The Manatee looks very interesting!

Anyone here have a Tooro?

Anyone here have a Tooro?

No, I suggest posting a separate thread on KVR Audio Forum, Mod Wiggler, and/or Poly Expression about it.

[*][Keyboard] Arturia PolyBrute 12 - Unreleased to Preorder

That one still isnt officially announced, one or more retailers have jumped the gun and listed it too soon. Dont know if they were hours or days too early, will find out later today if they were only hours too early.

All known retailers have delisted it, so I have reverted the change.

That was yet another example of a retailer jumping the gun, but I dont think theres any point changing its status back again this time, because hopefully the official reveal is only hours away now.

Sort of expecting just the one MPE dimension on that one, via what they've called FullTouch, but shouldnt have long to wait to find out.

I wonder if the full-touch is similar to the capacities strip sensors that I've seen applied to keyboards in order to allow for an X and Y axis values to be controlled via placement of your finger on the top of the key. Pretty cool idea, if that's what they are going with.

During a stream today, Arturia confirmed that a firmware update for the original Polybrute will enable it to receive MPE.

No they went for no MPE X axis (pitch bend). And they went for the Osmose-like approach of having 2 different stages of downwards key travel to control the other 2 MPE axis.

So no, they dont do any finger sensing stuff like you saw with someones DIY solution for keyboards years ago.
