Just to be devil's advocate, what's this sudden fascination with tabla and tampura sounds that people should want to unload hundreds of dollars on them as modules rather than just, say, triggering and manipulating samples? Lacks the drama and faceplate appeal? --Chuck _____ From: tzuica@earthlink.net [mailto:tzuica@earthlink.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2004 12:49 PM To: dotcomformat@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [dotcomformat] Re: tampura & tabla Jeez, I ain't knockin' Cynthia at all...in fact, after emailing back & forth, I'm pretty sure I'll start a six pac cyndustries systems by the new year (including both tampura & tabla models). I don't think anyone is REALLY questioning her prices, just some people are questioning the need for voltage control and saving some money to boot! Me? I dig having the modules as part of my synth and will go that route. In fact, Cynthia offered to make it "dot commable" if I could get a face plate made at no add'tl charge OR 1/4" jacks instead of bananas. Now THAT'S what I call service!

You can buy the devices for about $200.00, you<BR> can mount them in a panel with a little labor and some sheet metal. You<BR> WON'T have a CV controlled module, simply something that is mounted with the<BR> rest of your synth. Cynthia spent significant time circuit bending these<BR> devices so that they could be PART OF your synth instead of a place holder<BR> in the panel. So while you can save bucks, you probably CAN'T make the same<BR> thing that Cyndustries is selling! There was quite a 'lively' discussion on<BR> this and some think that the Cyndustries modules are a rip off. If you<BR> don't want a module, or you think her price is a rip off, then don't buy her<BR> module. But unless you have done what she has done, and are selling to the<BR> very small nitch market she has addressed, it does not make sense to knock<BR> her prices. Like the others in this comparatively small market, she charges<BR> what she must to make a profit based on her time investment and her<BR> materials costs. She sell to a market that has more Do-It-Yourself types<BR> then probably any market other then ham gear, and that is a much bigger<BR> market. We should thank the Cynthia's, Roger's, Paul's, and John's that<BR> make complete modules that we can use to make the wonderful systems to play<BR> with! Then save up for that 'overpriced' module you really, REALLY want,<BR> and hope they are still selling it when you finally get the bucks together.<BR> I know that's how I've gotten my DocCom, MOTM, and Blacet modules...<BR> </rant off><BR> <BR> Larry T.<BR> <BR> p.s. I have NO affiliation with any of these manufacturers, only a desire<BR> to see them succeed so that I can buy the modules I want (like Cyndustries<BR> Milton sequencer with 1/4" jacks)!<BR> <BR> </tt> <br> <!-- |**|begin egp html banner|**| --> <table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2> <tr bgcolor=#FFFFCC> <td align=center><font size="-1" color=#003399><b>Yahoo!
