on the subject of Rack Attack, I see little point in
buying it in hardware at this point. I always wondered
why Waldorf didn't take this product one step further.


namely: the used the case of their Micro Q to house
the Rack Attack, no? and it includes a step-sequencer,
which I would imagine is a pain-in-the-ass to program
with that interface.

Waldorf also made another hardware rack/tabletop synth
with a more easily-programmable step-sequencer: the
Q-rack. personally, I don't understand why they didn't
take the Attack product further: use the case of the
Q-rack to create another new product called "Hard
Attack"... I know the name might sound like a joke,
but seriously, a drum synth from Waldorf with an
interface like the Q-rack might actually have some
tweak appeal and might actually be able to share the
market with the Machinedrum. 

as it is now, the Rack Attack would be pointless to
me: since I would likely end up using software to
program it, I may as well just get the software
version and save $400!

I know this isn't a Waldorf list, I just wanted to
mention this, because I think Waldorf *could* have had
a product on their hands that could have shared a
market with the MD. but, like everything they've done
since the Q, they just seemed to miss the point with
this one. 

oh well. at least there's still the DRM1 to compliment
the MD ;-)

cheers,
kevin
