Totally agree...i have the waldorf xt...a freind with a q...waldorf seem to think there customers are all betatesters.(only you pay for the privelage)..they .never seem to really address bugs without loads of hassle and say the reason they release gear with so many faults ( or bugs which are are faults arn't they?) is because there as small company and finacially can't do it any other way...hey i guess this is right off topic and more than a little 'waldorf 'unfreindly...they make cool sounding synths...they have the worst customer support and backup i have ever experienced ....so regards the delay...respect to Elektron ...unlike manufacturers who use the buyer as a tester ....i wonder how people would feel if you sold them cd's with glitches or music with substandard errors....please replace this i guess would be the buyers response..... ...half these synth manufacturers would have you reburn the music cd yourself...if they sold music...hang on a minute...waldorf have just set up a record label...not sure about that one at all....guess what peter namlooks on it...... drifted right off topic...nothing wrong with pete... liked some of the stuff he puts his name on. charly --- Joeri Vankeirsbilck <joeri@...> wrote: > Hi, > > > Yeh its kinda strange.
