Analogue-sequencer

And look at the vast disparity in support - the genoqs developers have been missing in action now for a long time.

Anyone who is a sequencer nut, and follows what's available, both in the midi and the analog domain, can't possibly think that this is overpriced. The closest comparison is probably the Schrittmacher, which is $1,999, hasn't had an update in years, and has no support as far as I know. And of course, compare the price of the other boutique sequencers....

I was actually quite surprised (well, maybe not) that this was going to come in so low.

As for the technical reasons as to why sequencers seem to be so expensive - I'm not really sure. I suppose that's an interesting topic in itself.
