Was planning to start making Euro-compatible tube modules for next year.
I want to ask around about what people want to see, and I do read
every serious suggestion.
One thing I do keep hearing: complaints from many Euro modular owners.
They want to buy a new module--but it doesn't "exactly match" the rest
of the modules in their system. They want all the modules available to
look the same. Supposedly, some of the lesser Euro module makers have
trouble selling a module that's black or some other color, other than
plain anodized aluminum with black lettering. "If it doesn't look like
a Doepfer, I won't buy it." Yes, it seems lame, but a LOT of people
assemble large modulars primarily for appearance!
This is a big problem with Euro, MOTM and dotcom. Less of a problem
for Frac Rack owners, they don't care so much as long as things are
cheap...
On the other hand, I'd like to have yellow color panels. It would look
kool. And my stuff would really stand out. But I do need to sell them,
and if people won't accept Metasonix yellow, fine, they won't be yellow.
Opinions are welcome.
