Not something I’d expected to see on BoingBoing, but nice all the same…
I’ve been noodling with bleepy boxes like these for a year or so now, my current favourite being the holiday present I bought myself - a Synthstrom Deluge…
It’s a beautiful box, all RGB pads - a bit esoteric in use, a lot of the functionality is hidden behind shortcuts and menus, but the synth engine, arranger and sample engine are great, and the isometric “keyboard” is a joy to use, even without velocity or pressure on the pads.
Akai do make good hardware though, I expect those pads to be lovely, and that screen is massive.
The GAS is real yo.
