Ace! Great to see. Remember you riding this on that Phoenix Easter ride in the pissing rain (when I punctured twice and someone had removed the signs).

Madness this from Thomann. Apparently you can literally play through and demo a load of fx pedals that they’ve wired up to the net.

The X looks awesome, definitely a proper MPC.
I agree about the computer. I can do longer form “composing” sort of stuff on it but I don’t enjoy making electronic music on it. I opened Logic up last night to have a play with the new live looping stuff and got fucked off with drop down menus or something and just shut it down. I don’t vibe with it.
I’m sure I could invest some time in learning it and setting it up to be easier to work with but I lack the motivation.

1010 make a lot of eurorack modules, I think the Blackbox is basically a stand-alone version of one of their euro modules with the CV/gate I/O replaced with buttons, hence the form factor.
The number of stereo outs for the size is pretty awesome.

The most recent wave of MPCs are a bit DAW-in-a-box, eg fiddly touchscreen and so on. I think most people don’t see the point vs a laptop. Having said that the MPC One seems to have landed quite well. Looks like it would be awesome with more I/O.

One issue I’ve had with a real MN is that the bezel on the Squale has a very heavy 60-click action and the stretchiness means it twists on the wrist when I try to use it.

Yeah, it’s clearly biting its style, dunno how they compare. Screen looks a limitation vs the Cirklon.
-
I’ve been on the list for a Cirklon for nearly two years... when I joined, the estimated wait was one year. They’ve had a lot of disruption with their manufacturing.

I’ve not seen a solid bar version.
I’d love to try on a two-tone Sea-Dweller. Or a yellow gold Day-Date 36.
