Anyways, looks like an incredable instrument, but I would deffinately want sampling. Also for synth power like that I would want a keyboard. I'd love to play with it though.
COZ: "It's already known that Roger Linn will follow the Tempest with a dedicated sampling drum machine, which will probably appease the MPC crew more."
Is this wishfull thinking, or have you actually heard this?
There was another thread on here discussing the whole collaboration between Dave and Roger, and the development of the Boomchick/Linndrum II/Tempest.
Roger made an announcement on his website a while back stating that the 'all singing all dancing' analogue/digital hybrid had become prohibitively expensive to make, and that Dave and Roger's fans were poles apart in their expectations of what the product should be. Hence the Tempest being closer to Dave's vision with custom oscillators and an all analogue signal path, and Roger's forthcoming sample based machine that will follow.
