Hi Mark,

Yes, too bad we didn't get to meet up.

As far as the "C3," all of the material at the show said C3, but the final product is the C1. I heard that H-S was quite upset, and while my personal feeling is that Clavia might have passed the legal tests in the long run, is it worth the fight? I mean, it's almost as small as the two keybeds, bright red, and uses drawbuttons, so what's in a name? Hopefully, such a simple change won't affect the shipping dates. They certainly got the website changed ASAP.

----------
I heard the Leslie, but only in a crowded, noisy environment, and with the Noise Police in full swing. We all know that ANY Leslie, MS, Elka, etc. sounds OK at lower volumes; you have to lean on it to notice the bigger picture. And there wasn't any leanin' to be had at NAMM! ;-)

It's also interesting that they copied the MS control panel pretty much verbatim ...

Regards,

-BW
