Would you pay $799 for this - infact its even more for us europeans

I’m not a personal fan of this synth. It’s mega hyped by the swedish house mafia video-one and i really don’t think it’s worth that ammount of money. Just my opinion

I think this is cool, not sure though if it’s just a toy or not.
There are two reasons why I won’t but it, one it’s too expensive and two it’s all hype.
But I’m intrigued to hear what it’s capable of
I was thinking of posting this up earlier this morning when I saw they were taking pre-orders but I decided against it because I’m ultimately torn on this little synth.
It looks like a very cool unit with some good functionality. I think a lot of the hype around it is more based on it’s modern, almost Apple-esqu, “total package” design (probably the only reason it was featured in the One video as no sounds were actually used for it). It seems they put a lot of thought into the presentation of it and that helped it survive such a long design phase and keep the hype going.
However, when you hear the sounds they are varied and a few of them are interesting but I don’t find myself saying “I could seriously use this in a production because of that sound.” Granted I’ve never played with one but I’ve watched a lot of the videos and I’d still be very hesitant to drop $799 on this unit.
I also doubt a try before I buy opportunity will ever arise for me so as cool as it looks I will probably altogether pass. Besides, that puts me $799 closer to a real analog synth! :w00t:
I honestly think it looks like a casio - and would not consider buying it for even half the price 
accelerometers… WTF
If I buy this will find myself doing a handstand on my desk waving it anticlockwise around my arse trying to replicate a sound I made yesterday.
Come on… Take out the accelerometers and knock off a couple of 100 bucks and I could be interested.

I think it was kinda based on the casio vl tone
