Vongon Replay - Is It Any Good? | Jack's Thoughts!

[@RickyTinez]

“Jack’s Thoughts” ive never clicked a chapter so fast haha. Loved this video, thank you Anderton’s!

[@luucdentoom6955]

Haha, gotta love Jack’s face when he says “micro USB”. 😂

[@maximummovementtheatre]

So, for £900, I can get no keyboard, a panel I can't read and need to buy a PC to do anything interesting. Seems a bargain. Would it fit on my Teenage Engineering desk?

[@Mark_Williams300]

Rest In Power Falcon

[@RDHamel]

I’m calling it. Sales for this are as close to zero as makes no difference. If it was the price of a volca… maybe.

[@pjforde1978]

I just don't understand how people can take a mono channel synth with a passive aggressive-to-hostile UX that costs 50% more than a MiniFreak as anything other than trolling. I love Vongon's pedals, but this thing is why folks say snarky things about Gear KZbin.

[@lucid484]

This is worse than what TE does.

[@digitalduch1111]

Has this something to do with Vogon poetry?

[@giannisozo7928]

900 POUNDS?!!! For that price I want a real key bed.

[@amelophile]

It reminds me of a 'TOY' Keyboard

[@digitalduch1111]

King Size Keybed, please!

[@PhilW222]

I was very surprised when I saw the price, which is 5 or even 10 times what I thought it would sell for.

[@thelevicole]

This synth is great for the instagram.

[@mick3950]

Nice one Jack great to see you ,

[@RubenGugis]

This thing is DOA at £899.

[@ADHDville]

It’s a lovely little work of art, and like most works of art, I’m overjoyed to look at it, appreciate it, but I DO NOT wanna own it!

[@sesa2984]

This thing is an overlay-makers dream.

[@isitreallyisitreally1756]

Great demo as ever from Jack , nearly a thousand pounds for this ? so much more out there from Novation , Hydrasynth , new Micro Korg on way , this looks like a cheap toy , £200 and maybe its worth a punt for the arpeggio , but someone somewhere is having laugh

[@user-rv8wb1nl1b]

Hipsters crap MiniKorg ?

[@PC0067]

Lol je mets pas un seul de mes francs dans une boîte avec un clavier pareil. Je préfère pas de clavier du tout. Et les constructeurs nous affligent toujours avec ça. C'est quand même incroyable !

[@the_JTowny]

Looks like a portable NHS hearing test module from the 70s. It sounds like a charity shop Yamaha organ on its last legs.

[@g3cd]

Is that thing available in different color schemes other than white on whi... err... ivory? I'm an old dude and while I have the money to afford toys like that and I love what Vongon does - like the Polyphrase pedal - I can't read stuff like burgundy on black in bad light conditions.

[@alexgrunde6682]

Yeah the awkwardness of playing in any flat/sharp heavy key makes this a no-go for me.

[@Dorachagi1]

Quick slight correction, it's Mark Johnston, not Matt Johnston, he has a great music gear channel.

[@InnerVisions68]

Matt Johnson is the keyboard player for Jamiroquai. He demos keyboards on KZbin

[@Dorachagi1]

@@InnerVisions68 true, but he doesn't have a video on the Vongon Replay, Mark Johnston does.

[@BeepsAndBeats]

Looks like an unfinished synth, not sure why they thought people would like this look

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

Yeah, this one's a big NO for me. 900 pounds for a device with one of the worst UI's ever, a micro USB (what were they thinking?), invisible control labels, tiny, nonstandard keyboard, and the sound...really nothing to write home about. I'm sure it will appeal to the Teenage Engineering demographic who love paying ridiculous prices for tiny overpriced bits of gear just because "cool", but not for me, thanks.

[@DullPine]

Mate, the amount of things the OP-1 (teenage engineering) can do is insane - I bought mine many years ago for about $800 and it was worth every penny, I still use it a lot for my music. Though I agree, today their stuff is sometimes stupidly overpriced.

[@lucid484]

I'd pay $40 for that.

[@eimaistoyoutub]

I thought for a moment that Jack was in bad Gear

[@pablowentscobar]

It sounds great, but not $900 great.

[@suga4all]

It's 900 GBP, so more like 1200$. Even more ridiculous! 😂

[@halcyo]

That is one hipster ass synth. Sounds fine, but at anything more than $500 it almost makes no objective sense to buy this thing. Subjectively, some people chasing clout and free ones given to artists will be seen on social media reels.

[@MaybeAnnatar]

It's a cool piece of kit! I wouldn't pay that much money for it personally, but it is cool! It's not mass market being produced with the same volume as say the Hydrasynth which is undeniably better bang for the buck, but I suspect the people willing to buy this are doing so because they find the aesthetic and interface inspiring. I didn't need to buy a Juno-X when I have a Hydra, but I find that interface REMARKABLY inspiring to play so for me it's worth the premium price.

[@RikTheMix]

A triumph of design over useability. Urine has been extracted.

[@buckkylem]

I’m into it… save for the micro usb 🤢

[@Jpetersson]

Horrible color, I wanna retro-bright it! 😀

[@johnsaunders6510]

Hipster synth.

[@kafkawilde4604]

Sounds horrible

[@JayKaufman]

There's nothing controversial about this thing. It's an absolute pisstake. Every sound I've heard out of it is a minor variation of the previous one - and that's over multiple people reviewing it.

[@cordellsounds]

Overpriced, unexciting, nothing innovative that i saw/heard, looks like a toy, horrible looking keyboard to play, micro usb, can you even save patches? Who is this even for?

[@mrd5024]

Hipster plastic waste

[@cordellsounds]

He said it's a metal enclosure.... Still looks like overpriced garbage to me though.
