i get it and dont get it all at the same time.

[SteveStereo1]

well I believe a good musican can make music with everything...

Finally, someone explains what the heck is the Buddha Machine. Thanks.

I personally find it quite useless and completely eco-unfriendly, but I am able to see why it is appealing to some people.

Since it just came out a second version of it I assume they will continue producing it, and perhaps a future version will have flash memory to be able to take user music files. And perhaps they (FM3) might even release a simple piece of software to make it easier to the consumer to do their own loops.

fuck the eco system i vote Clarkson

@AssortedStuff I'm pretty sure the whole idea behind the FM3 Buddah is its simplicity. If you want to loop, get a jamman or a rc-20.

@AssortedStuff It wouldn't be really interesting if make a loudspeaker mp3 player...

[AssortedStuff]

That is the logic sequence, but then again, this object doesn't make much sense (to me at least).

And I guess the people buying this stuff would mainly be musicians (that's the idea I got from what I've read in several websites) and they definitely don't need a simple piece of software to generate loops.

All in all this little device is an enigma, an apparently useless thing that nevertheless keeps on drawing people to it.

nothing to do with the buddha?

[Mrgyn]

You shall learn.

@cheek actually, if I remember correctly, this thing was modeled after various other devices which do essentially the same thing, only with different Mantras - they were created as a sort of "prayer on the go" gadget for Buddhists who wanted something for a guide while they're alone.

@cheek in fact - watch?v=CRfx3fmbeSc
