I am *very* interested in buying a Transporter. The hardware as it stands now seems to meet my needs. But I need to know that the firmware update Sean promised (back when it was still his company), to add the digital FX loop and fix the "vibrating knob even though you've only used the remote" bug, is still going to happen. The danger of buying a Transporter now is that Logitech might quickly decide it's not in their product future and cease all development work - and hence no firmware update. So the answer seems clear: wait to buy a Transporter until I've seen the firmware update in the field. But by that time, it's possible that the Logitech bean-counters have forced some cost-reductions through and the hardware design has been compromised. There again, it's also possible that some changes to the Transporter might actually be an improvement. (One cost reduction I'd be happy about would be the removal of the knob altogether - it may be cool, but I can't see myself using it). So you see, I'm in a serious quandry, and suspect others may feel the same way. -- cliveb Performers -> dozens of mixers and effects -> clipped/hypercompressed mastering -> you think a few extra ps of jitter matters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28952 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
