Just watched the demo for Arturia's new Hardware synth,
Origin.
On the details page it mentions that they are using 2 TigerSHARCs. Nicely implemented user interface.
If I had silly money I'd rather have a Solaris.
Speaking of which, anyone going to NAMM - John will be there, with a prototype Solaris.

Looks like the death of the ASB.

Probably true as most people seem to be unable to hear how bland those Arturia synths sound. Tried the demos of Minimoog and the Modular - didn't like them at all.

Why does Arturia get rave reviews if they sound bad?
Check out the ASB prices at Musicians Friend:
We're sorry, this product has been discontinued

Well i saw rave reviews of the Spice Girls too, didn't make them any better. Popularity is no measure of quality.
Anyway i didn't say they sound bad - they just lack a certain 'life' for me. Also i have seen fairly negative reviews too. Personally when it comes to VSTi then GMedia do it for me. Arturia seem to reuse the same code for non-related devices (like the ARP), whereas GMedia code for each device (hence the long wait for new releases).

For that price i'd rather have Solaris.
