Arturia Minibrute?

Sassafras

Is it any good?
How does it compare to the Roland SH 101?
Is it reliable?
I'm torn between it, the Korg Odyssey and the Behringer Monopoly.

BTW, I mean the original, not Minibrute 2.

Too late!
I've just bought one.

Congrats. I have one since they came out. Its Not for sale. The filter is a bit marmite, its smudgy/warbly digital sounding. But for me the appeal is..
1)  Single oscillators just pushed just half way up on their own shows it analog class. Real nice purity, esp on the square. Against an Se02/106/Minitaur it certainly holds its own surprisingly well in just pure single oscillator comparisons.
2) No memory and lots of sliders/knobs  is a great workflow, it encourages jamming and mucking about with it. 
3) Audio in is a blast as another oscillator, especially with midi moving the knobs and jamming over it. 

Let us know how you get on. v good buy imho for peanuts / money back if you dont get on with it.

Yeah, that chap's a bit in yer face but he's mostly right.
It looks like a toy but it's a serious instrument. Kicks my MS-1's arse.
For the money it's amazingly versatile.
