Definitely interested! I need an FM synth, but there's no perfect synth out there for me. Some too large, some too expensive, some too vintage, some not so nice sounding.

[Críoch]

For the price, it'll be worth investigating.

If it has the motion record on it like tye others it'll be pretty tasty!

I want one now. Fuck off dx200.

Read that it's 6op. 3 voice.

Damn, korg want all the money i dont even have yet? fuck!

This thing looks like a sexy noisemaker

[Críoch]

Hmm.. Very few facts about this. All the noise is about people wanting one.

Ah, hopefully it's real.

[winston]

it looks good, the volcas are only around £100 and they aren't the size of a side-board. i'd get one.

[Revaron]

I very much hope this is real, I'd fork over the money for it right now if I could. I've got a TX81z that I love love love, but its a pain in the ass to hook it up to the computer to program it and using the interface is just a flat out no, so I'd LOVE a hands on FM synth. If I was gonna be picky, I'd like a bit more envelope control than what appears to be available, but at a volca price point, this would rock my world. I'd probably mostly use it for stupid bass anyway, so attack and decay would probably suffice. And motion sequencing appears to be there, hell yes. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be real, so fingers crossed.

More photos. Man, could this be real?!?

Wow, I think this thing is definitely real then! Awesome, I hope some demos come out of NAMM, and I hope they are available soon.

The LCD appears to be displaying a patch name, I wonder how many you'll be able to store? Hopefully there will be combo key presses to access multiple banks of 16...

[winston]

perhaps it will have an accompanying app like the volca sample that can store presets and syncs it all via the sync in.

Yup, this would be ideal. Maybe there would be a more detailed editor as part of it. I won't be able to afford pretty much anything else that's gonna be announced in the next few days, so I'm excited by this!

[Críoch]

It'll surely gave some senseless 'but it can't do this' or 'you need this to be able to do that..' about it..

That'll make it a deal breaker for many.

But if it is real, I'm sure it'll make some awesome noise regardless.

Seen people speculate about it being able to play dx7 patches. So many cool sounds for these FM synths.. Even if you never programmed a thing. I can't wait to find out more.

[Críoch]

Would be cool if you could assign those 'data sliders' (??). Wonder what they are?

[Críoch]

I notice some of the keypad buttons have chorus & unison functions

[Mslwte]

Namm mann! Looks cool. Quonset if there is something else that is larger in the pipeline hmm

[Pelecaras]

Just my fookin' luck!!!! Dropped 300 notes on a DX-200 only 2 fucking weeks ago and now this thing shows up....thanks korg...you bunch of cunts!!!!!

Yeah...looks like the patch name is "Chevybass" I hope the product is so good it doesn't get lampooned....

Fuck me...showing my age with that shitty attempt at humour.....my apologies all subsekters, rest assured that I will go and kill myself right now.

[WOLF!]

Check the first movie. It shows the data slider function.

Don't worry, there's a free seat in hell reserved for you beside Paul Simon & Chevy. Those films weren't funny.. Even then. Even now haha

Have to say, I did think of you when I wrote ' fuck off dx200' or whatever it was
