Simple yet effective! I like it.
Why no built-in mic?
Cool for experimental un-synced ambient type music
But I fail to see how you could make anything beyond that without difficulty
Even the demos shown with drums and bass are completely all over the place
€325 seems a bit much
I really like C&G’s style and fun approach to the exploratory art of creation. Organelle S is an outstanding product. Unfortunately, this 5 Moons is outclassed by some of the PD abstractions that are hosted on its sister product! For the ask, I could be more than half way to another Organelle S, which would be superior.
This looks really fun!
*notices only mono in- and output*
Well nevermind then, I’ll keep on saving for a 1010music blueblox
it needs to be able to pitch everything down!
