Martin (gangly wrench etc..), but seriously, lots of interesting
information, most of which I didn't understand.
I thought it might be time to have a gentle debate on the future of
Serge/STS.
It seems (although it hasn't been confirmed) that there is a long waiting
list for new panels. I saw a report of nearly six months for a custom panel.
I've never really understood whether the shop panels are still being put
together in Oakland and the custom ones by Rex in Wisconsin or not.
Anyway, the whole situation puts me off ordering anymore panels and I know
at least one other person who feels the same.
Contrast that with ModCan who can complete an order in less than two months,
with equal workmanship and at a cheaper price. In addition, ModCan have a
website with (effectively) online ordering.
I've just ordered an FR-777 from Future Retro. I assume it is a similarly
small operation however they have a glossy website with sound samples,
photographs, downloadable manuals and ordering information.
So what is the future of the Serge synthesiser with no manual, no website
(apart from the sterling work by JohnP), no email address, no information on
ordering....the list goes on.
In the immortal words of David St Hubbins "Can someone check me on this. Am
I going insane?"
