Some time ago we introduced the ENIGMA concept synthesizer, inspired by the Buchla Easel. We have now built the first prototype and are about to fire it up and develop the firmware. Just to manage expectation, this will take time as it is a very complex synth with full c/c and patch memory. We hope that you’re as excited as we are.
Technical Editor, Sound On Sound...
(But generally posting my own personal views and not necessarily those of SOS, the company or the magazine!)
In my world, things get less strange when I read the manual...
Also been announced is the Spice (subharminiconesque) desktop synth, that Solina's are now shipping from Thomann and that they had stock, emphasis on had!
Also they're now assembling the first prototype of the UB-X, an OB-X clone in the full size 61 key case, should take a few months to have a working prototype helped by having the same software as the UB-Xa.
And going by posts on GS it seems PRO-800's are starting to be shipped, a few people have had their order status updated to "preparing for packing" and there is one so far that has had their's updated to "shipped".
They're coming!

Purlease don't start seeing eye-to-eye, that will throw everything out of whack.
(I believe in you Uli. Make me a Beasel.)
There’s no reason why Hugh shouldn’t see eye to eye about something that most of us think is true "even" if it did come from me.
I think that anyone would be non-plussed at the way Behringer are conducting themselves as a major player, it’s cringe making.
I love all this "it’s been packed" "it’s being shipped" do we also get to know when the guy sending it takes a crap, or a tea break?

I am quite keen on stats, especially on the day of the delivery stats.
I forget who it is that does the on the day route stats - you are no 56, driver is at No 53 a mile away, eta 20 minutes [ignoring time for any ablutions/tea breaks]
so much better than parcelfarce " sometime between 8:00 & 18:00 unless its tomorrow"

other delivery farces are available....
We’ve had notifications like "left under a neighbours car"

My favourite one of those was "Left in the blue bin" I don't have a blue bin. AFAIK Nottingham City Council have never used blue bins for anything. Certainly no-one in my street has one. I have a green bin and a brown bin. It wasn't in either, although the brown bin had just been emptied that morning...
Someone on GS has received their PRO-800 and had decided to open it up to see what's inside. Seems to be well made with quality PCB's and even temperature isolation cutouts around the VCO's.

Not all PCB cutouts are for temperature stability (in fact very few). The CoolAudio V3340 spec sheets states it has very low temperature drift; "Full temperature compensation makes this VCO extremely stable".
They are more likely to be there to reduce capacitance or leakage between adjacent oscillator circuits, as air is less conductive than the PCB material.

Get ready to rock out with the Kobol and unleash your inner musician!
The Kobol is now fully developed and scheduled for production. We’re super excited

Who needs another monosynth?! Sheesh...
Not like it's going to cost them much to produce, they're using the same form factor as the existing paraphonic synths. I thought this was going to be another module in their euro-sized line though, and it doesn't appear to have the patch points of the original.
