Right on.

Still too expensive for my wallet though.

It would also be nice if they just made a solid US $ amount.

i thought it was going to be another of those lame "gotcha" threads.

well, in a way it is one.

I just remembered they sell them on some US sites like audiomidi.com and I didn't check to see if the price changed but I am assuming the price won't fluctuate with the exchange rate.

You guys are bad at math.

Lemur = $1769 US DOLLARS AND EUROS

Dexter = $1519 US DOLLARS AND EUROS

Stop converting the currency, the digits are the same for both!

Is this actually true and if so does anyone think they did it because of the APC40?

It's still a vastly different product than the APC - I think it'll integrate very well now with max-in-live!

I think monome has more to be scared about this than jazzmutant.

(3rd slam on monome today. I think I'm done.)

yes, at least future sales of the 64 at least could be threatened, I agree.

I always saw the Jazzmutant stuff as a luxury. Multi-touch monitors would easily trump them, imo, and aren't too far off.

that's what people have been saying the last 3-4 years at least - and here we are, still gigging with and having fun with our Lemurs

Luxury is the wrong word. If it is your 24/7 work tool, you can't call it luxury.

Luxury is if you are using one just to illuminate the room.
