ok, maybe the humorous point didn't come over as intended - so let me be as clear as yourself above:
whatever ASB you have is midi controlled - pick your controller of choice, even a custom built-in keyboard:
It will remain a midi controlled box and not like the instruments from the 70s you were talking about.
it's really not my point to make jokes about you and I trust your statement about your long time passion in synth design - it's eventually what made me wonder how you could develope this idea.
we probably had different teachers in marketing or is it just in the local difference ?
My point is (and has always been) that it's the image of a product that sells it big style (today) - and imho Access and Nord are excellent examples, or do I have to say iPod ?
What do you see on stage and in Videos ?
I agree completely on your facts-based-marketing-research, which applies on niche markets (imho)
So there's nothing to say against a custom built ASB (Anna Lüse isn't joking when asking for requests, imho) with or without a keyboard - comparable to 'custom' guitars.
But it will not gain CWA any more shares in mass market, let alone be profitable.
btw I have no problems making a fool out of myself - don't mess the # of posts with claim of authority, there isn't any
