Hi,
This synth ROCKS! Really easy to use. Great sound. Great presets. And battery operated box of joy! I am buying all new synths from you guys blindly!
However I have few pointers for you guys!
Software issues:
1. No scale change during playback. When melody plays and I press scale and up or down - nothing happens. This should change scale of whole melody (playback) live. That is kind of important during live sessions.
2. Tempo tap - I am missing this a lot. Please add it somehow under some other button.
3. Presets - Scrolling live with button over presets is tedious. Please add shortcuts for presets to 16 white buttons. Say, hold preset button and then press 1 to 16 for quick user presets. That would be fantastic during live sessions.
4. Presets Knob - I would gladly sacrifice volume knob for preset picker. Maybe with some button combination. Like - press ALT and then move volume knob to pick preset (instead of pushing data buttons). Just an idea. I can live without it.
Physical issues:
1. On/Off button seems to have no dent. Its m,ore like a fader, at least on my unit. It is quite tricky to power it on form batteries in middle position. I am afraid to accidentaly loss middle position while playing live and using batteries.
2. Pots could be i little thinner. It works for me just OK but people with sausage fingers will have a hard time.
3. MIDI in and out should be same size as audio, 3,5mm not 2,5mm. But I guess this is your standard. All my other gear has either 5DIN or 3,5mm jack connections. 2,5 mm it's first for me. I know there is 5DIN adapter cable included but for example Circuit has only 3,5mm MIDI connections. Small thing but weird for me to use different standards.
4. CV outputs would be nice.
5. Battery cover is very flimsy and will break quickly. I've seen this happening on other devices with same design. That was a sacrifice I guess.
Wishlist:
1. Bluetooth connectivity would be a killer on this device!
Overall I have to say I am really impressed with this device. Is portable and light. Sounds great. Works great. It is great!
Kudos to development teams on both sides!
