tauzero Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 It is very impressive, and looks to have a good intuitive workflow. I'm definitely not the target audience though, it has far more capability than I would or could ever make use of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quatschmacher Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Successful day at Synthfest. And what everyone has been asking for… price is £500+taxes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok - £600 UK, so roughly what I was thinking; if it saves a couple of days configuring and replaces a couple of controllers then it could make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably be slightly more due to import duty (around 2.5%, plus the handling charge for the courier). I estimate something like £625-638.

It appears to muddle gifts versus purchases. It's explained in this Which page: https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/advice/online-shopping-do-i-have-to-pay-vat-import-and-handling-costs-ajPOC6A5brEA, which states: Quote Customs charges should not be applied to products of EU origin, due to the ‘rules of origin’ agreement between the UK and the EU. This means that orders are customs duty exempt if products have been largely produced and manufactured in the EU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An issue might be if small retailers can go through the faff of proving rules of origin rather than just putting the non-EU origin customs cost onto the UK buyer. The UK 20% VAT (not classed as a 'tariff' in the same way as customs fees) has to be paid, but the EU VAT does not: "The foreign retailer is not required to charge VAT or excise duty (whether at the UK rate or its own) on the sale. Instead, the UK consumer must pay HMRC the tax owed. Usually, the postal service or the courier will pay HMRC on the individual’s behalf, then require the individual to repay them before the goods are released. They may also charge an administration fee for this service: for example, Royal Mail charge £8 per parcel, while some private courier companies charge substantially more." https://www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/explainers/tax-brexit Edited October 10, 2022 by SumOne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excise duties, which relate to booze & fags. Customs duties (tariffs), which are applicable to goods produced outside of the EU. Courier fees charged for them paying the above on your behalf if the shipper hasn't done the admin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Finally got around to getting a whammy-type thing going on the C4. It’s not as straightforward as it could have been but with some cool MIDIUM features, I managed it. https://on.soundcloud.com/Ms9AmUN2RMSnqC4J8 https://on.soundcloud.com/NEqf4wtwgHvqA6hu8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
