Nice, see built-in drum machines don't have to be cheesy.

 

[JiveTurkey]

That's cute.

This is pretty great. We should embrace innovation and competition in this market. It makes every product from every company that much better. I music has been supporting this generation with regular updates, consistently improving the HeadRush line. The onboard drum machine with decent samples is a nice touch.

Coming from Kemper to the HR Core, I hear no difference in sound quality as far as raw amp captures (HR superclones -vs - Kemper profiles) during live gigs. I'm happy with my overall tones, the web-based editor and the build quality so far. I'm using a Core with an expression pedal for acoustic, electric and bass gigs with absolutely no issues. The UI is fantastic, too. I mean not Stadium fantastic (@Digital Igloo !) but it's good. If I could afford a Stadium I would switch for sure, but I have two full setups at the price of one Stadium right now.

Really impressed with this update. Great drum machine. Those tones in the video are excellent. Was going to sell my Flex Prime, but will probably hang on to it now.

Prime vs core?

I'm trying to even imagine what "Tidal Integration" could possibly mean (without sitting through one or both of those videos.)

They don't if you have Akai and BFD in your brand portfolio. If any two companies could make a non-cheesy rhythm player, it's InMusic and Roland/BOSS. They also have Moog so it wouldn't surprise me if they got some cool synths one of these days.

Profiling 2.0 or GTFO

Right?

Here's the copy:

TIDAL Integration: Jam with Over 110 Million Tracks
HeadRush users can link their TIDAL Account with DJ Extension Tier and stream music directly to their Prime, Core, or Flex Prime:

• Browse playlists, genres, moods, or your own collection
• Loop tricky sections for focused practice
• Slow down fast passages without affecting pitch
• Transpose songs without changing tempo

I think they are my drum sounds. Well, at least I hit them. They were productized by my friend who still works there, it seems.

You login to Tidal. You download a track. It goes to the backing track practice tool thing. You play along to it. You loop sections. You learn the song.

Should we like this fact or did you get hosed in the situation?

I'm not really arsed. They own all the BFD content anyway. I just made a ton of it.

Good work!

I will say that I had some great ideas for a drum machine in a guitar product. Couldn't get any traction with it. It looks like a cool release.

 

[JCW308]

Prime vs core?

Core for sure. Pair it with a Dunlop DVP3. You still have access to ten scenes, tap tempo, tuner, etc... per patch.

Step 1. Know that Tidal exists.

(Looks awesome.)
