Says it's a smaller version of the Tanzbär with 4-7 instruments. Wonder how much cheaper this little mouse is going to come in at.

Jamie munro · 7th August 2015

Two machines are due out later this year, well when I say due out I expect they'll be announced, doubt they will be ready to buy for some time as they are clearly swamped right now.

Guesses from the teaser picture:

Instruments:
BD - LFO, Attack, decay, Pitch, Noise Decay, Noise, Tune
SD - Noise Decay, Noise, Tune
Rim

I can only say, I will buy it instantly, for the name alone!

j0hnny 🎙️ · 7th August 2015

Seems 909-ish from the parameters. Maybe the replacement for the 503

tsutek · 7th August 2015

A 503 replacement? BOUGHT. Been looking for a 503 for some time now for my purist-4WD-fix

If they come out with a nano version they could call it "Tanzlaus" or "Tanzfloh".

Nick Shepherd · 7th August 2015

awesome

if this thing complements the 522 character wise i will get one for sure.

the name is really sweet, thats for sure

Actually the smaller version will be called "Tanzbiene" (bee). At least there was a mention on their fb page.
To explain, in this context both "Maus" and "Biene" are cute names for "girl".

But it would only do a version of "U Can't Touch This".

It'd be nice if they'd get a decent distributor in the States. The Tanzbar looks like fun but no one sells it over here.

nah that's their typical plastic box panel
but they could make something modular easily enough out of it

Although if they called it the "Tanzlol" even more people would buy it for the name.

Tanzlos would be a weird thing for experimental ambient music without a beat.

Interesting extra parameter options in the tanzmaus... The samples would suggest that's the 909-esque 503 replacement.

owenD202 · 19th August 2015

oh man if theyre going for xbase09 turf with some updated/improved sounds or functions and keep the price somewhat low, I will keep an eye on this!
wonder if the sequencer will have a midi track for other gear? that's cool stuff on the tr909 and xbase09

tripbeat · 19th August 2015

chassis will be metal case, very stabil and solid looking. more info when we have the the prototypes .. in around three weeks.
the tanzbär still offer more instruments and cv/gate/sync stuff.
for musicians dont need the functions the smaller ones are perfect deals.
sequencer is improved and very tight, midi control out and in is provided.
sounds are like tanzbär, 522 and 503 but bit different. kick of the tanzmaus is very variable.

that sounds AWESOME
the tanzbar is way too much for me in $$ and functions

zawinul · 19th August 2015

What's the difference between the 2 units?

For those of us who already own a Tanzbar, will the Maus give us anything new or would it be redundant?
