Spill the beans!

Like I posted on another forum, on Arturia's front page it reads "Something BIg is coming up" with BI capitalized. That would hint to something with two in it (two VCO's?). Unless it's a typo. :)

Must be another hardware synth.

Must be another hardware synth.

There is a blurred picture here http://www.arturia.com/evolution/

Looking closely it looks like the minibrute? Is it or is that the picture of this new thing...?

[Shy]

Fine, so they say it's an analog synth that has no presets and can get control voltage from external hardware (so it's possibly semi-modular), which is based on an existing synth and has "that character" "but can be even wilder" and has a "ballsy sound". Who knows, maybe it's a nice synth with proper oscillators, a good filter and some useful non-bog-standard features. I want no balls in my sound, though, and I don't like brutes.

Thier hardware Minibrute is a very good synth.

[SWAN808]

damn thought it might be polyphonic but it sounds more like a small semi modular...

The minibrute is probably the only Arturia product I would buy in the future so far.


Their software sucks IMO, their midi controllers are meh and their support is absolutely horrific.

I think I saw Microbrute (a mini version of Minibrute) mentioned somewhere yesterday. Has this synth been already officially announced? It should sell for at least $100 less than Minibrute.

Yup, and for that very reason they'll never get another penny from me. Shocking apathy from arrogant staff.

I double that - uninstalled everything Arturia 7 month ago - and is not turning back.

I don't know what they are thinking treating paying customers like that.

I will even leave the hardware keyboard to recycling facility. Firmware broken and no updates to find anywhere.

[SJ_Digriz]

Yeah, the Keylab/Analog Lab release is still barely an Alpha this long after release. What a joke. Wish they would finish things before tossing out another 1/4 finished product.

[masterhiggins]

It's a new spark. It's already been discontinued at Sweetwater.

Edit: damn. I think I see keys. Nevermind.

[SLiC]

Just for balance....

I have most of their software harking back to ghd early days when the moog stuff first came out....it's 10 years old now and it had a lot of free updates right up to making everything 64bit.
I have spark hardware and an analogue lab 61 note keyboard - everything works, I have fun with it and make music. I actually use the SEM and Spark quite a bit.

Back OT

I suspect a Minibrute module, no keyboard, maybe 299 usd? Sell like hot cakes...

[Aural Chaos]

Arturia makes (arguably, but many people share this opinion) 2 of the best synths available for iOS.
Personally not interested in a microbrute, but would be in a Minibrute module for $299.99.
