I found it really funny. It's obviously probably useless for actual medieval music[0] but I think it can find it's users in bardcore or dungeon synth circles.

You can definitely recreate this just by collecting appropriate VSTs and sample libraries, even probably by just loading some "medieval samples" to some groovebox.

But if I got this second hand on cheap price I would definitely make some fun with it even if it has somewhat cryptic labels.

This is true for basically all electronic music hardware available today and in the past. I guess what we really pay for when buying these type of hardware is what's missing rather than what's included, and the constraints that helps you focus on actual music making.


Lets just take a moment to give thanks for the technology that has made "dungeon synth" possible.


Yeah, it was all 90s ROMplers and soundfounts. I can definitely record some dungeon synth bangers with my Kawai K1 (which is basically ROMpler, just samples are single cycle waveforms) and it sounds just right.
