It looks like all the drum Volcas (beats/kick, sample, drum) and an NTS-1 (I’m guessing that VPN is similar and hopefully can have custom user patches, and the FX) crammed into one box and supercharged with an Elektron like sequencer…and I’m totally not hating it. I enjoy the design of the front panel layout, and those wood grain side panels look hot. It’ll go nicely with the Monologue I have and the Minilogue XD I plan to get
