love the concept, didnt like the video at all (epic cringe tbh) .Looking forward to hearing more, if they get the build quality and the sound right it will be a winner im sure.

Could be the age of very interesting hybrid synths, alongside the analog revival.

Arturia are always quite original with their marketing, and with some of their ideas too, such as with the Matrixbrute.

That looks cool, it didn't sound that crazy though. Anyone know how much?

wow, cool - specs read interesting and the sound demos are really nice. all in all this looks like a good chance from the analog only offerings (ewhich are fine in their own right, of course)

that room in the promo vids needs acustic treatment tho...

"We’ve also teamed up with Eurorack synth heroes Mutable Instruments to bring you 7 modes from their legendary Plaits module. "

This looks like an amazing little 4 voice oddball synth.

Amazing concept and love the partnership with MI!

A bargain even as a controller and some of 4x plaits!

Mutable, awesome. I always loved how Arturia was bringing ideas from the boutique/Euro worlds to the masses, this is taking it up a notch

I feel like they need to make a Wasp-y black and yellow version, thought.

Own (and love) a Microbrute. This will probably be my next Arturia purchase. Cheap and delicious.

Some rather nice forward thinking here and it would make great sample fodder for my Digitakt, TR-8S and V-Synth.

With the plaits oscs, wavetables and filters I'm with you! Think it could be outstanding for ambient textures mangled via DT.

If it's as capable of karplus/physical modelling I'm going to swap out a shed load of euro for this.

Kudos to MI for sharing too, love Émilie's open ethos! (e.g. vcv rack)

Super pumped.. I thought we were lost to a world of revival

Looks like an amazing little synth. They didn't hold back. They crammed every feature they could think of into it. Throughout the video I kept going "WTF" as they unveiled more and more capabilities.

I absolutely love the look of it. And I even liked the video.

I don't have time or money for more synths, but I'm thinking that this might make a nice celebratory gift to myself after I file my taxes.

Loving the keyplates. My only experience of this kind of input has been on Animoog, and that was a joy to play. Between this and the Volca Modular it seems experimental, west-coast type stuff is really coming forwards. Love it.
