I always thought the SH-01A was the most authentic boutique and it looks like this has the same ACB technology. Sounds great from the audio demos.

Sounds great. I watched the Loopop review last night. I’d be tempted if I didn’t already have a SH-4d. Some features in this appear to be “lifted” from the SH-4d… such as the probability/ratchet in the sequencer and the “draw” waveform.

Looks like the sonic state video got pulled (for now) so I’ve replaced the link with the official Ableton video for you.

Polyend have released the Tracker Mini. Looks cute. No pads or jog wheel, but has more sample RAM and bigger CPU, and can handle stereo samples. I’m interested but it’s $700 (same price as the desktop version) which honestly seems a bit pricey to me.

I have the regular Tracker, which is great, although I don’t use it much. I’d consider the handheld version but the button layout looks awkward. I think I’ll wait and see some user feedback. I agree it’s also rather expensive for what it is.

I’m definitely picking this up. Will pair nicely with the T-8. More info on their website
