I'm kinda amazed there is not more chat about this... Everyone's banging on about new Behringer knock offs or the "new" Roland Tr8s...
Not that I wouldn't fancy those either but...
This is the first new synth I've had instant GAS for in ages.. And I have no idea what it sounds like ... or the spec... Or anything really...
It just looks badass!
I love my NYX so if it sounds anything like that or the abyss plus a great sequencer then it's bound to be cool... No?
Anyway can't wait to find out more about it.

I suppose so.think you answered your own question..

Although, vague teasers and lack of info on a new synth has never stopped rampant speculation or an outpouring of GASsing on here in the past...
I just think it looks an interesting new design is all. Hopefully not have to wait too much longer for some better info.

If this is the same price as the Manther, it's gonna be tough. But the involvement of Polyend makes me think this is gonna cost more like a grand.
64 pads seems a bit overkill. I assume there's a step sequencer on board and all parameters can be automated per step and over MIDI. It would need a proper screen and that little rectangle in the middle looks damn small.
