</span>I think they are too weird and unfocused, they could never do something completely serious. Op1 is a bit like what I am talking about but pocket version and does have its limits.<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Arturia?</div></div></div></div></blockquote><br><div>Yea, weirdos as well. They blew it open with the minibrute, then some cool stuff, but really more like a slow crawl. Also a bunch of people on the Arturia forums REALLY hate them for the origin, I dunno why but they do. </div><div><br></div></body></html>
