Yet it's still more affordable than building most of the other modular systems out there. And they start out cheaper than the Monologue you bought (well, at least the sequencer alone does)
all modules are based on standard modular specifications with ±12 volt and solid 3.5 mm jacks for patching (wohoo! no mini wiring!) which makes it fully compatible with other pro gear. finally, all boards fits in a eurorack
Yeah cheaper than I was expecting from them. You have to keep in mind this is the same company that sells the OP-1 at a premium price of $999 (bumped up from $899). And sells the little silicone cases for their Pocket Operators for $30 each (and the plain one for $40, because why not? lol). So all that said, these prices actually look good and pretty comparative to Korg and others I would think. I'm also saying that without knowing specs or hearing them in action, but they look cool!EnochLight wrote: ↑18 Jan 2019Yet it's still more affordable than building most of the other modular systems out there.

I think TE has knocked it out of the park with this - assuming they sound incredible (which I've no reason to doubt that judging from their current product lines). This might be what it takes to finally get me into actual hardware modular, especially if I can sync my current Pocket Operators with it.

Pro tip: using red fonts makes it almost impossible to read your posts on the Reasontalk dark theme.O1B wrote: ↑18 Jan 2019Don't get me wrong. Im a TE, supporter. PO 33 here, and a few others.
But $500 + $150 + $340..... at $990, that's...
a Minibrute 2s for $550 (BH Photo), plus a Rack Brute 3U ($299), plus a $140 module of choice (Make Noise Function)
The monologue is a one piece monster for $300. Batteries can stay IN [READ the TE fine print about that ]

Great thing about all these offerings from the manufacturers I mentioned releasing new modular gadgets, is they can be run with batteries. That is most fun for me; being able to be mobile and jam with it anywhere. That adds a lot of value IMO.
When I start thinking about having to be tethered to power and very likely to my little studio setup, then I'm wanting more in the features than what those non-battery powered synths currently offer.
Yeah, there's certainly a compromise to be made by staying in the "100% battery optional" realm. Still, it's exciting times we live in!
You tell me:
Worse. I suggest to simply use bold font to mark the important words.O1B wrote: ↑18 Jan 2019How's BLUEEnochLight wrote: ↑18 Jan 2019Pro tip: using red fonts makes it almost impossible to read your posts on the Reasontalk dark theme.![]()

Bwahahaha!
That's pretty bad ass. That said, it just makes me want to buy Complex-1 instead (since my trial ran out).
Give me a complex-1 in a portable Pi3* 12bitDAC device with touchscreen and 8-16 cv connections, or no touchscreen, I'd get that for 399 bucks, no brainer for me.EnochLight wrote: ↑06 Mar 2019That's pretty bad ass. That said, it just makes me want to buy Complex-1 instead (since my trial ran out).
What about just increasing font size or using the old fashioned method and CAPITALIZING important words and using lots of these!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
