Again, for clarification, Peter never made an original estimate of US$5K
for the CMI-30A on this forum. He wrote (2009-08-08 22:55):
"Re pricing: yet to be finalised, but the choice to go with the CC-1
does come at a price. Although the CC-1 is not sold currently as a
separate card (it would be no use without the software etc that goes
with it), the retail price would be around the $5,000 mark. So you can
do the sums, the CMI 30-A is not going to be price competitive with the
mass-market synths which abound."
The "$5,000 mark" refers to an estimated retail price for the CC-1 card
- BY ITSELF.
Perhaps Peter should not have suggested that we "do the sums", since
most of us don't have experience calculating all the costs in commercial
manufacturing.
