They're really neat! > > Still, it says something good about the A-100 when you can say that "only" selling 100 units is considered not worth it. :) You have to keep in mind the selling period: 100 within 2 years means only 4 per months or even less because the sales were decreasing. And it's not a Ferrari where 4 units per months would be fine :-) If we could expect selling 100 units e.g. within 6 or even 12 months the situation would be different. But I don't think that's not the case for the vocoder sub-system. Maybe a non full modular vocoder (i.e. not a separate analysis and synthesis section with 15 in/outputs, but all in-one) would sell better as it would be cheaper too. And of course a DSP solution would also be cheaper. But that's not what we want to offer.
