<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I had one...but I sold it. It sounded great and was really a lot of fun to play on, but the unit I got had issues. The Oscillators did not track very well over more than an octave and a half and the CV inputs were very weird. The metal weights they glued to the keys to dampen vibrations were falling off into the case. I had it replaced under warranty and the second one had issues too. The consensus at the time was "that's just how they are" so I sold it to a guy who didn't care and moved on. Recently, I heard that a lot of the first run shipped to the US were terrible and that Arturia has since switched manufacturers. I don't know if that's true or not.<div><br></div><div>Given the money, I'd go for the Bass Station II thats out now. I played one at KnobCon a few weeks ago and it is exceptionally cool! If I still worked in styles that required that kind of sound, I'd buy one in a heartbeat. </div><div><br></div><div>Tony <br><div><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: forums@punkdisco.co.uk<br>To: music-bar@lists.music-bar.org<br>Subject: MiniBrute - Views<br>Date: Sun, 22 Sep 2013 11:09:01 +0100<br><br><style><!--
