Agreed. I've have played both Korg Kronos and Roland Jupiter 80, which both were kind of challengers to Origin: those two have their analog emulations and big color touch screens (and LOT of stuff that Origin does not have). But after short test period I can say that I like Origin concept much better; it goes so much deeper in this analog emulation (which is not of course any surprise). Having Origin (together with my Nords), I don't even consider these new rivals. Origin has very well though GUI, very intuitive design, very nice basic sound (effects like reverb could be better!) and in one word: very unique and inspiring concept! So I'd say that Origin is still on the top of the game!
But like others said, everything is happening painfully slow. With this thread I wanted to give Arturia a perspective what kind of priorities different people have: what is
the most urgent thing to fix or add to Origin? I think all of us can easily write ten to twenty things to improve... But if I had to choose one, I'd still say it's about computer integration: Origin needs better Editor/Plugin/Librarian -software. While Origin works great on stage (I use it almost every week!), most of us are using it in our computer environment. In my home studio I don't have very good physical access to its buttons; I'd really like to have an option to see it in bigger screen and edit it with mouse. Also I'd like to have much better sound library software. ( Let's say that this is just one wish
)
BTW I also have Spark which is developing quite fast (compared to O): Arturia is giving us nice sound banks and updates quite often. In Spark Forum I have spoken about better integration of different Arturia products. I'd really like to see the day when I could control Origin with Spark (let Spark step sequencer play Origin for example), or vica versa: play Spark drums with Origin sequencer.. IMO it would be a wise business move from Arturia to make their products work nicely together.
