MAP is $899. It's a fantastic synth, and in many ways may be the highest-polyphony, best-sounding, most flexible analog modeling synth ever made - but at that price it's absolutely not intended to be "premium hardware." Instead, it's intended to be relatively affordable while sounding amazing - the phrase would be "punches above its weight."For me, while it's an interesting synth, it's about perceived value. i.e. It doesn't come across as premium hardware.Just curious - overpriced compared to what?
Where did you get the idea that it's not processor-intensive? It's a quad-core ARM dedicated to synths and effects. My impression is that some in the synth community may overestimate both the cost and the processing power of the DSPs and ASICs commonly used in digital synths. In comparison, the CM4 is both significantly more expensive and significantly more powerful.It's lacking aftertouch and seemly requires little processing power.
