  1. In all the demos I've heard of it so far it is hard to hear the effect of people pushing all the controls (i.e. 'performing' it). All that comes out is bad beat mixing and filter sweeps. Just listen to this awful demo 'Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep' (or see?) ??? through the whole thing. It's a lot of talk about all the wonderful things it can do, but the demo doesn't present them. All I hear is some FX on a loop. Whoop dee la de da.

    I am looking forward to a more impressive demo so I can better understand its performance characteristics. Things haven't been the same since Daniel Hansson.

    This guy who is demoing it says he hasn't even read the manual and it's his third day with the device. I hope to see better.

    I am astonished he says 'it's amazing', 'it'll be like the 303 in 30 years', 'it's remarkable' with that bad loop just repeating with no variation.

  2. You know, I was trying not to be negative while watching the clip, but you've really done a great job of describing my exact thoughts. I'm also hoping to see some better demos. I must say even the stuff on the official site hasn't excited me too much.
