Isn’t what as “good” as it could’ve been.
The queue was 45 minute long and it was jam packed inside.
It was the first one so there were bound to be problems.
They basically misjudged the amount of interest here in London.
They are already learning from this one and planning ahead for next year.-

Sounds like it was more popular than they expected, did you get to try and of the gear? Glad I didn’t go in that case, sounds like they need a bigger venue in future!

I did get to try some of guitar pedals but not many.
The two that stood out for me where Two Notes and Rainger FX.
Two notes had a guitar preamp with 64bit internal mixing with over sampling,
proprietary custom chips and their own reverb algorithms.
My guitar, an Epiphone WildKat, sounded super sweet through it.
Rainger FX had some rather quirky pedals on display including one they call
a “Minibar”, which needs liquid to work.
High conductive liquids create low gain, low conductive liquids create high gain
and one can change the tone by the amount or light it receives via a photo…Read More

Glad I didn’t go. From what I’ve heard there were a lot of people that just left the queue and went home disappointed.

True.
Many people did leave disappointed and to a certain degree
so was I but I was actually glad that I stuck it through.
Let’s see what happens next year.

It looks like fun, but seems far too expensive for what it is so I wouldn’t back it myself.

How much will it be? I don’t see any info on price.

Anyone thinking about getting the new Roland SH-4d? It looks pretty good, better than the MC-707 is some ways (more immediate, more direct access to parameters, less menus).

I’ve been eyeing this one to replace (or supplement?) my JD-Xi. I really like the SH-101 and Juno-106 models in videos I’ve seen. There’s plenty of effects, a more powerful sequencer than the Xi, it runs on batteries, and sound editing is a LOT more accessible. As for replacing the MC-707 with it, the SH-4d is marketed as a multitimbral synth rather than a groovebox and it doesn’t have pattern chain or song mode, so that’s something to consider. It also doesn’t have any ability to load user samples and the PCM waveforms are limited. But, limitations aside, it looks like a great…Read More

While I think it’s a shame they didn’t add any song capabilities or chaining, I think as a multitimbral synth it looks and sounds amazing. I’m really tempted to buy one but might wait until it’s available to the public to get some user feedback. For example I noticed that not one of the demo videos showed it changing from one pattern to another. They all stopped the sequencer before choosing another pattern. I’d like to hear how in performs in this regard, e.g. does the release and effects tails get cut off when changing patterns. Also, how well does it respond to program changes from…Read More

The shimmer reverb sounds great! Do you think the mini keys will be too small for Bella to be able to play though? 🐱
