I guarantee that once people start to use synths like Nina with this technology, they will not want to go back to knobs that just stay in a static position when you switch between presets. It's not a gimmick. It's a totally logical evolution for digitally-controlled instruments.

But the budget synths then will beed cheaper motors. Thus it can (potentially) lead to worse quality of motors in such synths or (in a better perspective) cheaper general production of motors while the orders will become much more massive in quantity. P.S. Also don't forget that each motor weighs pretty much! Liteweighted synths will not be using this.

Was impressed by the design and bought it for the sound when they were cheaper pre release. Sold a polyevolver 8 voice for it and I’m not disappointed. It sounds better to me. I’m not worried about the motors when I heard they were contactless drone motors. Should outlive any encoders+leds and it’s way nicer. One of the Best synth to come out of recent times. The price is on par with a prophet 10 or trigon and the sound and quality is in that league.

The knobs alone with the magnetic detents honestly feel like such a step forward! I imagine it's one of the main reasons driving the price up, which is frankly quite inaccessible, but I'm still so happy someone went and tried to innovate in this domain *while still creating a good synth on its own merits*.

People think it’s expensive because of the motorised panel, while it is actually more like a 12 voice Pro3 with a simpler filter section (and less advanced sequencer). It sounds great and it is a lovely thing to use, and pretty stable even with the initial software.

Drone motors don't really require maintenance, they're magnetic.

I'm a bit more sad about the choice of USB-C port, I'd rather have a USB-B for stability. But I did buy a 180-degree usb-C adapter for my Nina which anchors it quite nicely.

I just ordered one and will commit to a one year later review. After owning many properly treated synths, I'm really not worried. The developers of the instrument are highly invested (as am I, obviously). In general, I believe that mass produced motors are designed for a much higher level of wear and tear than a synth will give them. Like in cars, airplanes, etc. Let ya know in a year.

This is NOT a gimmick, every one of the other synth makers should be implementing this into their synths. Having a detent for zero with endless encoders is invaluable, also having one knob where the detent can switch to smooth depending on the parameter control is so versatile. Not having to hope you got a parameter as close to the preset position after switching, priceless. True morphing between 2 patches has great potential for live performances. I am truly interested in this one!

Twice the price tag with features removed to make way for motorised pots, standard sonic features swapped out for a motorised knob? no thanks. yes everyone would love motorised controls with memory, we had them on our high end mixing desks back in the 90's but it never caught on for good reasons, mainly the price. As musician and producer I would never swap sonic options for mere convenience (at a hugely inflated price)

At first look the moto-knobs seem like a gimmick, but as you revealed how the control knobs are actually endless encoders with very high resolution and mag detent haptics, the value of physically tracking their relative orientation across modes expands considerably. I would think, however, that LED ring encoders are more practical and cost effective. As always, your comprehensive pros and cons comparisons clarify the value of this specialty "boutique" design in relation to other options.

Kind of expensive but the features and layout look like it would be a super programmable friendly synth. 12 voice analog with friendliness of a Nord Lead 2 or 3. Very nice and compelling sounds and features. I love the motorized knobs and that does make for easy deconstruction of presets and features/fx also. Can’t say I’ll be getting it, but if I didn’t already have a Virus Ti, Ti2, Nord Lead 2X, and Waldorf Blofeld, I’d seriously consider it. Tough choice between this and a Deckard’s Dream, Kijimi, or ISE-NIN from Black Corporation

So cool to see this finally getting into some hands! The UI design using motor resistance for center or end of parameters on the knobs is rad. Makes me wonder about long term maintenance and such tho Post full watch digestion: impressive feature set, but I have to wonder what direction the firmware will go. The digital fx are limited rn but it's built off raspberry pi/elk audio, so I imagine firmware updates or user mods will be excellent. I still don't feel totally sold on the raw sound of the thing tho, which is.. pretty big for something of this price point.

yea.. endless encoder with a value display will probably live longer than motorized knobs

Hopefully, they did a failure mode analysis of those motors

I'm no pro on this topic, but I would imagine the motors used here are similar to something like the stepper motors (stm) in some camera lenses, where they are used for both manual and electrical focusing. I've never seen one of those break so far. That being said they are probably still more prone to fail one day than any encoder like knobs. Let's talk again in five to ten years from now :D

Cmon guys, you all know we don’t actually use the synths, we just watch hours of videos analyzing them until we buy them and never actually touch them after the first day we have them. I’m sure all 5 people who fall into the category of actually using gear AND being able to afford it will be just fine.

Woah..modulation shown on the motorized knobs would have been incredible. Good ideas for improving this machine Ziv.

I want one!. And it would be absolutely amazing if you could use all those knobs to control softsynths or a DAW, particularly my favorite, Bitwig.

I've had one of these for about 9 months. It's amazing, if you have the time. I highly recommend for professionals. Casual hobbyists might feel out of their depth and just use the presets. The presets are good, don't get me wrong. But the power of this thing is really not having to take photos of your settings that you had in a jam one day and use it a month later. It's totally doable, but you have to read the manual. And it's got a pretty high price tag. Still not done paying for it.

Great job on the review, as always. The thing sounds great, but not better than much cheaper devices like the Hydras, Sequentials, etc. In fact I'd love to see a head to head with the DeepMind12 (at less than 1/3 the price). These knob tweaks have been automated with mods on machines for years. Seems like most of the price is about the knobs. Well and the availability, of course. If I could justify two mortgage payments on a box that makes sounds, I'd totally buy it. But until there is more competition, it'll be outta my price range until I get promoted to a job that I don't want. Thanks so much for the video review! Top notch.

127 patches per bank. And 127 banks? So, 16,127 patch slots in total? That’s insane, if so. I love that. And how many factory presets is it shipping with?

The motorized knobs make the UI very good. It reminds me of the Hydrasynth in that someone who cares about usability clearly made this. Certainly an interesting synth but I think it would be far more competitive in the $2k range
