really nice. Cant wait for the Dom 5.

nice looking synth...hope we get some youtube videos soon...maybe Nick from sonicstate will drop by your stand?

dom 5 is must buy for me as for now

regarding dom x/1 - I still do not know if sed filters are better that "mfb" ones. need to have hardware to get final opinion

looks nice, tho as someone said on the other mfb thread, id certainly replace knobs wth davies 1900,, and do some colour coding for sections.. that would look sexy on black background. i got a bunch of them leftover from previous projects.


im still not sure if excluding the classic pb and mw was a good decision. a strange one that is for sure. i mean i like new controllers, and use A6 ribbon a lot, but still, using pb/mw for decades , it has become second nature for me.. esp on bass and lead duties.

some videos of gear

do the knobs and faders send out midi cc?
if that's the case it could double up as an amazing keyboard midi controller
from the videos from messe i can already tell the keyboard is quality and not of the cheap clunky types.

any news?

Yes. This looks like a rather flexible instrument. Lots going on.

Sonicstate too.

I totally missed the announcement of this synth last year!? It seems that this has 3 osc, noise, lots of modulations, several filter types, patch memory, arp + sequencer, and can even play in paraphonic mode! I wish they can get this in production soon. I am totally interested in getting one, definitely if it has patch memory! I am actually more interested in this than the Korg Odyssey. Well done MFB!

MIND=BLOWN

i couldn't bear the mfb knobs and lettering... i was kinda tempted about functionality of Dominion X but these hideous knobs...
Dominion 1 really looks nice and sounds very aggressive! i like the colour coding on the knobs and cv possibilities. looks very solid.
last year MFB stated something around 1300euro?

Either this or the Sub37, my A4 needs a playmate!

sounds fantastic, very flexible

I am really starting to like the looks of this synth, especially those big fat colored knobs!

Buttons, lights, faders, knobs, patch bay, and ribbon strips. Would be hard to walk past without touching it.

No D-Beam though.

The sound reminds me very much of the powerful Pro One sound. Looks really awesome but probably could not afford......

has a defo retro look to it:



reminds me of the Jen 1000sx


plus a tandy mixer



or like the tandy synth the mg1

Can this be right… He just said it's only 1039 Euro. I think he meant to say something between 1300-1400 Euro.

I think the knobs on the Dominion X look fine and pretty decent/average. I can think of lot more synths with way worse knobs than that. I'm not so sure I care much about what they look like instead of what they feel like. I guess a little color can go a long way...

i love classic design on analog monos... hypothetically if i got one of these, i'd definitely replace knobs with either the Synth Tech euro module knobs (sml "moogish" knobs) or with Sequential style knobs black with metal rings near top,,, Prophet 12.. found a place where they have them.. think the synth would look much classier with these.

a true competitor to Sub37. when you look at their respective specifiations and features, and how this sounds, you realize that if this thing had moog logo at the back, wiht perhaps fancier knobs and lights, ppl would probably praise it to heavens already, on them forums, by online revievers like sonicstate and others. this way it's a dark horse ..

Looks and sounds amazing. Tempted to sell my two analog monos for this when it becomes available.

Just wanted to point out that I'm pretty sure you could play this thing 3 voice paraphonic with some clever midi to cv multing

On the video by FM, the MFB guy says it has a paraphonic mode and even demonstrates it. It is at the end of the video! Did somebody try this out at Musikmesse? How is the build quality, how does it look and feel in person?


Exactly. I will get the sub 37 in any case, but this just made it on my purchase list as well. We are living strange but good times. I still wonder how I missed the original announcement of this last year. Going with the colored knobs makes a big difference in how the synth looks. Glad to see that it has extensive modulation capabilities, really makes a difference in what kind of sounds you can make. This thing sounds big and weird, very original, I like and want to touch it!

WTF. i missed announcement last year. It has everything i expected from the maxibrute.

You don't need clever routing for this, paraphonic mode is built in if I understood correctly,
and in fact I think this synth was the first to reintroduce paraphonic mode, Moog and Waldorf came later,
and probably ripped that idea from MFB.
It just took that long to finalize the synth cause they finished the Tanzbär first.

Wow, "ripping the idea of reintroducing paraphonic mode"? Wow. Criminals!

Haha - but I think it's true, it's never been a common feature on a mono synth, MonoPoly ist the only one I can think of before the D1 was announced one or 2 years ago

Wow, out of all the new monos this one appeals to me most (even more than the Boomstars seeing as it has a keyboard and 3 osc paraphony).

It would be a definite buy if not for all the stories on MFB's weak build quality and customer service. I wouldn't be scared of less-than-stellar build quality (this one seems more robust) if the customer service was solid and professional, but all the stories of flimsy products, bad packaging, no replies to emails, no reimbursements, broken products still not functional after being serviced etc. really put me off.

Would be nice to hear about some positive experiences with MFB's customer service to counter the bad ones.
