Randomization is great when you're able to tweak it afterwards.

Is there an undo button or something?
Should be enough with a 100 million limit undo's.

Is that when they make it so the button doesn’t need pressing and instead changes sound every 15 minutes?

I think people always miss the point of randomization VS determination in music, especially hardware developers. Spend a slight amount more money on a software front end for this thing that allows patch saving, and you have both ideas secured for likely a fraction more.

I do get the concept of randomization, especially in live performance setups. So much of electronic music is studio work, and if everything is determined it leads to electronic music in general being less vital and immediate in live performance settings, I mean it's why DJs pretty much make more than electronic musicians, might as well hear a selection of perfectly recorded songs VS a couple guys tweaking a filter to a backing track.

I could see using this as part of a live setup, but the lack of preset saving and inability to tweak a sound after are not ideal things.

You have to hit the button in reverse to undo.

You have to hit it 4,199,999,999 more times to get back to that sound.

it looks quite good, 150eu for a mad desktop executive toy.
it's a bit like randomizing Green Oak Crystal VST or something similar.

Hmmmm... So most drawbar organs can do many many more different sounds....

Yes but you have to move them yourself. So lame!

If only Moog marketed their Moog One fan noise like this.

I foresee a tediousness level of lamitude, not to mention potential 'carpal-tunnel' complications will occur with this device, in that the more crappy the 'new' sound sounds, the more the button will be pushed, only to generate another crappy sound... ad nauseam.

Then, with no "undo", the compounding frustration of wishing you hadn't pushed the button again, when something sounds cool, or at least pretty ok, but you pushed the button inadvertently, out of habit.
