Just received my miniBRUTE!

[Gert van Santen]

Guys,

I just took delivery of my miniBRUTE. Some very quick thoughts 
(after 10 minutes of playing):

It's SMALL!

It's not that light.

It's a bit less sturdy than I had expected after all the positive 
noise from fans; especially the wheels and toggle switches are a 
bit, well, cheap, and I don't like the keys; they are a bit 
noisy. The slide controls feel cheap too, and they are not really 
great for fine adjustments to the envelopes.
But this is just nitpicking as soon as you hear the sound...

The sound is BIG and mean and fat and thin and powerful and has 
its own character, especially because of the filter, which rocks!

There's lots of new and cool sounds in this machine, even though 
it looks simple.

I'm hoping to make some fun tracks with just JOMOX 999, 
MiniBRUTE, guitar and vocals. And because I'm jealous of Punky 
the Disco, I will be making at least one video clip - but without 
the sexy lady, I'm affraid ;-)

Now please, give me some time off, oh great Lord of Daytime Jobs...
