The Hardware Megathread

Who uses the ‘Roland-Verselab’ here? What do you use it primarily for?

I know it’s kind of an all in one function to go dawless but I have a ton of hardware synths, drum machines, semi-modular, etc., and it is the only piece of gear I haven’t found a way to relate to. Thinking it may just become another sampler function for me but wanted input from other fellows using it

the 8pre has 8 inputs vs the 16 of the 16Rig. It doesn’t have outputs on the front. It doesn’t have a 3.5mm input on the front. It doesn’t have USB ports. These are all important for me and why it’s on my radar.

I don’t really need 8 mic pres, and while you’re probably right about the converters that isn’t really something I’m worried about in 2023.

That KAOSS Replay looks great, the only thing that was nagging me during the review is why didnt Korg give it a sequencer

#6624

I bought this M8 quite a while ago, its just the last week or so I’ve started getting my head around it as its nowhere near as instant as the polyend tracker, but my god what a brilliant little machine.
here’s a little sketch.

Just bought this to sit in my resampling chain… crimbo period GAS satisfied :stuck_out_tongue:

#6626

I don’t even care about the no sequencer, this would be fun as hell on the fx loop of my DJ mixer.

edit: oh fuck that, 1,000 USD lol I don’t want it that bad

#6627

No way in hell would I drop a grand on that Frankenstein piece of kit.

#6628

In fact, I’d pay 899 for this long before I gave Korg a grand for their thing….

#6629

You have some substantial pieces of hardware in your kit guys.

#6630

you are not alone, that’s a very common complaint. Seems bizarre.

well now I am 100% anti-Decksaver. My Push, Maschine+, Launchpad X, and probably Livid DS-1 if I can find it, all have marks/scratches on their sides, and even the top…

Oh, the irony.

In other news, I sold that Push and bought an APC64 to celebrate getting a silly deal for a Live 11 upgrade.

It will not be getting a Decksaver once available :upside_down_face:

As much as they charge, they should update their product with paper-thin strips of foam where it touches gear… :woman_shrugging:t2:

So anyway, and actually unrelated, I do happen to have a sewing machine that was recently given to me, so I guess I better get to work making my own covers :upside_down_face: (so it’s now more related)

Shockingly only $300 and not $3000

Not buying one even if it’s tempting… though tbh if I was in the market for a SP-404 this would be more on my radar

#6633

I ordered an ERAE Touch with a european adapter. They charged $51 to ship it, oof. The site said the US adapter one was out of stock and wouldn’t let me order -_- I was big mad until I went “silly bitch it’s a DC barrel adapter” lol…

Imagine telling people something is out of stock over a power adapter lol. It’s 12V 2A, I’ll find one during the “1-2 weeks” it says it’ll take to ship…

Edit Having buyer’s remorse already lol. And I found a $30 guitar to MIDI plugin for expressive MIDI playing…

#6634

This on looks really cool, I wonder if it works as good as It looks.
