About 600UKP, or ~$1000.
Worth every penny.
I do love the new form factor -- I saw pictures of the old one, and thought that it
looked unwieldy. I think that they spun a bunch of stuff into an FPGA and so were
able to save a bunch of space.
It is certainly the coolest looking thing in my studio. Last night, I had it
controlling my '420 filters (2x16 step sequencers dealing with the two filters via
an Expressionist), and the other two sequencers that it has dealing with a Waldorf
Q that I have (that was feeding the filters). Then had that whole mess going
through my Eventide DSP-4000 on a gnarly reverb/phaser patch.
sleep? why bother?
Can I take this moment to ask for a '303 filter MOTM module? You ∗can't∗ tell me
that it would be hard or parts intensive, and I just looooove the sound that that
distortion makes, and I can't quite get the sound with the '420.
