Did anyone see these vids from a few years ago about firmware v2?
They are what sold me on it. Really nicely explained.

Right. Fuck the BSP :lol:

Spent most of the day with it. Hate it.

Find it very restrictive. Compared it with a k.board sequence in Ableton, an Arpeggiator in Ableton & the m4l mono sequencer. Preferred them all over the BSP. Haven't tried the Rytm yet, but it's really not worth keeping it.

Sometimes you have to kiss the same frog a few times just to make sure. Pity. Looked great, just not for me.

My hw step seq fascination is now over.

I honestly haven't gone near the D1 seq. Yeah, the ARP is good.. but I was hoping for a bit more flexibility from the BSP. I did crack the BSP in the end.. got something I was happy with, but Jesus Christ, it was.a long time coming. Life is too short.

Reckon I'll be doing more Arping.

Sometimes you have to be honest. I waited to try out some bstock from Thomann rather than pick one up a wee bit cheaper 2nd hand. Didn't want to be saddled with it if it didn't meet my expectations.

I tried. That's all that matters 😅

30 day return & refund ftw

Very sensible. No point hanging on if you don't vibe with it.

I think for me, it kinda reminds me of my Electribe ER1 in the way I'd jam with it so it's probably a bit of nostalgia trip too!
