Taxes are done and mailed! (I had to pay $216, not bad overall. That's not $216
TOTAL, $216 ∗more∗. Let's not go into what I paid overall....sigh.....)
So, if anyone is due a refund, now is a good time to buy that extra LFO or take
the plunge and get a '650.
The next 2 1/2 weeks will be ∗very busy∗ for me. Last week not much got done, my
whole family was sick with a nasty cold/virus/stomach flu. I still can't sleep
well at night, hopefully the worst is behind me. I missed the first day at 'real
work' due to illness in about 8 years.
All of the '650s "beta test" units are out there. No new reports have come in
recently. Later this week, the work on a V1.1 release can start and hopefully be
deployed by the end of the month. Those of you that asked to wait for shipping
are in line. Everyone else will be shipped whatever version I have at the time
your unit is ready. Generally speaking, if you avoid the external arpeggiator
clock and sustain pedal, you should be able to use the unit no problem. Also,
again: if you ordered a LONG TIME AGO and your credit card info has changed,
please email me with an update.
I will be charging credit cards this week for '650s (and '950/'990s if also not
yet delivered) on order.
Shipments from Indiana start tomorrow. Please email me if there are part
shortages. Be patient, everyone will get their stuff. I have like 4 more '300
kits to ship, then that backlog should be 0. I am waiting for tempcos to arrive
to finish '310 kits (due mid May).
Frac rack module focus starts in...err...5min :) I'm taking all the parts over
tomorrow. This week I can work on '650s, but next week is 100% frac rack. I'm
holding my breath, as this time the pc board has 618 (!!) individual parts on it
(it's 5 frac modules). These will be sent to Analog Haven around April 28th.
Tell your non-MOTM friends about them. They will replace the CEM chips as a
revenue stream. If I sell out of this pcb run, the $$$ profit will be just about
what the CEM revenue was the last 18 months.
Paul H. is still in rehab, not able to go home. His wife has to install lots of
hand rails and redo the bathroom before they will release him.
