Hello Andy.
The thinking behind it is simple: we have an archive which we have never exploited other than on mellotron tape. We have been rigid about this for many a year but JB and I have decided to be less stoical. Dave Kean released his CD rom years ago to much success and now that Clavia have allowed all the master tapes to be available to Nord users, why be protective any longer? If we hadn't joined forces and created the M3000, someone else will and possibly with inferior sounds. Markus and Memotron can fight it out at that level and we want no part of it. However, we are besieged by people who have no space for an M4000 or the money to even buy a digital keyboard of any kind so we have released a product that is very good sonically for the growing iPad market. Apple are selling one every three seconds.
Best,
Martin
