Just got mine. Loving it.
So Roland gave us 11 oscillators, a sequencer, polyphony, modulation matrix etc for a price lower than Drumlogue! I know it's not a drum machine but anyway
Powerful for sure! I hope you get your hands on one to demo.
Nailed it 👍. Drumlogue should be the number one on bad gear episodes
@@spectralknights2 luckily Korg dropped price almost in half now
Great review
Thx for your video, can you please tell the actual exact weight of this unit ? Sometimes this spec is not well reported on Roland's spec sheet.
I love this unit, with microcosm and Fable it’s an unstoppable synth! The internal FX are really great as well!
It's a beast, and so much fun!
I thought aux in was routed straight thru to outputs, no fx or other processing?
The Filter, Amp and LFO are global or per part? I want to buy one but I'm curious about that.
IKEA batteries last forever it’s feels super good , thx for the walkthru
Thanks for the heads up re Ikea batteries. I figured they would crap out pretty quickly!
I struggle on the same thing like 38:00 :) turning off pattern not intuitive, few extra buttons would help. Wonder if mussel memory develops over time.
Frequent use will help!
@@midichlorian73 few days now, getting fluent almost.
So no song mode or pattern chain ?
Use an external sequencer
@@a.d.5649 was looking for a all in one groovebox especially cause it takes batteries
@@SonicVibe gotcha well I have a MC-707 and that has essentially the same synth engine but is a groove box. It only has 3 oscillators, but I still love it .
@@a.d.5649 that’s seems like one of the best fully fleshed out groove boxes but surprisingly there aren’t many that capable
I’m going to get this anyway hopefully they will make a better save state and pattern chain song mode
I think it sounded very acustic. But maybe because of reverb effect. Anyway it sounds good.💪
I can see Roland making a bigger version of this with more voices and multi-output support.
Better yet,make it chainable, that’s just a firmware update! I’d buy another one in a heartbeat! As far as multiport, that’s possible with a mult and a variety of cables. I never understood why Roland, Korg or even third party doesn’t make a stand alone unit to do that! Not everyone has Eurorack!
Nobody starts from A
Twice the battery life of the Push 3. 😂
Im really trying to like this product but tbh, I find the sound uninspiring. Also Roland have been a little bit disingenuous / cryptic when stating the units maximum polyphony/voice count.
If you have a three Osc Synth, holding down a single note on most units will qualify as one voice… but not with this. Each Oscillator is considered to be voice so if you use the 4 Osc Machine and hold down a 3 note chord, that’s 12 voices gone.
Roland can keep it.
Yeah that would only leave 48 voices lol
@@SonicVibe people are running out of polyphony really quickly. That’s ridiculous with only 4 tracks of synth + rhythm track. At the end of the day, the poly count Roland advertise is disingenuous at best.
@@e-conrecords4665 there wording is 60 voices (varies according to the sound generator load)
If Roland decides to put this in a well made keyboard (for once) I would definitely check it out. Zero interest in this the way it is.
I can see that sentiment being shared by many. You could always look at it as module of sorts and use a controller with it!
I bought it because it doesn't have a keyboard... I have other controllers, better keybeds, and sequencers
@@CraigCrouse +1
@@CraigCrouse Totally. Really powerful as a standalone module!
@@midichlorian73 I'm using it with a Torso T-1, perfect set up
You pronounce arpeggio incorrectly. There is no word "page" in arpeggio.
4 mins in and I was cringing and realizing this hipster looking YT trophy showing uppity was tripping over himself, it was too painful to watch, I will have to mention this when choose " don't recommend channel", gross misconduct are the words I'm looking for.
Sadly …these new sound great in sixty second machines .., are simply the pathway to AI taking over music .
Wtf are you talking about? Where is the AI?
60 seconds?
