some ppl should look at the rack alternative to some synths (like the DX7
for example) .. you'll find these versions sometimes have more power, more
outputs. . and more generally! :)

we must understand elektron have only just begun, and have put much time,
energy and R&D (& money!) into the sidstation.. they haven't exactly been
around since the 70s! ;) (which is why we get such a wonderful, unique
machine!~ i doubt any 'established' music tech company would work on
something so damn cool -- look at roland with their shitty 'gottasell'
groove box crapola!~). I'm having strange dreams about the next project..
man what could it be? :)

oh and a note of warning for other Australian customers (who shouldn't have
to worry as there's to be an australian distributor soon i think) --- the
"painters and dockers" or "wharfies" here are absolute assholes. I've heard
many stories about them --- walking on the roofs of imported cars (before
they put them in containers) .. smashing things deliberately ,and being
generally careless. They have a long history of this sort of crap, no chance
of doing anything about it either, they're mafia unionist types (unless i go
down there with a flamethrower-- hrm).

So if you're going to import SIDstation into Australia *DO NOT SHIP IT* ---
get it on a plane! i've got send mine back because of some mis-treatment,
and it's not DHL, it's these bastards. I should have known this before i did
it, but there's proof -- my box was squashed and the sid is mis-behaving.
