Hi All!

Sorry for the crossposting, but I thougth that I needed to share this
pressrelease with you. It actually came to me a few days ago, but I
haven't got around to send it until now.

These people are not yeat connected to the Internet, so they asked me
to pass this onto you.

I'm not doing any buissness with these people, I only know them and
this is a little favour I do them.

Cheers,
Magnus

Pressrelease intended for the Internet:

Foreword:

Hi all at the Internet!
Let us first let it be known that we are most greatfull for this
chance of being seen on the Internet for the first time. We have heard
a lot in the media and among friends and we are just getting to learn
about it. This Mosaic 2.4 seems like the thing to run and we will get
an Internet account now that we just released our new product series.

Pressrelease of the new Magocrapial Pro 1100 Series

Magocrapial Musicworks is proud to present the new Magocrapial Pro 1100 Series
of synthesizers. We beleive that the universal interface and ease of use will
make it the perfect choise for not only composers and artists but also to
studio engineers to process sound and get unique soundscapes to make their
studios more successfull on the hard market. The growing set of modules will
ensure that your studio and concert rig will be easilly upgradeable to the
lates Magocrapial state of the art technology. The high quality production
line and the fine testing methods will ensure that you get the highest
Magocrapial quality.

The new Magocrapial Pro 1100 Series build upon the success of the Magocrapial
Pro 1000 Series. We have learned a lot from the feedback of our users and we
have added several new features which will ensure a stable functionallity.

We have on popular demand from out customers now started to ship the new 
Magocrapial Pro 1100 series with two original Magocrapial Magic Smoke (C) cans.
These have earlier been available as spare parts (only $79.95 per 200 ml can)
but to aid initial installation and the high possibility of magic smoke
emitting during that procedure we have decided to ship the new series with
two cans. Of course can the user order extra cans along with their new
Pro 1100 Series and they can also order them separatly for maintainance.

In order to broaden the soundscapes in which you may use your new Magocrapial
Pro 1100 Series synthesizer we have added a new unique feature which was
developed in the secret laboratories at MIT. We have earlier had the
Pro 1000 Series prewired in what is know in the trade as the Magic mode. 
Now we can as the first synthesizer manufactor present the Magic switch
which allows the user to select between the Magic mode and the new
More Magic mode. This new feature have been developed and used by the sharpest
brains at MIT and have just recently been found in publications. It is
using an propritary one-wire technology which is patended.

The Magocrapial Pro 1100 Series is fully patchable and infact, just like 
the big classical synths you have full freedom to connect anything to
anything simply from the fact that we decided to not prepatch anything and
thereby not lead the user into a preset track of sounds and solution.
We have noted that standard connectors is therefore highly needed and
therefore we have selected two tracks of connectors. For the ultimate sound
experience with previous unhear precission we are proud to present
the compact SMA 2.9 connectors which is using Kapton (TM) film wafers
as part of the contact body to achieve the necessary bandwidth of DC
to 46 GHz. This bandwidth is needed for an untouched soundscape only
available from the Magocrapial labs.

Due to popular demand in the Magocrapial Pro 1000 Series of the Gold XLR
versions we have desided to develope the technique further in close cooperation
with out supliers we have developed the Magocrapial Gold XLR Plus technology
which has previosly unseen features. The Magocrapial Pro 1000 Series Gold XLR 
technology featured goldplated pins with an unique connection scheme.
In the new Gold XLR Plus technology we have also goldplated the chassi metal
case. In the old Gold XLR technology we still had the lock feature which where
found to be more irritating then usefull so it has now been removed so that
you will never more be irritaded that you patchcables are locked for fast
removal or repatching. In order to get optimal contact and signal transfer
characteristics we have designed a low-impedance interconnection between the 
3 pins and also to the chassi.

To further improve the the patch system we have designed high-impedance
outputs and low-impedance inputs to give optimal cable preformance.
All outputs have been normalised to the new standard of -40 dBu peak level.
This is done to avoid the current noise problems in cables and low impedance
inputs. The new current based cable system uses an stable DC current
of 20 A to allow for cable status monitoring, this allow for unique
compensation features only found in the Magocrapial Pro 1100 Series.

