I didn't plan on buying a drum machine either, basically because they're asking silly money for the vintage ones, and well.. i can get most of the sounds i need from the equipment i already have.
But with the advent of the Volca's, the threshold on buying these things is really low, and for what they cost they provide a lot of excellent features such as midi synchronisation, good tweakability and the seem to sound really good too. I've been eyeing some of the MFB drumboxes for a while, but now i think i'll go for the Volca Beats instead, and probably the other 2 too eventually.
Honestly i don't think there's anything like them in this price range.. try to find you a 3 osc all analogue bass synth with a really cool filter, a knob per function, midi, sequencer etc for under 200 euro's. I think you'll have a hard time.
No there isnt, but then you cant really compare this to any "real" 3osc synth
About the new MFB Tanzbaer, it seems it really has more features then meet the eye or than I had expected, and all pretty accessible through a really good and simple interface, I was quite surprised
Technically, I think it's at least the same or a better price ratio than the Korgs if you think about it, which is surprising for a boutique company
and lets not forget this Korg stuff was presented in a pretty smart way again
with images that would let you anticipate more then there really is
They did the same with the Mono"tribe" which in peoples imagination was
all 3 boxes combined plus some, when it really was just a one way gimmick
I mean these 3 boxes are less then what in peoples wild dreams the Monotribe was, and these boxes will face the same fate: collecting dust, then sold or thrown away
