Title: Just how do you launch a new synth
Post by: DrAKS on January 09, 2017, 11:25:43 am

I have been impatient waiting for a MatrixBrute. Still waiting.

Child like anticipation being the cause. I would welcome  a broad outline of how a product is developed and then launched.

Detail would be great with ranges of time intervals for stages leading to launch. Interesting additions would be delaying factors and cu-de-sacs endured by the team.

I am not asking for any trade secrets, just outlines. I think this would help me to contextualise the order and delivery of my MatrixBrute (eventually).

That's a really interesting idea! I think it may be too late in the day to create this sort of story for MatrixBrute, but it's something we may keep in mind for future releases.

I hope you love your MatrixBrute when it arrives :)

I can only agree with the OP.. reading an authoritative account of how a machine was designed and put into production would really add a welcome new dimension to owning that product. I also think it would help to differentiate Arturia from other manufacturers who keep their lips sealed on the subject.

Thanks for supporting the idea JavaLaurence,

I cannot find any documentation on synth design process though there are many vids of refurbs and mods. Knowledge of actual day to day difficulties would be really interesting and how the project is steered from producing a piece of boring stuff to a world beater would be most interesting

In the gaming industry they have a tradition of "Post Mortem". Gamasutra have them here (http://www.gamasutra.com/features/postmortem/).

DrJ , I have quite a few patients who code the lego games in Altrincham but they are very cagey about any details.

I hope Arturia can give us some info, MOOG have a few vids available.

Although nothing about the launch/business process, this interview (http://greatsynthesizers.com/en/interview/yves-usson-co-developer-of-the-arturia-minibrute/) gives some insight into the MiniBrute development.
