Mine arrived today!
I was expecting it tomorrow at the earliest.
Thank you Arturia! This is for real. They did a great job packing all these features in a very solid unit. The keyboard and aftertouch is great. Knobs, sliders, switches feel solid as well. Having much fun with the arpeggiator. Hooked it up via CV to my Dark Energy and got some extremely wicked sounds.
They have hit it out of the ballpark (I'm watching the home run derby at the moment!).
To those who are waiting - it will be worth the wait. There are good reasons for the delays, and Arturia has at least tried to ship what they are able at the moment.
Unfortunately - I have some USB/midi issues in my rig that I thought I would have time to correct before the Minibrute arrived but didn't get around to fix. So I can't update to the new firmware or connect to the software. The issue is almost certainly on my end, so I am going to have to make my contortions and other tricks to get behind my rack and stands to check cable runs, etc. It's not what I am looking to do tonight, but that's the price one pays for having such a convoluted rig that I have!
