Insta..yeah, you know already. With the "I already own a bunch of their stuff" discount. it's a done deal. Arturia is on a sustained roll.
We shall see orchestral machines with a thousand new sounds, with thousands of new euphonies, as opposed to the present day's simple sounds of strings, brass, and woodwinds. -- George Antheil, circa 1925 ---

It’s really well thought out and sounds great. Do you need it if you have any of the others, probably not. That being said insta buy from me.

Well I bought it on discount ($49) and didn't even know about the MIDI output. Was going to suggest it, but it's already there! Now the sequencer has become something serious.

I'm not interested in 303 sounds but that sequencer looks surprisingly deep.
Does anyone know if you can set the root note when you change the scale or is everything assumed to be based on C?

I think what Arturia does particularly well is operation and function. Their synths are just fun to use, and have the functionality you want/expect. So, nothing wrong with (yet) another 303.woodsdenis wrote: Tue Aug 22, 2023 5:51 pm It’s really well thought out and sounds great. Do you need it if you have any of the others, probably not.

Okay just installed the demo and it's a LOT of fun, especially when you realize you can route the sequencer to...whatever you want, like Repro-1 or MS-20
Speaking of which, I don't think Arturia's MS-20 filter is part of the multifilter modes in the onboard FX, is it?
EDIT, apparently not - Bit of a pity since they took the time to add the Juno Chorus and a couple more from the FX collection...
Also it would be neat if we could swap the main 303-style filter with any of the multifilter modes, I don't think it can be done but that'd make Acid the ultimate bassline synthesizer.
(But then again I feel like I'm nitpicking over a very solid release).

303 goes very nicely with an 808, surely it's a hint.Funkybot's Evil Twin wrote: Tue Aug 22, 2023 3:38 pm I'm not sure why Arturia hates drums but it's clear they do. I refuse to give them a single penny until they apologize to everyone who listens to music with drums and do something to rectify the anti-drum bias that clearly exists at the highest levels within Arturia. Only a change in leadership can rectify that at this point. Nothing less will do.
