Very cool. I certainly hope they have an upgrade like this for the Nava down the line.
Yocto 2 was inspired by the improvements to Nava after the original Yocto. e.g.; the screen, and sequencer.
Great. Would be even more awesome if it could co-exist with Cocteau (2) expansion board for tweakable sounds beyond traditional 808.
Cheers
If you look closely at the PCB picture, you can see many unpopulated pots and switches, I believe these are mods already integrated ine the Yocto 2.
All we need is a 808 with a 909 kick!
i’d prefer a 909 with an 808 kick tho
Agreed. The only sound i like out of the 808 is the kick. 909 sounds i love, plenty of sonic room to play with and transform them. I feel 808 sounds tend to get messy fast (and i am so sick of hearing that 808 hat everywhere, quit beat repeating and compose a damn drum part)
