Out on Thursday, should be with UK Print issue subscribers by tomorrow hopefully and in WH Smith's by the weekend, if not sooner. Best £5.99 GBP you'll ever spend. :-)

Re: Arturia PolyBrute SOS Review - it lives!
Oh my... I've not had time to read the review yet but will do so later tonight. That snuck up on me, I've obviously not been paying attention.
I had a love/hate relationship with the MatrixBrute for a while but it has steadily moved towards the 'love' end over time, especially with the most up to date OS version (and it's definitely a synth I'm keeping).
My credit card is begging me to stop looking in its general direction already.
What a cracking thing to feature :clap:

Just fired off a mail to the go-to man who facilitates my pre-orders ... no ETA yet, but it's happening. It was inevitable really :D

Ooh! Only poly aftertouch missing for my ideal, but can't argue with that spec.
I'll be reading with interest.

I’ll wait a bit until the price comes down.
That Morphee thingy looks a bit cheesey, but in a sort of cool Toyota Crown sort of way.

Re: Arturia PolyBrute SOS Review - it lives!
It does look a nice bit of kit. I am on the brink of buying an 'analogue' synth and I have always been delighted with any Arturia products. There are used MatrixBrutes going on eBay for as little as £1100 these days, but I do like the look of this new product

Yep - personally I would have preferred to have the wheels in the normal place, and swap with the morph thing.
However, the ability to morph between patches is a great performance feature that isn't utilised in synths enough, imo.

Yeah, I know, I'm slowing down in my old age :D
After reading the excellent Sound On Sound review, for anyone interested in a very good video review of the PolyBrute, I recommend this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLpx4YKF3gk
