op Sonic Matter pikte ik dit bericht op aangaande Kurzweil Music Systems. Het lijkt erop dat Kurzweil met uitsterven bedreigd wordt. De VA-1, waar toch wel een aantal mensen reikhalzend naar uit zaten te kijken is 'shelved' zoals dat zo keurig heet. Onderstaande is slechts een kleine greep uit het verhaal van Brian Cowell, een insider op het gebied van Kurzweil.
Brian Cowell schrijft:
'For those that are not aware, Young Chang was bought up big time by the SAMICK group. This means that Kurzweil Music Systems (and its American parent group AMD) were also swallowed. In there infinite wisdom they have essentially dismantled the whole thing.
What does this mean to you the consumer?
No more cool products, no more technical support. End of the line on your investment.
Lets take the newly announced VA1 as an example - it was 80% complete (software was being optimised) and yet its officially "shelved". Now anybody in this industry can tell you that when a product is "shelved", its gone the way of the dinosaur. Kurzweil Music Systems is facing extinction.'

Tja, dan sta je toch wel een beetje met je bek vol tanden als je net een K2600XS met alle toebehoren hebt aangeschaft........ zoals ik dus.
