  2. Ohhh! What does the red button do? :D

    Probably starts the sequencer...but maybe something more fun?

    Anyhow, aside from the font, I like the design of this thing. Reminds me of a Waldorf XT.

  3. Pair this thing with the adrenalinn, you could have a nice hardware set up under $1000. They are going to make alot of money with this.

  4. Ooohh, another DSI box, yeah!

    These guys are on a roll. However, on the surface it doesn't look to be offering anything new as far as synth architecture.

    Can't wait to see what the red button does.

  6. It looks great, great spec, but I'd love one with a keyboard even more!

  7. could it be a "random" button as on the virus?

  8. the Red Button is prolly just a "play a note" button, akin to the Peek function on the microQ. maybe it starts the sequencer though; that's be a bit cooler.

    Maybe it's the button that transforms it into a jetpack.

  9. Gets my vote for most clever synth name, ever.

  10. perhaps the red button is meant to remind one of the red manual trigger button on the Arp 2600?

  11. Man, I wish this, or a similar analog synth (i.e. with midi in), had cv out. I have some electrix gear with cv inputs and I'd like to play around with using cv as a controller before I commit to buying a modular synth.

  12. The Waldorf Pulse Plus does. It works well and it's a great sounding mono synth. Note the Pulse doesn't, just the Plus.

  13. hey for low cost CV outs built-in to a monosynth - get a Novation Bass station rack , midi goes in CV pitch (volt/oct) and CV gate go out ...one sold on eBay a couple of weeks ago for $204 - buy it nows are higher...can't go wrong with that unit, its small too

  15. As seen here:

    http://www.sequencer.de/blog/?p=4190

    the prototype clearly shows the "red" button as a PLAY button.
