i get wanting a synth to take here n there, use it while on trains and in hotels, even on the beach if you're one of them :scared:
but you're not doing a f**king gig ffs, how much gear do you need for a picnic?
It does seem like a weird feature set. I can see needing more inputs for field recording, but then, who the f**k wants 1/8" stereo inputs for that? Also, who mixes their stuff in the field.

I can also see wanting something really small for small desks. So if you're living in a van. As much as I don't think that tablets replace physical controls, I think that they do in this context. A modular environment on an iPad will get the job done more effectively.
Field recording without a mike input!

If it had a built in high quality mike and could record to say a microSD it would start to make more sense. The minute you have to have it umbilical corded to a iPad or something it looses all the size advantages.

That's when you know that it's overpriced.

Even those of us who bought things like the OP-1 and were called hipsters back in the day have trouble with this one!
They say that admitting it is the first step to recovery. Hipster recovery. You made a brave step today...tomorrow you might be able to consider cutting off the man-bun...the day after discover that socks with sandals was never a good idea. :hihi:

Well, in his defense, it doesn't take much hipster blood to be more hipster than that, no?

ive never drank hipster blood, but i see your point.
he just shocked me, it's never really come up before, despite many social interactions where music was being played! he dresses very fashionably, goes out to the pub or to the football, very blokey.
and then this.

So 1/2 bloke, 1/2 metrosexual then? You know what triggers this right? Karaoke!

I really dislike Karaoke. I like to sit stone-faced when the good singers who fancy themselves undiscovered stars finish and clap wildly and make a fuss for the mediocre to terrible singers.

Keeping this on-topic, maybe this is a mixer for Karaoke practice in the car?
