I have learned to my peril not to talk about new products or releases until they have, at the very least, been shipped from the factory. Why?

1) The manufacturer doesn't like it.
2) release dates ALWAYS change.
3) Customers become frustrated.

We made the mistake a few years ago of telling Hammond XE1 owners that a lower manual kit would be available for the single manual Hammond. Some people brought the XE1 on the premise that they would soon be able to make it into an organ. The lower manual had so many issues to be resolved to get it right, along with scheduling factory time that it was a year late. Our ears were well and truly...and rightly bashed.

I have on my ThinkPad a large amount of information and specifications plus stuff on my keyboard from a certain manufacturer of considerable interest on here at the moment that pertain to the very near future but for the three reasons above will not discuss them. Its hard to keep a secret (and great fun to tease) but in the long run I personally find it much safer and less frustrating for everyone to keep it to myself.

I am here because music is my hobby and to get into industry politics isn't so much fun, particuarly when I am the one on the recieving end of someone elses frustration.

And for poor Dusan. Why he didn't read the manufacturers blurb before purchasing is beyond me. If I spend a few pounds on anything I like to know exactly what I am getting...let alone £4000. There is, and never has been any official reference to a sequencer for the Audya.
