...just a note on that: we _never_ give stuff away for promotion.
We've been approached by quite some big names, or rather their
secretaries, asking for some kind of promotional deals. But our
thought is that if there is anyone who can afford paying it's them -
and also, if you see someone using our stuff it's because they really
want to, noone payed them for it.

For me it just takes the cred away when I read that Basement Jaxx used
a ton of Roland equipment, but just because they were handed them free
from Roland and don't really care about them.

Of course we're very happy Authecre seems to base their whole live gig
on the MD and the Mono SFX-60, but even more so knowing they payed the
full price and thought it was worth it!

Best,

Daniel
