you lost me there. these things sure look like they have the sound and the interface (minus a few things) that everyone is paying thousands of dollars for. as far as strict 808/909/303 emulation, there's really nothing else out there in this price range. nor has there ever been.

Interface maybe, but I have to play one in person to find out. As I stated earlier, the sounds I am hearing really arent doing it for me.

uhh... the Elektron Machinedrum was released in 2001. the "A-I" and "EFM" machines are pretty interesting. i don't think you're going to see much more of an advanced synthesis drum machine any time soon, just sequence a multi-timbral synth module from something else.

Im thinking more physical models, like dialing in a analog bass drum and blend that with synthesis or sampled modules. Not a big fan of machinedrum sounds ive heard either, but the interface is really great.

serious questions - how the hell is is "throwaway for me with its touchpad" or even "D-beam kind of dumb"? you guys sound just like the rest of the 12-year-olds around here.

It feels gimmicky, but who knows maybe in usage its really intuitive. The d-beam sounded like a really good idea too until you where all waving all dramatically for crappy control.

what do you mean "these kind of synths"? you already brought up the MC-303, so i'm not sure if you're comparing the TR-8/TB-3 to something of that caliber? (MC-303/505/909, RM1X/RS7000, etc...) is that right?

Yea i mean groovebox type workstations, but also the old tr and tb synths of yesteryear, and even the mpc. People like the sounds, but I think the interface plays a big part in how successful a synth is at making a successful instrument.

For one Id love to see modeled drum machine that goes even farther than the tr/sampler/rompler paradigm and get really into physical drum modeling and drum synthesis for a new approach to synthesizer, but with that super assessable x0x interface.

The acidlab is a faithful reproduction of a very specific instrument with an extremely boutique build process that is reflected in the price. Unless they found a way to engage china fab with smd priting i doubt their prices will ever come down.

Jbuonacc- these kind of synths are 60/40 sound design/ui, so based on the demos I think there is nothing wrong with taking a wait and see on this before getting all lathered. DKSTR is one of the more "professional" artists on this forum in terms of what he has done with his music, so I think his opinions carry a little weight to them, but its nothing to be calling people names over.

The bassline synth and the vocal effects demos arent that impressive top me, and the tron looks are pretty cheesy. I know the demos are going after a specific buyer, but the models suffer from the thing that every modeling synth suffers from, in that they sound like a record and not live output from the device. Holding our for some more extra nasty demos once real people have them though.

Nonsense like doge memes are fun, speech that can make other people uncomfortable or insulted is completely different. If you cannot envision a world that may be offended by your choice of words, maybe you should find a different forum that suits your worldview.

manually sync meaning hitting plat at the same time? Yes. Otherwise you cant do sequencer and sync at the same time.
