I am tired of seeing such a great platform, and great products hanging on a wire. I am going to start writing replies to Sound On Sound, Keyboard Mag, Electronic Musician, EQ, Mix, Recording, Computer Music and any magazine which is not reviewing CW ASB's. If you guys really want to see our platform sucseed, and thrive, you will follow suit. Just email a letter to one or two mags asking why they review so many shitty products and not the ASB's of CW. Just think if we all pull together for this worthy cause, it would have a great effect in the editors eyes at least. If one high circulation magazine would take note, the others always follow as they don't want to be the one that doesn't cover it. They would be seen as a soapbox for Roland, Yamaha, and all the big bloated ad payers. July 25th is my one year anniversary at this forum, and 4 playing SFP. This is the least that I can do for my gratefullness which I owe these guys in Germany, and the rest of you guys for all of your help. Just think, we all could write to one mag at the same time and drive them nuts. This would at least make me feel that I got even at them for being forced to read such one sided reviews on how great the new Roland synth sounds. Wonder how much they pay for those front cover adds? would have been better spent on R & D IMHO.

Maybe someone could pull all these editorial addresses together for us and I for one will be more than happy to make some noise....I think that most of the computer music making buying public wouldn't know a great sounding synth if it were shoved up their ASB.

Maybe another idea would be to target the high end music shops where the Creamware name has slipped by them for a couple of years. Go to the big (mostly annoying stores with the snotty "I know it all attitude" reps) and demand to see an ASB and then walk out in disgust at the crap they try to sell you. I walked into a huge store in Toronto last month with an Oberhiem t-shirt on and they treated me like I was Keith Emerson. Talked to them about Creamware for a while and they admited that they have completly missed it for a few years having been pounded by the marketing of some of our other respected computer music producers....just a thought..word of mouth can be very persuasive and the great live demos that Scope4live does weekly is the best we can do...

well i don't read all those mags, but SoundonSound has definitely reviewed the ASB's. Very favourably as well.

Yes it was a good review, an honest as usual from DS. Unfortunately mags from Europe are expensive here to some musicians. I have had a sub with them 4 years, as they got me interested in CW back in '99, and again in July issue a couple of years back. Most people here in USA buy these mags I mentioned. I am emailing them as I speak on this matter. They will probably try to keep the demo units recieved they are so good.

It's good to see that the biggest music chain-store in the netherlands, Feedback, is carrying Creamware again. I bought my very first pulsar there, but at one point they stopped carrying CW products. But now they're back

I guess the ASB's suddenly made Creamware "cool" again.
On the biggest dutch synthesizer forum (synthforum.nl) a lot of people are raving about the ASB's as well. They seem to be really popular bits of kit.
I'd buy one as well if they weren't so expensive (why is every new model more expensive than the last one?) and i if didn't have all the synths already as plugins

Specialty shops here in USA are carrying the ASB's, but I am going after the big boys still. Hey Ralf, if you guys trust me with a demo, I'll punish them here with demos in their own stores in front of all their brainwashed, dull eared customers myself. I have the 3 largest store chains right here in Las Vegas. I never go there 4 I get so bored with the same regurgitated shit they carry. This I will do 4 you. I personally have no need 4 the ASB's at this time, thanks to your high quality cards which I have a nice collection of now.

BTW Ralf, I will buy an ASB myself. I have had no luck with my controllers ability to move the drawbars on the fly w/o having audio jumps on the 16' drawbar, the most important one. I tried the MC3000, and the M Audio KS 88, and ES 88 with no luck. My producer/friend showed me on his SSL digital console that his long throw faders worked w/o incident, so I now know that the MIDI resolution on the controllers is inacurate. I hope that the ASB B3 has good resolution on it's drawbars, as I will need it. So I hope my meagher purchase will be of some help, and I will demonstrate it myself to these big shops here in LV. I will simply take it to the store and say do you have a rotary cabinet? They of course will not, then I will say how about a quality powered monitor? Then they can listen and be shocked as this is the only way I believe they will ever hear it. If this sucseeds I hope you will consider sending me a couple of demo units, but I will buy the first one. What say you?