In order to well support this high level of signal quality we have used
Monster Cables in all internal interconnections except in the power
distribution where we uses goldplated soldid copper rods througthout.
This used to be an option in the Magocrapial Pro 1000 Series but it
was so popular that we desided to make it mandatory in the Pro 1100 Series.

In order to get the warm sound of the 60ths and 70ths we have incoperated 
the best technologies and manufactor it according to the best technology
available in the late 90ths to give the sounds beyond the millenium available
to you now. In search of the unique sound we have found that a combination of
firetubes, glassfets, germanium transistors, germanium diodes and innovative
silicon designs like the 741 (used only at selected places) will give the
razor sharp and crisp sound that is needed.

In order to give stable and reliable power we have built an unique power
supply based on hand wired transformers and selected glassfets. The
transformers is wired during full moon in order to give optimum preformance.
We have now a limited supply of transformers which have been handcrafted 
in the ligth of the moon and the Hale-Bopp comet, this offer will not come
back until about 2000 years from now, so call us soon to ensure you have one!
The quality if these transformers is ensured since our specially trained 
left handed personal user their unique gifts to wind the transformers
up to the high specifications set by the Magocrapial labs.

The transformers are part of our Lone Wolf project in seek of the deep
and dark nature of synthesizer sounds. We are the only manufactor that
can guarantee that our synths have not been exposed to sunligth or other 
christian symbols. This make it usefull for Satanic bands which have longed
for an monster synth to give the truely devilish soundscapes unheard on this
side the grave. To give our users full freedom we have selected to have some
features of the Lone Wolf project as option only.

The components have just as in the Magocrapial Pro 1000 Series been burned in 
tested and stored since our buy up of them in 1974, this to ensure the true
soundscapes of the 70ths. They have been sited in our unique Magocrapial 
Burnin Owen (patented in 1992 and 1993) since they where bougth. This will 
also ensure that they will keep their warm sound. Often will they still be 
warm when the special Magocrapial Delivery Truck arrives at your doorstep 
with your new Magocrapial Pro 1100 Series.

The unique superlinear distorsion units will give crisp clear distorsion
unheard from other commercially available units. Most other units are nonlinear
and this causes a more muddled or sharp unnatural sound instead of Magocrapials
new superlinear system. Studies have shown that 98 % of the users prefer
the new superlinear system.

We are as you know in the micro age and of course have the Magocrapial
Pro 1100 Series brougth in the most efficient technologies available.
We make use of an array of magnetrons, thyratrons and MASERs to achive
an througth body experience of microwaves, this hot experience is used
to spice hot girls of the edge. It's also a cool effect to trow
in... what beats the cracking off an egg when boiled-fried with 2.45 GHz 
microwave modulated with a super-linear distorted guitarr sound?
Nothing!!!

Due to the physical properties of the Magocrapial Pro 1100 Series (an minimum
configuration weigths about 2.5 tons without the PSU and keyboards) we have 
now opened our new Magocrapial Architect and Engineering support service to 
aid preparations of the building which will hold the new Magocrapial Pro 1100
Series synthesizer. We have found that a thougthfull planning is needed to
ensure that the building will physically hold up the weigth of the Pro 1100
Series and that no accidents happend during the installation procedure.
It has also shown to be necessary to punch holes in a few walls and improve
the strength of floors and outside road/parkinglot. 
The power lines migth need revision as well as the studio cooling system.
Our engineers and architects will work with you to find an solution.

One attempt has been made to take an Magocrapial on tour but this is so far
not advicable due to union regulations and figths between unions on who 
should be hired for the movement. There is also no TCO recommendation covering
the usage of these synthesizers which have proven to be a particularly
hard problem sometimes. Please feel free to contact the Magocrapial Leagal
Advisor to find the necessary law loopholes necessary to fullfill this
dream of yours.

Please contact us for indeep information and a demo tape. We are waiting
by our mobilephones for you to call.

Sincerly,
