E-MU Newsletter

2001-10-30 by Chaos9@Fuckyou.co.uk

I just get the new E-MU Newsletter and discover that E-MU is cutting 
the street price of the Command Stations to $999.00 bucks. Bummer. I 
paid way more for BOTH the Command Stations. Then E-MU offers $200.00 
off any expansions before Christmas. Just great. Who has money at 
holiday time? That's straight bullshit E-MU. Man dudes I wrote my 
dealer I bought my Command Stations from and ragged his shit for 
that. I bought both Your Command Stations, E-MU, even pre-paid for 
them before they came to the public and they have their quirks I HOPE 
get worked out on Upgrades. And You offer 200.00 bucks off 
Expansions? How about offering me 400.00 bucks off the cost of a new 
Proteus 2500 Sequencer? I want one, for sure, but am I going to buy 
one and then You decide to cut the price later and screw people like 
us who paid bigger bucks for Your technology? Really. I'm not joking 
here. I can't afford expansions before the holidays. So I'm screwed 
is what E-MU is saying. Man I am one unhappy customer. Unhappy enough 
to do an up-front review for Keyboard Magazine or Future Music in the 
UK with glossy photos of my Command Stations and what I like and 
don't... believe me, I sleep with these machines. I want some one at 
E-MU to write me and talk directly. I cannot afford Expansions before 
Christmas. I straight up want some discount for what extra I coughed 
up for my Command Stations. And in the New Year. I am NOT joking one 
bit here. That's bullshit, and You know it, E-MU.
Write me, straight up. Make me an offer that's fair as a cash 
customer. Go ahead, call me or my dealer at Sweetwater Sound. That's 
like about 500.00 I'm out in investments and You offer me a pissy 
deal on Expansions? Get Real. Wake up and smell the Thorns.
