Re: [elektron] yeh, whats up?

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.
