I agree with RichMakeGame on this one: I'd rather have Arturia release the hardware working more or less as it should, than waiting for the hardware until the day every software shortcoming is solved.
LOL, not what he said at all, but no worries. The thing is going back in it's box. The sync bug is a showstopper for me and rolling back to the previous firmware (wich I did) is more trouble than benefits. I can certainly wait for a month and a half since I've got a replacement solution on it's way to the studio.
I reckon I should really get a minibrute to be more impressed by this "hard work" in action.
I'm signing off and shall return when the big release will come to light. This way my babbling won't rain on the parade.
