My 6 panels are a nice well rounded
no object' purchase - for megarich studios/artists and Rex no longer
cares much for building the odd panel for 'regular' customers...
Personally I'd like to think this is not the reason for the price
rise. I always get the impression when speaking to Rex that he likes
to do some other stuff in life rather than build panels all the time.
Hence I agree with Chris W's statement that he's simply trying to
discourage any kind of business.
No matter how rich I may or not be I don't see myself buying panels
at these prices... same reason I wouldn't order any Moog CE modules..
they are just way overpriced...
I've come to the same conclusion as you: my 4 panel system is pretty
well-rounded too... infact I was thinking of selling the TKB and
another panel and replacing them with just 1 new panel combining the
modules I use most with a smaller stage Seq/Programmer as I don't
need the 16 stages or touchpads of the TKB... not now though!
I'll probably be expanding my MOTM system and most likely purchasing
some of the weirder Modcan/Cynthia modules too. (There is a lot of
vanilla Modcan but the Super Delay/Flanger/Freq Shift/6x2 Mixer all
look fairly desirable and the range of filter types on offer is
superb for 1 system)
The only upside to this for existing Serge owners is the prices of
used STS era Serge panels will surely increase...
