Do you prefer Logitech instead of Creative ?

Monotron and Volca were his early ones, unless he was also on the earlier Monotribe too?
I don’t think Korg knew how to embrace an aesthetic so basic but effective. All the devices they pump out, is clear they want max dollars for e-waste instead of Tatsuya’s goal of value and performance per component.

I’m excited to try this out or see more iterations like a 2-4 octave electric piano harp or something. Let’s get the hands involved touching strings and plates, with some of these knobs and functions too. I’m for the design plan, curious to see what comes of it.

I suspect someone said the same about Tats and the Monotron.

Not only is he on payroll for all those years, but he also got a team and office to fool around while receiving wages.

I’d have to agree i was hoping for more development on the sound department, this would definitely benefit from a step triggable FX processor or at least some FX to get going sonically. But Tats began developing his later analog innovations with the humble Monotron and Monotribe. Perhaps this could be a similar beginning now that the core tech has been developed, but only time will tell if this method will become even remotely as fruitful as Tats’ analog endeavours.

We get it, you ain’t creative.

This seems like it’s essentially a robo-xylophone, where the strikes are electronically controlled, not an instrument that does true acoustic synthesis.

It’s interesting to see music robots become a mainstream thing, but I’m more interested in what people are doing on the acoustic synthesis side. Paul Vo is probably the main pioneer on that with the Vo Guitar. A more recent example would be the String Armonica.

Ya, I have to agree. Hopefully they can take all this research to a more interesting place for their next product.
