Watching this, you can see Roger Linn made a HUGE mistake.

Had he patented the pads properly, when he first released them... He would be a billionaire...

Every company bit off his idea... And there are a serious invention....

Thanks for that link VIBES!!

This could very well be the hottest new thing since Ableton Live.

In the interview, Mr. Linn gave some clues to the Linndrum2 redesign (ETA shipping 3rd quarter this year);

"...pad-oriented electronic instruments are the new human interface for music and are really a whole new series of instruments like pianos and guitars, and if you think of that evolution there are a number of different pieces that are coming together like guitar loopers, beat oriented devices, software, and human interfaces...take that look and and see where will this be 20 or 50 years out and back track it and invent the new thing..."

This makes me think he is on the right path. A truly musician/drummer/beatsmith-oriented interface, a nod to loopers and not just sequencing (!!!), and integration into DAW's (doubles as a plugin?).

I think now would be a very BAD time to release...
lord knows... I wouldn't buy it this year...
too much competition from the sw world (live8/NI)...
but I'm still waiting on that one....
it's a very interesting piece of hw.. (and I'm an Evolver fanboy)

the strange thing is it was announced as going on pre-sale a while ago...
in the Dave Smith site...

That was before they decided to drastically redo their original design and change a lot of things. I'm willing to wait for perfection.

Patents stiffle creativity, and stiffle technology proliferation, and stiffle world prosperity on the whole.

that is all.

I never said they didn't....

I'm just saying, "Roger Linn, inventor of, 'Human Interface Pads for analog and digital instruments,' could have held the patent for it."

Would have been a lot of scratch. I suppose it interests me, cause I'm flat broke.

Which is funny, cause David Letterman was on TV tonight, complaining he has lost all his money.....
