New MPE synths...

[invisible_touch]

Modal Electronics: 001, 002, 008, Argon8, Cobalt8, and Skulpt are all there on the Hardware MPE page.

Argon 8M works very well and makes a great combo with Linnstrument.

And the brand-new SKULPTsynth SE from Modal does as well. I think I will sell my original SKULPT and get one of these instead; performance specs are very similar, but the layout is much much easier to read and understand.

New iOS synth Cube Synth Pro (https://apps.apple.com/app/id1560948972) supports MPE

[Roger_Linn]

I've just added Cube Synth Pro to the Recommended Sounds page, under the "iPad OS MPE" tab in the list of MPE synths.

An new kid from Cherry Audio is PS-20... I had to buy it at that no brainer price...

An affordable MPE controller would be nice.

Few things worth having come cheap.

seabord block + 2 lightpad M blocks. cheap yes, but worth it, and they work excellent.
seabord block for almost a second hand price, new (there was a window a year ago... of a batch of blocks..). lightpad M blocks, almost unused, second hand.

it can be done. it gives me what i want. and more..

I'm not saying it can't be done. However, Roli Blocks are consumer-grade gadgets at best. The LinnStrument, on the other hand, is designed to serve as a robust and dignified instrument for working professionals; and the difference, quite frankly, is staggering. To that end, if you want one of Roli's serious instruments (i.e. one of the bigger Seaboards), you're going to have to pay a premium for it just the same.

I personally don't know any career players who are using Roli Blocks onstage; certainly not as their main instrument anyway. This is the LinnStrument forum, after all. Hence the sentiment of my original comment.

Cheers!

not saying you don't have a point, but to speak up for my block, it seems as solid as the day I got it and just keeps plugging along and is heavy and as robust feeling as my Seaboard RISE 49. Maybe even more solid. And its the first model. I also had a Linnstrument and loved it. Equally solid I thought.

My wife just asked me what I was reading. I told her I’m reading a conversation between WasteLand, John the Savage and Killmaster.

[killmaster]

Haha! Great!

The sound like two characters in a B rated dystopian novel: "Wasteland, in a world gone mad, two men fight for the woman they love."
