This has me thinking how awesome the EP-132 could be. It could be like a full hardware microTonic drum synth !

And not rechargeable, like the Field stuff?

It requires actual AAA batteries?

thatĀ“s correct

So it has more leg room in the pattern length department, but still the lack of p-locking is a detractor. It does allow freeform automation from what I can tell, but editing options are just re-record and erase. It has what looks like an equivalent to A4ā€™s Performance mode called virtual faders.

Only 64 MB? No sd card slot?

As temporarily sample playback memory okay, but not for sample storage.

Imagine if the +drive of the DT only had 64 MB ā€¦

yeah its really bare bones in comparison to something like model:samples.
Personally that has been pretty freeing and the inclusion of different time signatures really open this device up for making really wonky beats imo.

Generally canā€™t stand TE stuff because theyā€™re too expensive for what they are

But fucking hell 300 for this thing is a definite KO (II)

Portable, built in mic for sampling random stuff around you. It even has speakers ffs lmao

Iā€™m going to guess that they went with a computer-as-storage workflow. You can likely transfer entire projects back and forth. So long as itā€™s rapidā€¦ well, auditioning could be an issue

Ah, so a good companion to the OP-1 then.

In fact, if it can be powered by the OP-1 and then have the same sound engine, thatā€™d mean OP-1 Field drum kit quality in a one shot sequenced sampler.

Now, Iā€™m interested.

I donā€™t know what it is (just read ā€œsampler composerā€) but love the look of it ā€¦

absolutely TE! nailed the SP flavor I was ever since lurking after by far. the Display feedback is outstanding and that platform is highly inspirational though :wink:
