Looks like I'm getting an Arturia Microbrute for Christmas!
I know it seems like it's not much of a surprise, but I like to think of it as a surprise I know about early! My wife is getting it for me with some support from other relatives.
The thing I like about the Microbrute so much is that it has a patch bay and "speaks" the same voltage languages that Wally does. So this means that I'll be able to use Wally's modules to supplement the MB's features. Which is handy, since the MB only has one oscillator. Wally's VCO will mix in nicely, though I imagine I'll have to spend some time with the o-scope and tuner re-scaling the VCO to match the MB's range. (And tuning the MB's keyboard too - it should be pretty well in tune from the factory, but like with guitar action, I've heard that many MB's need a little adjustment to be perfect. No biggie, that's one thing I do know how to do.)
This does make some of Wally's new modules less urgent, thought I really need to get his scratchy pots cleaned up.
Fortunately, I have a few weeks of vacation coming up soon, and at least half of my time isn't already committed to being places other than where my toys are. Expect some pictures and maybe sounds in the next few weeks.
