One can't get put back by relatively small numbers in this business.  

How many people are there into Eurorack modular?  I mean people who
own it.  Given the Doepfer list has but 700 members, there are
probably less than 1500 people in total.  It's a small puddle we're
in, gents and this is why the big boys (Yamaha, Roland, Korg, etc.)
haven't jumped into the ring and thanks for that as it would put most
of us down. 

Cynthia has sold over 100 Zero's...and she's ported them to every
format imaginable.  300 of anything in a single format is huge. One must remember we don't build many of any module for the sake of building. If we did, we could have made over a thousand M15's in a year no problem.  But nothing sits around our finished goods area for more than a week as we make them only to complete sales orders.  These 300 are in the field.

I know it seems lame to brag about, such a small number, but given the
market it's a big big success.
