im seriously thinking about getting this as well. This is like REAKTOR as hardware. No one seems to have one yet. Out of all the videos on youtube, not one single private user has made a video or reviewed it.

Perhaps no one can afford it. The street price is $2500. But like i said, this is like Reaktor as hardware. This is dam near as endless as REAKTOR
( minus sampling capabilities )

Wow. I like it. I own APR 2600V but have been using hardware more in recent times, so this appeals to me big time.
If I were Arturia, I would seriously focus on making this thing as reliable as possible as a stand alone unit first. People who are used to plugins etc. are used to a few start-up troubles – which I think would be completely out of the question for a piece of hardware. Especially at $2500.
There are a lot of wild synths in this price range – Access Virus, Nord Lead 3, Radikal Technologies Spektralis, Kurzwiel 2600, Roland XT, hell, you could almost buy a MachineDrum AND a MonoMachine for the price of this unit!

Looks great so far.

Arturia’s use of dongles is a deal-breaker for me. I’ve been tempted by their products but I don’t like to give large sums of money to companies that treat me like a criminal.

Looks pretty slick,
2500$ is about right…

At the Arturia NAMM booth I was told the Origin will be priced around $2500 (street) and ship in September.

Thanks, Julien, though I really hope you’re wrong. Suddenly this becomes a pretty pricey affair.

We’ll have to do a pricing and availability roundup at the end of NAMM so we can figure this all out; information has been a little sketchy.

if the price is right i will buy the origin in a heartbeat. Their minimoog emulation is incredible but my ibook can never keep up. 32 voices without draining any cpu power, plus a physical interface would be a god send.
