:)

No, I'm sorry I can't give any hint on what it's going to be just yet.
I estimate the first details could be given around new year. We hope to
have the product ready in March/April next year. All I can say is that it
will be something totally different from the SidStation, even though it
will be as original and unique in it's own way as the SidStation.

And - no - we will not dig up some other old chip for this one! :)

The SidStation was what I always dreamt about doing. A synth that gave the
SID-chip another chance to play a role also in todays music - outside the
C64 scene. The SID-chip is the coolest chip ever made. But this business
have given us a chance to also come up with other ideas of what could
spice up the music scene! So why not take it...

You're right! :)

It's very empty as it is right now. Just there to show something more than
the boring Apache "Yes - it worked!"-page. We will do a proper site.

Some day.

After the SidStation site is redesigned to fit our new graphical image
that our upcoming advertising will reveal. (Yes - we have a new logo!)
Friends: www.acne.se
