when used in a dark environment...
