Akai has that all in one groove box.
The force is freaking amazing! It’s basically ableton push but standalone

I love what Iv seen and heard so far, however I’m hesitant about the hypsesynth!


Every single video only covers presets.

Yet in many Akai interviews they mention how it’s a mix of synthesis all in one

A FM,additive, subtractive,wavetable rompler


Yet nobody seems to have any videos showing how to make a sound from scratch


My worry is that it’s a preset machine that doesn’t let you dive too deep


As along as I have wavetables and FM I’ll be able to do what I want.

Also, I have a hydrasynth so that will be paired up when teaching/performing/jamming


The idea is to have a computerless setup. But also still have all the same power as something like reason. Sound design=life so I don’t want to invest about a thousand dollars for something that won’t let me dive deep into sound design lol

The quality Akai hardware is a very mixed bag these days...

Nothing like the sold-as-a-tank quality from the 80s and early 90s.
