k, its been almost 2 weeks since BPM and there is a picture update on www.eks.fi im speculating it has something to do with production, the note says: DND development in progress
the rumor was that production might start about now, so lets see

Production started a while ago, i included information about what stage the production was in this article i wrote here -

The article says

"Another piece of great news is that the EKS Otus is now fully operational and is now going to production"

He said that it was rumored to be going into production now, i wrote the article in over 3 months ago - the EKS has been in production to the best of my knowledge for atleast a couple months.

Ive contacted EKS asking for a bit more info on the release date but nothing yet(it was a day or two ago i asked).

Raw FTW....im sure about that whole touch sensitive pitch approach

[tekki]

Only thing is, by default you cannot switch from one deck to the other with the RAW, like you can on the Otus.

Thats where the touch sensitive pitch slider comes in on the Otus, the RAW has a traditional pitch slider which makes it alot more difficult to switch between decks and still have pitch control.

You could always pipe the thing though Bomes to create a second deck then use the jog wheel as a pitch fader while a button on the device is held down.

If there is a will there is always a way

[tekki]

True, that's why I stated not like the Otus.

But, that would be one thing, for me, to consider Bome's.
(Or maybe try something with deck copy or something. )

TPros new modifiers would also be of some help.
