Well this makes me wonder, why did they choose the CS1x case? Only
reason i can imagine...cost effectiveness. I guess just like with the
FS1r, and the AN1r, groups within Yamaha were fighting against each
other. But really, why shouldn´t Yamaha make synths of better
quality. I got my Nord Micro Modular on the weekend. Never had a
synth of such robust appearance and good quality. It´s like a little
tank. ;)
Oh well, businessmen. You either love ´em or hate ´em. I remember a
big discussion on a SW1000XG mailing-list about Yamaha´s politics. I
will never understand them.
