Hi, yeah, I would love if there were some videos shot at the Superbooth For some reason, Electra and maybe the MIDI controllers (as devices that do not make sound) in general are not that attractive. I also suspect that it is caused by my bad presenting skills. Nick from the Sonicstate shot a video with me a two years ago but it was never released. Last year, @NewIgnis helped me with the show, and it was way more attractive. I missed him there
There were three types of meetings happening:
- Users coming to say thank you. It was intense this year and I feel really enerigized by that. They often described how E1 changed their workflow, or made them use gear that would not be used otherwise, or emptied their wallets (buying new gear to be used with E1).
- Visitors who did not know E1, where surprised with how capable the device is. Especially in the realm of processing sysex. These reactions came from wide range of users, from hobby/home producers up to corporate managers. The same story went on with the Ableton and Bitwig integrations. I really want to say thank you to @jhh and @moss. By presenting what they have done, I have realized how much effort they put in their extensions.
- And there were so many b2b discussions (distributors, cooperation, etc). I really need to process it. Almost all ideas were great, but only some of them can be done.
What will be happening in the near future:
- Loopop making a review. He has been an E1 user for about two years now. I did not want to make a review when we did not have any units in stock. That has changed, we should be able to manufacture hardware without any problems this year and on. Loopop also shared/suggested several great ideas. We are definitely going to reflect some of them.
- SoundOnSound review
- German Synth Mag review
So, in general it was great. I lost my voice at some point - amount of talking, drinking, and not sleeping was too high. Unfortunately, there is not much evidence of that
PS: and a big thank you goes to @akira who was there with me!
