Here's what I have in my setup at the moment. Want to have that, too? Please use the followings links and support me:

MPC One, Novation PEAK, Reface DX, Source Audio Collider, Strymon Iridium, Zoom MS 70 CDR, Donner N-25, Akai EWI USB, Zoom R20, Zoom H5, Yamaha MT7, Roland Aira:

Some bands / artists I've been following for a long time are (among others) Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Pet Shop Boys, Archive, A-Ha, Yes, Porcupine Tree, John Mellencamp, Jean-Michel Jarre, Metallica, Peter Gabriel and Perturbator. So my music will kind of sound like those (without ever reaching the greatness of those artists, of course). :-)

I’ve owned a Qun mk2 for a little over a year… it’s a deep little machine. Not for the faint of heart. Learning curve is 9000

[SonicVibe]

Love the sound out of this device the dev is constantly updating the device. Learning curve is steep but rewarding love the artist faceplate they have on the website for the top plate feel like I will never outgrow this device in a good way

What happy coincidence, I ordered a qun mk2 that should be arriving tomorrow and I'm super excited.

So glad to see this tutorial. My Qun MK2 has been collecting dust after I barely scratched the surface, but I would love to get back to it.

I keep dreaming of a life where I could squeeze in a jam on something like this between the horror of reality. I think this is the closest device to make me want to have a "car synth".

[The-word-I-does-not-exist]

A great tutorial and a great device, I look forward to more videos featuring it from you, subbed!

[Kpez]

The maker is on top of features and updates. Very involved in the discord/community

[xgmode]

Love mine, great to see you do a intro on this awesome device. Cheers!

[markbonn]

Excellent, I still have my little MU15 from the time, I thought about it recently when I came across it again, took it out and plugged it into my Pyramid, good video!

[typistmusic]

I’ve got one of these and have only scratched the surface of its capabilities. Frequent firmware updates too. Awesome device for its size and price!

[Fabian_drop]

I absolutely love my qun mk2. Ive had it for long enough to be able to do what i want quickly. I programmed my most used midi ccs to a beatstep and it works a treat. So many features packed into a tiny device (even has a scratch/turntable feature). Firmware updates every few days. A "10 out of 10" device.👍

this is my chilhood dream, a time when I could take my music in my pocket This groovebox is welcomed ❤❤❤❤

[dyscotopia]

I have one of these. It's very compact and unique. It takes a while to wrap your head around but it has a unique set of capabilities I haven't seen combined into one device before.
The sequencer is very cool as it has polymetric, probability and randomization possibilities. The FM/VA hybrid synth has a Casio CZ-101 kinda feel that goes into pretty gnarly and weird noises rather quickly. There is so much potential in it, but I have too much gear so I haven't hooked it up in a while. I actually have it for sale, but I won't mind much if I have to keep it... It is very cool even if some of it's most unique features don't gel perfectly with my workflow.
It's actually the first new piece of hardware I bought in years before more immediate knob per function boxes took its place

[JohnAnderson]

Welcome to the party Floyd. You do have good taste.

Good work on the menu for it's tiny screen...

Thank you for putting this out there; I'd seen it some time ago but it had fallen off my radar. It's interesting (to me) that it's been demonstrated by many now that building the core instrument can be done with fairly inexpensive hardware and still achieve same amazing results: this little groove box, the Woovebox, the Microdexed Touch and even the Minidexed, TE PO devices, and more. In the end it all comes down to how you can get something out of it in a repeatable, straightforward way (the UI). There have been some amazing user interface ideas out there - I think Woovebox is an interesting one for example, especially compared to what Roland or Korg has done with 7-segment LED displays :) I'd be curious as to your thoughts on the subject of user interfaces on these devices - perhaps it would be an interesting YT video at some point...

[ChappIOMusic]

Are you still planning on getting a 3D printer? A case for this thing would be a cool first project.

[DetroitMicroSound]

I need to grab the latest update, and play around with mine. It's been a while. It really is an incredible little machine, capable of some rather amazing stuff.

[AppliedCryogenics]

I'm very curious what hardware this thing is packing. I know there's a ton of MCU's and I2S DAC's that could do the job, but I always appreciate another data point.

[Benane]

how nice is the mu15 show more of this device.
