Re: Repeater's Demise

[Henry Heine <henry@bagend.com>]

I sure am glad I got mine last month. Also got a Warp Factory (which I 
haven't even tried yet), a Filter Queen, and a Filter Factory, both of 
which I love.

I watched the company tease us with the Repeater at the NAMM show for 
maybe 3 years before it became available. Remember that wooden mock-up? 
All the Electrix products
were met with great interest at the shows. The last time they exhibited 
was winter 2001 in Anaheim. They had a working Repeater demo/one man band 
that was very effective.
Maybe that was one of you folks.

Making the OS open source sounds like a great idea. Even (especially) if 
they intend to sell the hardware production off to another manufacturer.

Electrix: do it before you sell the hardware. Could be good incentive for 
your potential buyer.

OTOH I have no idea how many were ever produced. Any clues? Maybe not 
enough.

shucks.
