The Cyndustries List

I am one of the lucky ones who has had two Zeroscillators (from the
first batch) for some time.  They are definitely worth the wait.  
Sure, you can use a Zeroscillator as a standard oscillator; however, I
find that they are the most fun when they are thoroughly abused.  You
can throw a miriad of sources at this sucker and it keeps burping and
squawking!  I have coaxed sounds that I have never heard from ANY
oscillator using feedback patches and unusual modulation sources.


I can understand the annoyance with lack of communication and the
anticipation of the yet-to-be-determined ship dates.  Not to nitpick
too much, but this board has become the Zeroscillator gripe session as
of late.  Has anyone seriously not been able to make music without
their long awaited Zeroscillator?  This is a boutique, hand made
module...these things take time.   The Zero is also not the only
offering from Cyndustries.   I subscribed hoping to hear about
interesting patches people have come up with on their Quad Lowpass
Gates and raspy Synthacon filters.  

It's been a hard year for Cynthia; when everyone has their long
awaited modules in their hands, let's give her (and her team) some kudos.

As many people on this list I deeply believe that Cynthia is a very, 
very nice person!!!

BUT I think John (hello John) and Morbius actually mix 2 different 
things:
1. Waiting (which is ok for me until a promised date)
2. Communicating (which has to occur ALWAYS even if there are 
problems)

I am self employed for nearly 8 years now, also lost my father, got 
unbelievable pain with my body and had to pay a huge amount of money 
all at the same time...but that were MY problems!

My very loyal customers had a lot of deep understanding for my 
situation BUT they always expected COMUNICATION (!) and IMHO they 
are right...it takes only a few minutes to say/email "at this moment 
I have to care about myself or my family or whatsoever". Otherwise 
the "others" develop (mostly bad) ideas about the possible reasons 
for that behaviour (we had that "discussion" a few weeks ago on this 
list) which I found very interesting from a psychological 
standpoint..
