looks interesting!
I agree audio input would have been nice.
Lets see if there is a nice & flawless midi implementation towards pyramid and hermod, then i’m in

The price is nice
Very super hopeful that it can handle 2x stereo setup with stereo effects and ganged controls. Would be an insta-buy for me.
Only has one mix output, so stereo seems unlikely.
16 bit, 44100hz… Blechhhh
They definitely had my attention with the multisample thing. I immediately started thinking we could finally get a decent quality sampled piano voice in the rack in a reasonable width. But their description ONLY describes it as for drum kits, which has me wondering… Why? Surely they realized the potential that multisampling implies for ROMpler-esque functionality. (I mean seriously, this may sound like heresy, but I’d love a rompler module for layered poly pads, with envelope inputs and maybe a uO_C type of screen.)
But I would reaaallly want something higher quality than 16bit 44100khz. This is 2020 after all. I haven’t listened to a music CD in at least a decade at this point, and anyone who says they can’t hear the difference between 16bit 44100 and 24 bit 96k is… Well… lucky I guess, in an ignorance is bliss kinda way.
I think they are thinking beyond drum kits, as they mention streaming longer audio.
44.1/16 , yeah was a little surprised about that, often on embedded devices this would be to conserve memory - but if streaming not so much a requirement- I’d guess it’s down to limited bandwidth and taking multiple sample layers per 4 track. ?!
I expected to see more details on the layering side as that does appear to be the things that’s most interesting for this ?!
Edit; just noticed the manual is online
The “multi-layers behaviour” isn’t really “layering”, it’s more like “wave sequencing”. Layering options are cycle or random, this refers to the order in which samples will be played.
Yeah, I noticed that when reading the manual too.
However, I suspect it comes from the idea of velocity layers of samples - which given their midi mapping seems to be perhaps the initial idea they had in mind.
so, it’s a modular module.
hope for a standalone/desktop version at some point.
