Who said hardware was dying out?

Is Arturia the first softsynth company to crossover then?

I wonder if the it crackles and pops when you turn the resonance knob, like other clones of this filter do.

looks like it has 3 OSC (Pulse+UltraSaw+Triangle) + SubOsc (Pulse+Sine) + Noise?
Hope it sounds better than it looks.

FYI so does the original.

I figured... I haven't used the original so I wasn't sure. I've had a Livewire Frequensteiner and I built one from a CGS board with some modifications that were supposed to mitigate the crackling... but it still had that annoying sound when I turned the resonance pot.

Specs say VCO, which implies it (if that's the case I'd imagine the filter would be).

Right, i guess you wouldn't be able to dare to bring out a VA with one oscillator for that price anyway.

I think it's the right decision from Arturia after all their emulations.

probably just one vco (maybe curtis ) that draws 3 waveshapes from a single
voice like a roland 101 had

it also says that whatever software companies claimed about being able to emulate it that they somehow failed (and by releasing vco based stuff themselves sort of admitted they failed) to get the tone of a real filter although
i must say that the only company nowadays that does hardware the full discrete way and sounds right is synthesizers.com , macbeth

(from the teaser video). I assume these images are from the vst editor that will come with the hardware?

Well, it's a WIN! The only thing that worries me, how solid it is. The first leak I found was from some Chinese site (http://www.bretown.com/news/asdfasdfsadfasdf.html), suppose it is built there, the knobs look very weak.

Oh please, to suggest a thru-hole resistor somehow 'resists differently' than an SMT resistor is to deny the very fabric of reality itself.

I've had macbeth gear (dual osc and backend filter/vca/envelope combo) and lots of other analog modular gear in my modular (simultaneously no less) and I found the macbeth wasn't worth the space/price (and that I am not a huge fan of 'vintage moog tone', having mostly been raised on music featuring vintage rolands and korgs) - replaced it with a ton of equally quality modules from intellijel (another brilliant manufacturer of modern analog hardware), which sit perfectly alongside modules from malekko/wiard, makenoise, and doepfer (the a-196 PLL is one of my favourite modules despite being the only module cheaper than passive attenuators I own)

Never heard of a Steiner-Parker filter
