I never said they were the majority, but some forums were more hostile than others and the people who were negative were very vocal about it in a number of posts. I think the Minibrute is pretty great. I must, I pre-ordered italan partridge wrote:from what I've seen, there seems an awful lot of buzz and interest in it on all the forums, very favourable altogether.
Now I'm trying to figure out if I can swing the extra money to pre-order the Minitaur too
i want one. it's biggest appeal for me is the sheer accessibility. you can just plug in and play and get twirling on knobs and sliders. no presets to worry about. it's everything i'd want from an sh-101 minus the keytaring ability.Synthacon wrote:The limited range of the Minitaur VCO puts me off to be honest. The MiniBrute seems at the moment to have very few neagative points and when added to the price seems a great little bit of kit.
I see the low end SH101 and SH09 under threat from the MiniBrute the most, similar price point and features. Maybe the older gear will see a slight fall in prices and demand.Kidney05 wrote: it's everything i'd want from an sh-101
Yeah the 101 still has the nod as far as sequencing goes, since the Minibrute will only be capable of 12 notes and you can't use the same note since letting off that key will end the sequence, but some normalization of prices is likely.Synthacon wrote:I see the low end SH101 and SH09 under threat from the MiniBrute the most, similar price point and features.

Yeah, there actually seems to be a large number of 101 users who use the sequencer... I've never used and so don't really know what the fuss is about. Ignoring that aspect, however, I do imagine the MB will knock down similar monos such as the sh09 as you mentioned in terms of desirability. Case in point, I just passed up both a sh-09 and Korg MS-10, both for ~$500 each, simply because I have a MB on the way. True, they all have their unique charms, but for my needs, the MB will cover all that they would offer, and plus a whole lot more.Synthacon wrote:I still do not think there are a lot of 101 users who use the sequencing on it though to be that concerned about it.

It can alternate between fast and long sustained notes, staccato and glides over 4½ octaves, in long sequences on the top of that. Used creatively, it can rock. Just think of Squarepusher.Sir Ruff wrote:Yeah, there actually seems to be a large number of 101 users who use the sequencer...

huh... interesting. I guess the only caveat is that your sequence dies with the batteries? I can see this being useful for an all analog/no PC setup, but in a midi setup, not really.. although I do appreciate how happy accidents can happy with that type of sequencer.Scories wrote:It can alternate between fast and long sustained notes, staccato and glides over 4½ octaves, in long sequences on the top of that.
