I agree. Post a link. It’s 16 pads per preset, 16 sequences per preset, 16 songs per preset.
Each pad can have a sample up to 4GB size for a total of 64GB capacity per preset. Samples can be either sample, clip, or slicer and if sample is chosen for that particular pad, up to 4 note polyphony. That’s 4 note polyphony each pad x16 pads.
If clip mode is chosen for the particular pad, it’s 2 note polyphony for that clip or 2 note polyphony for the slice per pad if slice mode is chosen for that particular pad - Again x16 for the preset. So if a preset had 16 pads with sample chosen per pad, it can play up to 64 note polyphony for combined pads at 4 note polyphony each. Each sequence can have up to 128 steps and steps can have a resolution up to 64th notes.
No info on 4 pulses per quarter note anywhere.
If slice is chosen for the pad it can have up to 128 slices - only two slices on that particular pad can be played simultaneously but if all 16 pads were set to slice, then the preset is capable of 32 note polyphony (2 note per slice pad x16). The same for clips. If clip mode is chosen for all 16 pads in the preset, then up to 32 note clip polyphony per preset.
The only limitation I see to the sequencer is that only notes and velocity information can be sequenced. No parameter sequencing yet. No p-locks like Elektron machines or Deluge or Spectralis. It has stereo input for sampling anything connected to input, 3 stereo outs or 6 mono outs, built in fx, a USB midi host input for powering usb midi keyboards or pad controllers.
This streams directly from SD card with max 512GB SD card size.
Gonna laugh at a $600 machine that does all that but talk about servers with 256GB RAM. If only one 4 core CPU and 256GB filled RAM slots you are talking about a $4000 machine unless you bargain basement shop everything which doesn’t sound too pro to me. Have you ever heard a server start up that is equipped with 256GB RAM and needs to keep internals all cool? They have at least 6 fans, more likely 8 fans and it sounds like an airplane starting up until full bootup done and fans throttle back but are still noisy as hell. Whatever company puts that out has now cutoff all consumers that are DAWless solo artists playing live, all bedroom solo producers, and anyone else that just wants to have a portable groovebox sampler they can take anywhere on batteries. You have limited the market to pro studios only.
Keep laughing at Blackbox while they sell product as fast as they can get it. Watch the loopop video on the breakdown for all this info.
