I realize that there may be any number of > compelling business reasons to keep this under wraps until closer to the > release date, but I'm curios none-the-less... Just some little tiny hint? > A minuscule teaser? :-) Personally, I think it's best for a company not to reveal anything at all... not even a little teaser. Otherwise people might start making expectations and they might even start rumours about it. All of this would have a negative effect on the final product's reputation. Look at Emagic, makers of the great Logic sequencer: they never reveal anything at all until they know they'll be able to deliver the final product in 60 days or so! And another reason not to reveal anything is because of the hard competition in this market. It'd be very easy for another brand to steal an idea and work it out quickly before Elektron even had the chance to bring it to the market: don't forget that companies like Yamaha and Roland have lots of engineers working on every project whereas Elektron is still a small company which can't afford to make mistakes! I'm sure everyone at Elektron is doing a great job and whatever they're working on right now, will probably be a wonderful "thing" again. I hope it'll have as much character as the SIDStation. I still think the SIDStation is the synth with the most character in many years. Daniel, Mikael and Anders: you've got my full support!!! Keep up the great work and surprise us with another hit whenever you think the time is right! > At Onelist.com, this list is described as "Mailinglist for users of > Elektron musical equipment." This implies plural equipment/multiple > machines. Well, I started the list and I didn't intend to raise any expectations. I just wanted to make sure that IF Elektron makes a new machine, the list can also handle this and doesn't have to be changed. So, I didn't mean anything by that... sorry if I disappointed you. > http://www.elektron-esi.se/ looks like a generic site for the company that > will one day sport links to the plethora of other Elektron products out > there ;-) I agree! I can also imagine that all of us are talking about "the great elektron collection of synths" in ten years from here, when Elektron has 50 employees wordlwide and is a world-famous brand.... hmmm... it's so nice to dream... but it's also very nice to be part of something great like the SIDStation! I luv'it! Ciao, Joeri -- Joeri Vankeirsbilck joeri@...
