Here in this german synth forum they discussed a little bit the situation of the company MFB after the passing of Manfred Fricke:

I had no idea they were around this long. Bought a drum sequencer and mixer for Eurorack 10 years ago. They felt so cheap I was afraid I would break them if I used them.
Many thanks for sharing! I already checked sequencer.de, but missed that specific one…
So to quickly summarise, it seems that Jean Marcel is mainly concentrating on his studies at the moment. It’s not clear yet how it continues with MFB in terms of new products, but at least repairs should still be going on. Therefore I guess/hope it’s just a matter of time.

I really hope MFB manage to pull the company together after the passing of Manfred and continue his legacy. They’re an amazing company putting out some incredible devices.
I hope you get your machines back and working soon.
My list for a Dominion 1 and Synth Pro grows by the day…

That’s pretty insane…
After over a year of waiting with (almost) no news and just after this thread popped up again, I got mine finally back today 
No announcement, neither from MFB nor from the store, just a suspicious notification from DHL yesterday and here it is. Still can’t believe it!!
Huge thanks to MFB/Jean Marcel!
@Hotchkiss So I hope you’ll get yours back as well soon!

Lucky you !
I sent mine directly to MFB, how about you ?
Yeah, definitely lucky me!
I got mine at musicstore and could simply return it there, they took care then of dealing with MFB. Just called the shop, the repair work was definitely done by MFB. So that means MFB found a way to get it done somehow which I see as a good sign that you will get yours back (hopefully) soon as well.
Mine had an issue with the VCA which stuttered and randomly interrupted the sound. As far as I know it was related to some defect chips which could easily be replaced. Same issue for you?

Mine had level jumps during the decay phase. What’s a little odd is that MFB told me that it seemed to have the VCA fix already. I haven’t heard from them much since then…
