Hey y’all,
I received my Erae II yesterday. I received an email from UPS a day or two prior saying to expect a package from Shenzhen China. I had ordered my unit on Black Friday, and wasn’t expecting to receive it for a few more weeks. But here it is!
The packaging is beautiful. The unit itself is heavy, metal, and feels super sturdy! But the real pleasure is the surface itself. I was expecting the surface to feel something like a large drum pad… I have a Tempest drum machine and was expecting it to feel like that. To be clear, the drum skin does feel a bit like this. But the touch skin is almost like a gel with a high quality bed sheet covering it! It feels so nice!
I got home from work late last night and am watching my kid this morning, so I haven’t had a chance to use it or even plug it in yet. But I just wanted to share my initial perspective. I am very impressed with the construction of this unit… it feels durable and elegant. I have some free time over the weekend so hopefully I can use it for a little while and report on its function.
Looking forward to more folks receiving theirs in the coming days and hearing your thoughts and music creations.
Michael
