wish it had the 777 filter.

edit: the audio demos sound good though and there's some nice modulation routings.

Those clips are just too good. I'm on the list now as well!

Between this and the Prophet 08, this has been a pretty good year for analog synth lovers.

I've been following this synth for awhile now. Not jumping on it just yet but I will wait and see after they come out how it is then possibly pick one up. I STILL regret getting rid of the 777 I had years ago.

It's gritty, it's dirty and it's semi-modular. Oh, and it's made by Future Retro. Not much more needed to get excited about a synth.

Hey Drone,
No deposit. Just e-mail your request to be put on the list here;

sales@future-retro.com

They should be able to let you know if you've secured a place in line for the first run.

I regret selling mine years ago EVERY single day of my life. I WILL have another one some day though. They are simply amazing.
