And another:

Nice accidental discovery for today.

Some good grooves on the album from which this track comes:

A fair few of my suggestions point to the simplicity or the touch aspect. eg: Midimalist, Moddest, Morphelia (sadly all rejected). Otte - 8 in Danish.

Swedish, but Danes understand it too. 🙂

Was at this gig and it was great.

It hasn’t.

I knew someone would suggest this sooner or later.

I’d already thought of that one. It’s already in use.

Thanks. Added it to the list.

We hit a bit of a snag as we found out that someone had trademarked a name very close to ours. Annoyingly it was trademarked five months after I came up with the Midium name. So we’re now in the process of renaming the controller. We’ve got some ideas but are open to suggestions. You’d have to agree to handing over all rights to the name. If your suggestion is the one used, you’ll receive a free unit when it’s ready.

Worked just fine on my 2-pickup PJ and J basses too. I mostly used flats on these, which takes out treble, but they worked with steel rounds too.

Yes, could’ve have had a used one at £2k at one point but then used prices went totally nuts (up to £7k). Moog have priced this around where used prices recently settled. The only used one I’ve seen recently is still priced at £5k!

You can hook up a mobile device over the USB port and have instantly recallable presets on all the reface series if you don’t want to have to fiddle about on stage.

Original build time was quoted as 12 months.

Don’t know what approach to take. I paid $1500 deposit via bank transfer so probably am on the back foot.

Yes, I googled that too. Pretty sure it’s bôllocks though as IR are in Sydney. (Though it seems machete attacks aren’t uncommon in Oz). James is far older than 23 too! Also, he purportedly left the company in 2020 so there’s no direct effect on the work not getting done by him. Having dealt with some pretty slick scammers before, I know how people add credible details to their stories to fool people. Not saying that’s definitely what’s going on here but there have been a few red flags cropping up. They have delivered a couple of instruments over the last 18 months but it cannot take that long, especially when they are mostly assembled from pre-built parts. I cannot imagine their order book is huge as it’s a pretty esoteric instrument. I suspect they have severe cash flow issues and are using funds from new orders to fulfil older ones all the way or something similar.

More empty promises, increasingly incredible excuses and lack of communication from IR. After over a year and a half of no answers to emails, I was told on 8th November that my bass would “be ready in four weeks”. Have I been contacted? Of course I haven’t. I certainly don’t want to kick people while they are down, if that’s genuinely the case but after nearly three years of excuses coupled with radio silence (even pre-Covid) my patience has worn thin. I’m ready to call BS on this whole operation and demand my money back, if I don’t get hard evidence that this supposed bass of mine even exists. I cannot in good conscience recommend that anyone else place an order until this farce of a situation has been sorted out. Wouldn’t want anyone else to get burned. They are quoting 8-month build times to prospective new customers while nothing appears to be getting done on outstanding orders. I don’t want to be a d**k about this, but communication is everything if you’re going to run a business and in this instance it is incredibly lacking.

Used Knightfall in my local. The Tarkin has gone: https://richtonemusic.co.uk/cog-effects-knightfall-66-2nd-hand/
