If you've never heard of bardcore it's well worth a google

I don't need this. I didn't need this.

I'll get it when we upgrade Spitfire this year.


I don't need it either. Also, take my filthy lucre, you beasts.

Really like the website design. Unique, but not at a sacrifice of usability

I liked it too, but didn't like that I couldn't zoom out to view more, i found that frustrating

I can't even think of a good reason not to allow that, it's all static images and text.

This seems to be the same as the EP-133 K.O. II with a difference:

- 128MB memory including 96MB ROM sounds and 32MB user sample memory on the Medieval

vs

- 64 MB memory, or 999 sample slots on the K.O. II.


This is so wacky I thought it was like an old April Fool's Day joke page by them

That's sorta become Teenage's brand these days. I can't decide about how I feel about it but I'm defaulting to digging it.

Was hoping it would just be a cute lil $10 or so VST/AU plugin, but still love the concept

Is this limited edition?

I can’t take this company seriously after all the R1 nonsense. I get that no product is perfect in its first version but it sure feels malicious how they fooled everyone with what they promised vs what they delivered.

Fwiw Teenage Engineering is a design firm who was originally contracted by Rabbit to design the physical device. I don't think they had anything to do with the functionality.

That’s a good point, I guess they didn’t have any hand in the software…just seems icky to me.

I trusted the product mainly because of their name, it’s hard for me to understand how they didn’t see what the underlying product was when they attached their name to it.


Gizmondo was designed by Sir Clive Sinclair. First rule of a Producers-like scheme is to have the thing designed by a famous designer.
