OP-1 Field vs Deluge vs M8 — Which Groovebox Fits Your Brain?
A holistic comparison of the Synthstrom Deluge, Teenagine Engineering OP-1 Field, and Dirtywave M8 model:02 portable grooveboxes. In this video, I'm not trying to compare technical specs, but focus on how each device serves a different purpose and can be the perfect, or worst, fit depending on who's holding it. Portable grooveboxes are some of my favorite music making tools. For someone who can focus for longer holding a device than touching a screen, portable grooveboxes have been an absolute necessity for advancing my music and synthesis skills. In this video, I'm aiming to fill a gap of comparisons between these three top of the line grooveboxes. While people "in the know" are already aware that these are very different devices, I hope this video proves useful to those who are just getting started out and looking for a device that fits them.
