OK, I've been playing with one for a day. I got it for <4k street from Nova Musik and I'll have to say it's lovely.
The synths are great. The effects are great, the latency is great, mixing is great, and it's got lots of 3rd party support, the routing is amazing, and it's all just worked. Quality of sound is extremely high, MIDI responsiveness is great, MIDI mapping is simple and consistent across plugins. It's got piles of DSP power. Overall it's exceeded my expectations.
Lots of novel things on this platform. Super value for money IMO. I'm VERY pleased.
The modular is super, and it's acting exactly as I want it to. System is totally stable for me so far, and CPU usage is essentially zero.
It's very mature, and loaded with amazing stuff, with apparently a lot more available for purchase and for free.
Today I hooked it up with my H8000fw via ADAT, and I'll hook it up with the Pacarana tomorrow. So the whole system is Bidule, Xite-1, Pacarana, H8000 and my choicest VST's. It's sound is seriously dimensional.
I think I will sell *some synths* (e.g. Virus Ti, MS2000R and others) after playing with this, which really covers the expense completely.
The last piece of equipment I was this impressed with was the Pendulum Audio Quartet II (entirely different, but also awesome).
