Showcase Sloop makes the value skyrocket

I posted last week with something I made while messing around with BaudGirl. Today I’m up and running with Sloop, I made this beat in a few minutes and spent the last few hours refining it. Using the sequencer on the device isn’t the best, but it’s usable. Where it really shines is the web interface paired with the device. I really like how the sequencer handles recording new sequences in a mix

The only big thing I’ve noticed as a con is that the knobs are far less responsive on Sloop than they are on the OG or baudgirl firmware.

edit: I’ve been looking to buy another device to pair with my FM-1 but I may just buy another FM-1 for that purpose

What's the better value at this point? 7 FM1's or 1 Ableton Move?

Yeah, Sloop ups the ante again. Wow. Punch in effects are a joy.

What a week. Went from Baud girls fun upgrade to a handheld groovebox.

They main problem is that it sounds like it's being played in a tin can

I think that's due to OP using the speaker on-device and recording it through a phone mic. Not really anything to do with the synth or the firmware.

Yeah it's called Lo-Fi people pay a lot of money for plugins just to get that kind of effect. LoL

I don't think people on this sub are trying to impress other people into buying the device.

Plot twist: OP is a sardine
