Elektron Musical Instruments

I guess there is a some sort of waiting list for UW's at elektron. 
You leave your mail-address and they notify you when there is more 
UW's coming. I've understood that they don't actually reserve UW's 
for people, but they notify them. You could sign to this list, so 
that you will at least get a notice when UW's are coming.
