If I had $2000 to spend on something portable for music making, I'd 1000% get an iPad Pro, some nice headphones, and all the apps/plugins I'd need. Which I already do own all those.

It is essentially a nice to have, rather than a necessity. I'd argue that if you truly wish to pursue music, you will find a way to do it without having to spend a dime let alone $2000. The lack of options is a prerequisite for resourcefulness.

Bought one when it came out, because it filled all my gripes from the first one. Ended up returning it although I loved it because i couldn’t justify all that money. Already had an M8 tracker for all my portable needs. But I came up on a new one at 1000$ and I just couldn’t pass it. Now i can enjoy it without feeling guilty. But the sound engine is way better and you can make quality shit on it now. Also the added bonuses you mentioned: usb c, ipad connectivity, bluetooth midi, etc make it worth.

i'm glad you're honest about this. you say you like it, even though its way too overpriced for what it can do. though I have to disagree with "build quality" from teenage engineering. I am hearing lots of noise on their field recorder tp-7 falling apart on everyone. that thing is 1500 dollars/euros

I will say as a person who makes youtube videos about gear I disclose if I get a deal or if something is free so that people understand that is part of my bias when talking about the gear. It's harder to be "objective" if you are getting discounts or free stuff and I never want to mislead people

Are you for real, $2K? You can buy a goddamn MacBook Pro M1/M2 for these money and with that you’ll be able to anything creating: write, make music, videos, code, design, 3D modeling - absolutely anything. What does this thing do, makes some noises? Ridiculously insane pricing.

I can afford it but it’s still not worth it. The production gear you can buy for $2k is what settles the argument as far as I’m concerned. The fashion clothing analogy you gave is perfect. You don’t have to take it to H&M, you can just compare Hugo Boss to Hermes. Boss is still expensive but it’s way cheaper than Hermes, and it’s easily just as good quality.

I wonder who would be willing to review Neuralink musical interfaces. Not sure I'd be one of the first, though if it worked well and with no infections from surgery or computer virus based brain takeovers, I might check it out. But I'd end up with the discounted version that involves having to think about commercials alot, rather than the monthly subscription plan version for probably about $49.95.

I can use 2000 and buy like 2 refurb laptops with same specs as macbook pro, interface+controller, a guitar and mic, bags, and all the stuff that comes with it, and still have money leftover for DAW+bullshit VSTs and if i dont have money left I will absolutely TORRENT the software. I just do not understand any reason to overpay for TE products, and most cases Apple products. Apple crams 2500pixels into a 13 inch screen. Who is this for, Bee corneas? The keyboard key layout such as op1 are so glaringly designed by non-pianists. The point of the black keys is to extend far enough down for leverage. The fact they are dots is a joke. "but its pretty!" when I look at it, it looks like carpal tunnel. I think poor ergonomics is UGLY. Lifelong injuries are not pretty nor fun. No way you are using that thing as ergonomically as piano. Give it 20 minutes before your back is hunched, and fingers fatigue. Eyes squinting... You can buy a used Mercedes or Cadillac for 2k off Co-part or even an Old guy. It just, to me, screams "product for Non-musicians, by non-musicians." And the "Top artists" that use these things, often get them as a tongue in cheek silly practice tool. There really is no justification to price ~120 buttons/potentiometers, an LED, cheap speaker, some audio ports in plastic/metal case for that price. Can get a top of the line Monster PC with WAY more compute power & buttons, much bigger screen. I will go as far as to say you can get that $50 hoodie for much cheaper as well.

Answer: No. :) For $2000 You can buy a Mac Studio with 64 GB (!) ram, 1TB SSD, M1 CPU, which can do _infinitely_ more than this premium hipster toy for the _same_ price. The forced 50s style "tape" recording (meaning you can only edit / dub into few minutes audio files) is a cruel, bizarre trolling joke played on the hipsters by evil, hysterically laughing psychopathic product managers at TE while counting the money and running around screaming. Even your PHONE can do more and there are literally thousands of synths for IOS, from Moog, Korg, Ableton, and tons of other companies, even complete DAWs. And it's always in your pocket. You can add midi keyboards. a $30 IOS software can do BETTER than this. I'm not even upset about the price. I'd buy it without a blink, if it would make sense. But this is one of the dumbest device on the market. Great looking? Absolutely. Sexy, fantastic design. But the device itself is painful to use and incredible underwhelming for the money, especially if you compare with anything else in this price range (supercomputer-class desktop computers and/or smartphones in your pocket which can run 100x better software since 10y+ at least: NanoStudio, Ableton Note, Moog Animoog, etc.).
