I see it says non working prototype.... I hope it makes it to production.

from what I understand that is a prototype, possibly non-functioning. so not shipping soon - but it is very real, and coming relatively soon.

more info from NAMM soon, I guess.

Nice.

Wonder what the other one will be then?

They need a mixer in the range.

Thye still make FM hardware synths? Nice. 6 operators is a lot for this tiny toy, but operation might be difficult for that reason.

Also, it looks ugly, I hope it's just bare prototype.

FM synths are supposed to be ugly.

Hardware synths must be eye-candy, that's the essence of them

Digital or analog?

It's not possible to make proper FM synth analog

Yes it is.

(Unless of course by 'proper FM' you mean 'technically not actually FM at all' as per the phase-modulation of the DX7.)

There's a better picture of the spec sheet on Korg UK's Twitter.

It appears that it is compatible with DX-7 SysEx files.

Tats on hand to chat Volca FM
and it's working... not a non-functioning prototype after all.
