Yes...
the Silence.....
 The Origin was supposed to ship in September as it said on the Website...
The info has changed to "more info soon...."
When should  the announcement be made that the Origin is "not" ready for shipment , if that is the case,....the end of September???
I didn't forget .

I would appreciate some sort of accountability from Arturia....
What is the Status of development,...
"just around the corner", "unsure","couple of last minute touches"
Is there a new timeline?.....
I cant hang up my other possibilities to gaze at a shifting timetable with out feedback....
The Current Status of the product would be appreciated...Simple...

The Silence of Arturia is Deafening.......

Hi,

A roadmap will soon be displayed on the Arturia website ; sure we have had some delay on the Origin development, but:
 1. yes, it really sounds great 8)
 2. no, it's definitely NOT vaporware :wink:

'Hope it helps you keep some patience.

i can understand the frustration , i personally avoided this page a while ago after waiting a while and checking back a few times then thinking - i'll wait until its for sale.....   the delays ? well to be frank i would rather this than the Terrible treatment and involuntary alpha / beta testing Access virus ti users were put through.The ti should have been held back for about 2 years given the state the first os were in......Way to many rushed out hardware devices i have found and i hope arturia's  timing is related to a decision to actaully sell to the user a fully working product . .. hope so  , delays are worth it for this alone as a  deice like this doenst want to have 'issues ' which seem acceptable by manufacturers of some synths as
 ' bugs ' .I dont buy a car with bugs or a washing machine or Tv - why a synth......bugs are the result of companies using early buyers cash to fund the remaining development....very lame.....arturia please take your time and sell me a Fully working synth ;)SOON :)

Yes, exactly.

I remember when Roland released the V-Synth XT.  There were delays then, too. And when it finally arrived there was a bug with the early ones - at least, there was with mine. It only showed up if you programmed it pretty extensively, which is probably how Roland missed it when doing their final checks.

So waiting a little while for a new product isn't unusual, especially if it's a complex and powerful one.  It was well worth the wait with the Roland.  Having had to wait, and having had that initial software bug, I don't regret buying the V-Synth at all.  It's probably the best synth I've ever bought. and an initial delay and problem doesn't matter at all now.

A small company like Arturia lacks the resources of a company the size of Roland, and things must be even more demanding prior to the release of a new product.

In view of the way Arturia has worked with tried and tested classic synth design it's easy to miss the fact that they're actually a pioneering company. They took classic synth designs into new areas, and Origin is another inspired piece of new design. If I had the money right now I'd be at the leading edge with those of you who are so keen to get working with this synth. You can expect some delays and a bit of silence from Arturia while they work flat out on this, annoying though that may be. But it won't seem so important a bit further down the line.

BTW Virtualworld said "I don't buy a car with bugs."  Are you sure?  The deisel version of one of the Renault range had a rather unfortunate problem in that the brakes were in a sealed unit that had a tendency to fall off the car when travelling at speed. They soon sorted that out, thankfully. The car had the advertising slogan "It takes your breath away."  Embarassing. :lol:

Agreed - but it falls into the hyped at Namm last year and still no firm release date at this years NAMM catorgory. I suspect we'll see it March/April this yeat with an almost there version at NAMM in a couple of weeks.
Also there has been no word from Arturia for weeks. I'm starting to think early 08 is highly optimistic.

Some kind of time table from Arturia's side is definitely required.

I've been waiting for the Origin since Namm 2007.
Though I accept that a development may last longer than expected, I will not wait for this thing foerever and am definitely short before spending my bucks for other gear after reaching next Namm 2008.

My main point is that I won't accept any more vague "in 2008" announcement: this is a childish way of informing customers who have been patient so long. Isn't it obvious to the Arturia team that this way they will be losing a considerable amount of customers for quite a while?

 
So short (or rahther not???) before delivery time Arturia has very little to offer for waiting possible customers:

- no useable mp3 overview to inform how the machine really sounds
- no timetable (promised, but *much* too much delay time here)
- no clear cut info about final implementation

All in all: no good indication of a trustworthy delivery in acceptable time ...
