Thanks for the concern. We are fine, new products are always in
development, including the Emulator 5 software sampler, and we have
lowered our prices due to the lack luster economy. We simply are being
much more aggressive than others. XL/MP-7 software development is still
in discussion and no definitive decision has been made on its future.
September has 30 days, I may need them all before I can give you some
more information regarding our direction with future xx-7 development.

Another note. As products mature and we go through a few OS releases,
our involvement on user lists, especially from our engineers will
typically ramp down.
