I might as well ask the questions on everyones lips...

[mully]

When?....How Much?....and can other modules be added?
 ie jupiter 8...etc

Congratulations arturia...always pushing the boundaries!!

my guess is that they will sell basic Origin device with the older vst synths mentioned  and then offer upgrades like the jupiter (kind of like uad fx cards ) at similiar price to the software versions and the Origin will be open ended and open to continual future expansion and upload of new arturia devices.Seems logical as my guess is they dont intend on keeping on making new hardware but make the 1 hardware (origin)  device which all their future software products can load into.Nice idea !

I've seen it up on DV247.com listed at £1699

To be honest you would expect it to be up there in terms of price with the Virus and so on as it packs a fair processing punch.

Was hoping it might be a bit more affordable, but... oh well.

For this much cash they should really bundle all the existing plug-ins though.

From this picture, you can clearly see the Prophet is on it...

here is proof of a cs80v

Its instrument mixer and effect section looks simple to find....

It looks like the black knobs are fixed pots and the select knobs(white) are like scroll wheels with possible select switching...

multiple outputs, inputs,phones,pedal jacks, midi and usb
