ARP 2600V from Arturia

I tried this out at AES and it sucked. It's still in beta.
I also demo'd the timewARP2600 by WayOutWare, which is nearly ready to ship. It sounds waaaay better, and is endorsed by Alan R Pearlman, Mr. ARP himself. Arturia doesn't have this endorsement because their sound just doesn't cut it!

The sequencer on this unit is cute, but the filter does not behave like the real thing (for example, patch noise into the filter CV at high resonance)

It will be interesting to see whether Arturia's final release can compete head-to-head with WayOutWare.

Final release should be out anytime soon (a week or two) so we'll can hear by ourselves.
