Analogue-sequencer

Duncan,

That's correct, if they are really looking for it. But if someone has
just heard of "something called the p3" and wants to find it, that's
what they'll search on.

This isn't about smart person vs. dumb person, it's simply about the
desire to have a unique name. This is very important for establishing
brand recognition and a simple sense that a product is unique and
different. If the next Sequentix (which is a great name, by the way)
sequencer were called the P4 not only would the name get lost in the
mass of other P4s out there (Pentium 4, etc), it would just sound like
the P3 plus some.

I think Colin is right on track with the idea of a new name. The
problem is finding one. :) (I could think of a few, but they aren't
good. The product name should be equally as good as the company name,
I think.)
