DIETER SAY:

"Latest information concerning the EMS filter. EMS
wants 2500.00 Euro 
basic
licence plus 50.00 Euro + VAT licence fee for each
single A-102 module. 
As our
estimated price for the A-102 was 75.00 Euro the price
would double to 
about
150.00 Euro (our price 75.00 + 50.00 single licence
fee + 25.00 divided 
basic
licence fee 2500.00 for about 100 pieces). I don't
think that the 
customers are
willing to pay that much I don't see why EMS should
earn the same money 
as
licence fee as the manufacturer (Doepfer). In addition
EMS will only 
allow that
we call the A-102 "EMS filter" but they do not allow
that we mention 
that the
module has the same or similar circuit/sound as the
EMS filter. It 
would be
prohibited that we compare the sound/circuit somehow
to the original 
EMS filter.
So I think that we probably will not offer this
module. You may put 
this
information to the news group if desired.
