Re: [motm] Format Wars
There have been MOTM plans on the website in the past for modules that have not eventuated. Just because it is on the website, it does not mean it will actually happen that way.
 
What happens when those 95% of kit sales are no longer in the equation. What percentage of the previous 95% kit sales are going to purchase assembled MOTM modules instead of kits, and what percantage will move to building modules from other sources instead of MOTM?
 
If there is a large decline in MOTM format sales after the move to assembled only, won't more MOTM format modules be seen as being unprofitable, low-selling, and dropped from the range?
 
This is going to change the whole balance of the equation that Paul uses to decide what modules to keep in which format, I don't think you can say for certain what is going to happen. I expect we will see more modules dropped from the MOTM format, and these then available in Frac format, as is happening already, plus Frac only modules.
 
Oh, that's right, we will have the do-everything-you-want DX7 by then (sorry Audio Engine), we don't need all that expensive analogue crap anymore!
 
We should be able to voice our concerns without being put down for bitching, maybe more people would voice their concerns if not for fear of being attacked for doing so.
