Re: Unprovoked factory reset of UW

2005-08-29 by microkorg666

The only explanation I have for this is that Elektron machines, while 
great, are also infested with bugs. Their OS updates usually resolve 
some of these bugs, but surface others.

What bothers me most is the 'code of silence' Elektron users share 
and follow. Lets face it, if any company released machines with such 
problems they would be out of bussiness soon, but Elektron doesnt, 
and its something that still makes me wonder why.

I love my Elektron machines, both my machinedrum and monomachine, but 
I would love even more if Elektron released a final OS for both with 
no bugs at all. 

It pains me to hear all sort of new features to be added on the 
machines, or new product releases by Elektron, while their old and 
VERY EXPENSIVE stuff is still unfinished and buggy.

Please Elektron: finish your stuff. Get rid of bugs for once and 
simply close the OS's on monomachine and machinedrum. The best new 
feature you could include in both your machines would be a bugless, 
crash proof OS.

Thanks

PD: I know I'll get flamed for this post, but its my personal 
opinion, and its backed up by my personal experience.
