Pladask is located in Norway, which is not part of the EU, and hence the GPSR regulations impose a bigger hurdle for them than for companies within the EU.

I’m assuming the entire collection will be available Fall 25. Will keep an eye out for Caveman.

strange to me because I didn’t heard from any other EU boutique company, having issue selling to other EU countries.

They were aquired by Chase Bliss.

Dragging in a MacBook vs. coffee machine comparison only shows how clueless you are, thanks for proving my point. The reason my “rambling” goes over your head is because you don’t actually understand the tech you’re trying to argue about. Stick to pressing buttons on a moka pot, champ.

And yes, reading spec sheets on products that literally are computers is essential if you want to make smart purchases instead of throwing money away on planned obsolescence. But sure, keep telling yourself you’re the authority on musicianship while confusing basic hardware with kitchen appliances.

For 600 it is a great price.

I’d just get a MK3. This whole “portability” argument got old pretty quick and it’s not that much more of a footprint to just bring your laptop. Given NIs status I wouldn’t count on any new Maschine software, btw. Their updates to existing hardware is slow AF and lackluster with an uncertain future. The bean counters have gutted this company down to the bone and now it’s sample backs and a few MIDI keyboards only. Sad.

Bouncing is not of the hardware restrictions but a common use in any sampler. There are artists who even use it as a tool to “move on” so they stop doctoring around with their sounds forever, never finishing anything, like all these Eurorack crackpots.

So you find the price to steep and the rest of your comment is about a totally different product, rambling something about chips and components. Believe it or not, my 2500,- Macbook Pro still does not replace my coffee machine with a way less powerful chip or the other way around. Reading spec sheets instead of features tells me a lot about, if someone is an actual musician or not, to be honest.
