--- Why ? ---

No Xite-1 or Xite-d or pci card, nothing ! Not even with waiting time (out of stock).
I don't understand why as Thomann is a big reseller.

I'd like SC to sell tons of gear ! And take on a lot of developpers to lay nice Scope & devices update !

Not really new. I guess this has been the situation for already more than 1 year now, SC products being only available from US shops or directly from their online shop. Almost no more European shop to buy an Xite...

Edit:

I found one :D :

And another one:

sc makes more of the money like this in europe and uk

the stockist sell at the recomended rrp

this is the price that sc sells for

but thomann and other stockists would want a wholesaler fee

and its nearly 50% of the rrp

i worked in a synth shop for a while and some of my gear i got half price

thats why you can hagle and get good deals on new synths in shops as they get

them way much cheaper than what they sell them for

for sc it would mean the deal there doing on xite now

would have to that mostly always to the whole sale companies

so sc are beta selling direct more cash

and they control the rate as they do it supply and demand

with wholesale companies you would have to provide a minimum order

that would be a big cost up front from sc for stock just to be sitting there in storage and if prices fall

or the whole saler dicides its not selling well it can do a massive sale and sell it for cheap just to get rid of it

it happened to roland a lot the jd800

they made loads and had lots of stock turnkey had a load in storage

and becuase they could not shift them

they started to sell them of brand new at £600

turnkey was the best synth shop in uk but because of over stocking and making big loses by selling stock cheaper that what they got it for just to

show that the turn over was good but in the end it caught up with them and they went bump along with there other sister synth shops
