A gray world of dread

Ok, I admit the filter sounds really, really awesome. But $100 for a simple OSC with LFO the size of a matchbox? I'll pass, thanks.

I was  given the Gakken for free.
Its usability or that of this Korg toy is negligible.

wtf does a kaoss pad have anything to with anything?  lol

i think he means WHOOP DEE its JUST a LPF, at the end of the day that SHEEEEKEEEEWWWWing gets old and we want something different (retrigger,delay,phase,flange,distortion,ANYTHING) so in that id just build a filterbox(or just use my kaoss pad tongue)as opposed to waiting  5+ weeks for japans mystery mail to arrive and then however long it takes mouse to equally get off their ass

and yea yea its the same style filter as the credible MS-20, but you can just as easily build a LPF from scratch that is equally as analog and equally as warm/soothing/nurturing/loving big_smile

If they had slapped a midi i/o on this I would definitely have agreed with the price tag but I just can't get away from how similar it seems to the Gakken - gotta side with Akira on this one. It seems like they saw how popular the Gakken was among musician-hackers and the like and decided they could jump on board. If the price actually drops to around $60 bucks I guess I would consider it but even with an MS-20 filter it seems like it's got about 5 minutes worth of use in it - like the Gakken.

Scratch that, I still play with my Gakken but only when extroardinarily inebriated and nothing worthwhile is ever produced.

i would consider this for around $60. it looks much more interesting then the gakken in my opinion. i can see myself fiddling with this.

FM/AM/bluetooth transmitter?
not a lot of tweaking to be done when it's inside a box, though. some type of airtight bag would be better.
