the problem this dev has created for themselves is that all of their REs are $9 most of the time - i understand the intention was probably benevolent, trying to make RE prices more reasonable and accessible to people without a lot of discretionary income, and that's something i wish more devs would do. the one suggestion i would have is that in the future devs who want to do this make their REs available for a range of prices from the cheapest ($9) to a sort of mid range value (like $39 maybe). i worry that too many people will see this and say to themselves, "no need to purchase this now, as it's sure to be $9 a few months from now".

i'm worried that the eternal sale of all this devs REs for $9 may cause buyers to wrongly perceive them as "bargain bin" REs that are priced lower than most other devs products because they are somehow not as good or worth less. sure, there will be a few wiser people that will test them out and make a judgement independent of the price, but if we know one thing about human psychology it's that we have a very difficult time divorcing our perception of a product's value from its cost, regardless of what our experience with that product tells us about it.

looks like a cool drum machine though with lot's of granular control at your fingertips - i hope it does well and i've just downloaded the trial.

I'm tempted to buy this even at this price, to say thank you for all the super affordable and mostly enjoyable synths of theirs I've bought in the past...

Love their ambience generators. Didn’t buy them in a sale either which is pretty unusual for me these days.

Word. I'm glad I got TSAR-1R with a bundle and my cravings for its big brother suddenly came to an end, because I barely use it. Then there is Tube Tech Classic and me and my wallet are eternally thankful for PTEq-X..

Now for the Knock drum machine, I thinks it's great to have that much control on a single device, especially when you do live stuff. Personally, I'm happy with designing my drums across several devices and arranging them in the sequencer. I guess the advertised 1000 samples alone are worth the price.

Is there any sdk restriction, that dont allow load more than 1 sample per device?
This one looks like a good alternative to ReDrum, but im not sample collector anymore.

Not sure I need this one, but I might check it out at some point.

If he would release another Ambi Generator I'd probably buy it right away though. I like those.

I love this RE. Waited for something like this for ages because it is the first Drum Machine for Reason where you can scan through a decent library of sounds with a controller and dont have to use a mouse (at least in theory, i am in the process of checking how to implement the 1000 increments via endless encoders but should work).

It is a shame that devs don't keep the intro price for the first thirty days of the release. I had sent him a question/feature request, but have not yet heard back. There is a lot I like about this, but I will now wait for the next round of sales.

Honestly, i think this could be the best drum machine in Reason so far. For me it is already because what i need is a goto device with built in sounds where i dont have to click through my sample library and can stay on my remote controller the whole time. But i think most users would want to use their own samples so a sample slot for every channel would make this device really great for all.
I really enjoy having complex envelopes on each drumsound - i underestimated the use of the curve parameters for drumsounds. The grain and pitch shift on channels 1 and 2 are great too. I love it.
If i had one wish though it would be an lfo per channel. There are so many cool parameters where modulation would work wonders.
My current Drum setup consists of Knock plus 8 Step Note recorders controlled by a Livid base - so much fun.

Yeah it was! Now its €9!!
I think the geezer panicked then brought the price down. He should have held his nerve. At €39 it was worth it. Looks like a well thought out and feature rich machine.

Anybody trailing it? Was going to trail...then just bought it for £8 (at that price feel at bit guilty) :oops:

I just tried it and it sounds great after two minutes :). Don’t feel guilty.

I've got them all and I like them. Don't use them that often, but there are a lot of nice, although very wet, sounds to be found within each preset library. The Nature and Urban generators are both a must-buy if you are into ambient soundscapes.

The Nature generator is not on sale, hopefully it will be another day.
That Urban one looks promising, thanks for pointing it out!

Ah, I don't see the prices as I already own all of them, just assumed everything were for sale, which is usually the case with Corbach.
