    I wanted one of these but never thought it was worth hour much they charged. I guess that's how most people felt.

      It was priced very high, even for a boutique musical instrument. There are a lot of samplers on the market on (or even under) that price point and some simple ones that cost a fraction of it.

        But 700 euros almost gets you a microfreak and an sp404.

          I already have both of those, a Bastl Microgranny, Polyend Tracker, and Polyend Play. So I really don't need another sampler. But it does look fun and has a unique workflow.

          That's the competition I was talking about: SP-404, (used) OctaTrack, MPC live or sample, EP-133 KO 2. All cost about the same or less and do a heck of a lot more.
