As a child of the 80s and 90s and LSDJer, this little box makes me so happy.

I have one! Despite never really using lsdj or other trackers before getting it, it's probably my favorite music device, close followup by the organelle

Do you compose music direcly with it or just enter data of already composed track?

If I understand correctly, interface is very similar to LSDJ. So for long melody few 16-step patterns should be "chained". Does not it feel cumbersome?

Yeah as a composition tool it's amazing. You grow muscle memory with it really quickly. Also, it had midi in, so if you prefer to noodle on a keyboard, you can

Soon!! I’m in the next batch so should get delivery sometime in Aug/Sep if all goes well with the latest PCBs

I’ve watched all of the discord meetup vids, red means recording, avrilcadabra, allmyfriendsaresy ths, etc

Super pumped to get my hands on it, looks so slick and that FM synth sounds proper naughty!

You got any tunes that you made on it to share?

Edit: oh and what are those keycaps? They’re not the ones that come with it right?

They're from mech boards. Will dig out the order in a bit. I managed to break one of the original ones within about two days. Not a quality problem, sausage finger problem

Haha! They do look really cool though!

Oh man I want one of these little dudes so bad. They look like so much fun to use.

When it has USB-C I will get one. I've used LSDJ for a loooooong time.

There's a thread on the discord about that actually. I'm not sure it's likely soon tbh

M8 User reporting in!! I'm in the Discord as well. I suck at it though but still love it.

I wish, it's hard to get over here.
