Wiardgroup

I might as well toss my two cents into the ring, anyone who knows me
knows don't cheap out on opinions, half baked and or otherwise.

This is how I see "it" no artist, designer, musician should suffer
unduly for their art. We all make sacrifices in order to make our art,
pay for our tools, have time to drink coffee. Grant is by no means the
property of Wiard users, just like any artist he knows where to draw
the line.

I have modular patchable synthesizers by Moog, ARP, EML, EMS, stuff by
many current designers, etc. I spend more time in front of my Wiard
which is made up of 8 300 modules, 5 1200 modules and one controller.
This should tell you something.

Is Wiard for everyone? No, and it shouldn't be. Here's is a point, you
are either wired for Wiard or you aren't. Some folks try and trade,
buy and sell and run their demo experiments testing filter sweeps and
stuff, some people play music. 

Is there enough rambling scat on this forum? Probably not but there
also are very few forums that are about electronic instruments that
have much content beyond trouble shooting and bitching. Not much to be
in trouble with here. You use a Wiard like clay, you sculpt and you
become a sculptor. Tech support isn't often needed.

I think that if Grant chose to limit his sales, up the prices, etc
there would be a bunch of us still waiting to see what's next and
sending Grant notes about some hair brained idea we may have talked
about. 

Grant likes to talk. Like many of the interesting thinker I have met,
Grant talks in 3D. Doc pointed out that a discussion about music can
easily lead somewhere else entirely. Grant is special but we sometimes
forget that despite the fact that we pay him for his art that he pays
way more.

If you understand this whole thing, please see a psychiatrist at once.
