on a somewhat unrelated, but same topic..
so spending ridiculous money on controllers and softsynths..
i was looking at the maschine.. but then i thought, in 4-5 years time. i am sure the software will be stopped being supported, then what do i have.. a box with no use.and then i was thinking about the OP-1 by teenage engineering..
slick piece of kit, except i runs on a battery.. and batteries fail.
and from what i have researched, there isnt any indication of a replaceable battery any time soon.. so are they seriously making it like a ipod/ipad where after a few years, its dead..fuck that.
synths should work.. and then keep working.
my sh101 is from 1983.. and sure, it runs on batteries.. REPLACEABLE FUCKING BATTERIES..
its 30 years old.
i highly doubt that a Maschine or a OP-1 for that matter, will be anything by ewaste landfill in 30 years time..
