what are they priced at?

binez0r · Post by **binez0r** » Fri Oct 06, 2006 6:54 am

audiomidi has them for $500 each! Wow! Holy shit!

Hey, Ralf, why not a mono istance VST wrapper for these awesome boxes (and ASB too)???
The USB port permits only one audio I/O istance, but could be a good add value.
Something similar comes from latest Roland and Korg keyboards.
If now it's impossible take a note for the future products, maybe for Modular/Flexor VSTi klangbox!!!

In this way Creamware will become rich for shure... do you can imagine how many people could buy a top class external gear that features VST recall and rendering?!?!

they won't get very rich given how much it'll cost to develop and make it work properly on most setups with most software =P

Have to agree with Symbiote. Companies like CW don't get rich in this business no matter how good their products are.

Great news Ralf & good luck with the Klangbox !!!

Indeed, this meems to be the right product at the right time aiming at the customers who can get one sole ASB (budget matter...)or just find out that you can get a hardware emulation of a famous synth for the price of 1,5 VSTi... great idea !

The people, here, often seems to forget & don't understand the real power of the VSTi standard in the market. I don't know why...
With a complete VSTi wrapper+external DSP klangbox Creamy could cover ALL the targets of the market, from Pro to "poor" home musician. A sort of Tc-Powercore synth dedicated. I know that the development is hard to engage, but I'm shure that the overall business possibility is huge!
Obviously, in parallel, with the actual possibility of midi control directly with external keyboard.

This is because a lot of musician that I know are absolutely VST addicted (recall, easy wiring, easy automation, freeze, etc.)

Read here for an example (note that a very little company (with only one person inside)can afford a development like this...)

Just imagine a VSTi external Modular/Flexor Klangbox, with standalone software for the Patch programmation & a VSTi wrapper for Cubase/Nuendo/Protools/etc.
Wow!

sknote is not usb.

Yeah, I know, but it's just as example.

absolutely correct - an (exactly!) one man's enterprise CAN afford this, and even make it a profitable business.
With (even just a few) employees it's an entirely different story, though

cheers, Tom

Sorry but there's nothing all that advanced about that. It's a monosynth with a computer interface to control it and "generate polyphonic, velocity sensitive, hybrid sounds". What this means is it's basically a sampler that samples a cycle and loops it and as it's a sampler it's easy to make it velo-sensitive.

I guess that it's a nice idea in some ways, but would it make me buy it? No thanks... it's essentially an analog monosynth. I'd rather buy a Pro One or a Moog Prodigy for that money.

It's certainly an unusual effort by the standards of the computer world, but if you venture outside the computer music scene the world is full of people making limited-run, interesting analog (and otherwise) instruments and processors.

As Astro said, the moment you get a few people involved it becomes commercially impossible to take such a risk.

That last post was beside the point. I think a Mod3+Flexor Klangbox or ASB is Creamware's best chance at hitting some good sales and also gaining a lot of respect and kudos from the industry.

Holy words!

The end of Clavia Nord Modular 2...it sounds like cool glass compared to our beloved ModIII
