For the record, and since it's possible that I'm the only Wiard owner on
this list, the Wiard is absolutely -not- expensive for its functionality. On
the contrary, it's a bargain. Those 6 modules really are the equivalent of
about 20 'standard' analog synth modules. Broken down to a dollar per
function basis, it's an incredibly good deal. It absolutely -is- powerful,
innovative and space efficient, and yes the joystick is terrific. Yes, the
cost of entry is high compared to buying one or two modules at a time. But
you get what you pay for (and much more) with the Wiard.

I seriously doubt that the choice of 1/8" jacks has anything to do with
Grant's decision to stop producing it.
