i'm considering getting one just for the pattern editor alone. I use the minibrute on literally every production project; this looks like a great addition...

The little mod matrix impressed me and three hundred bones new is a niiice price. The guy makes a fair point about Aturia really giving you a lot of options for the features they've included. But I wonder how much you can do with a single osc sometimes...that's one of the big things that always turned me off the MiniBrute.
@Sharm: What all do you use the MiniBrute for? Just mono leads and basses? Or you do you record and layer things in your DAW?

the arp is great, i use that for... wait for it... arp's a lot. hit record and play w/ the filter, release, etc and you've got an instantly-energetic element for the tune.
the white noise is great for risers, hats, drum sounds, etc.
lead layers and less-subby basses, absolutely.
overall it's a great tool, and i never feel like i'm stuck w/ just one oscillator. the control you have over the phase of teh square and the "metallizer," plus the waveform mixer, makes it quite rich.
it ain't a minimoog, no, but it also ain't $3500.

What a little cutie. When I'm balling again, maybe I'll pick one of these up.
Can you all put your conversation about the minibrute in the
so I don't have to pain myself reading about my lost friend?

Dude, isn't it crazy to see analog again? It is crazy. It seems like the world has come to our tiny corner of the asylum.
