In fairness, as I've posted before, their W series organs (Helios, Saturn, Galaxy etc) were the absolute pinnacle of the analogue era, IMO. Those instruments were market leaders worthy of their whopping price tags (or at least they were until we realised how unreliable they would prove to be).

Unfortunately, in the digital era, they've always been an also-ran. Not helped by a lack of long-term management/investment and woeful after-sales support. Frankly, they haven't made a single instrument since the mid 1980s that couldn't be bettered by something else for a fraction of the price.

And yet, the name continues, rather like a struggling car marque, clinging to the faded appeal of past glories...
