I've definitely been lusting after one of these the past few days! Have you gotten one yourself realitybytez? Any thoughts?

 

i can only dream about buying one. my budget just doesn't stretch that far.

 

At 24.99 Euros I'll take two! Behringer can't possibly compete.

 

Has Arturia ever made software versions of their own gear?

 

if only . . . i might be able to swing that.

 

Nick finally reviewed it:

 

The keyboard (XYZ pad + ribbon) is cool, I would like to see it as a separate midi controller.
The synth engine itself... not interesting to my ears and too expensive for covid times (imo)...

 

I agree. Love the capabilities and trappings but the core sound doesn't appeal to me, kind of organ-like.
I'll stick with my 8 voice KingKorg.

 

I have a Matrixbrute and I will admit if I create a great sound it's more due to luck than skill. It is not an easy synth that rewards you instantly. Would I want a polyphonic version? Not a chance.

 

I cannot find one on their site, they have made their own soft-synths that are not modeled on someone else's product. I do believe that the only ROMPLER they have is a Mellotron. Just couldn't model it I guess.

 

Hey! I've got one too. And like this guy I don't find it an easy synth to use.
