[A6] SoundDiver and the a6

[MelloT at aol.com]

Why are Alesis and Emagic not cooperating?
As others mentioned before, there are not many A6 owners; it is a (great) 
VERY expensive keyboard that was not a success financially. 

Alesis has new owners and most of their former employees (including those who 
worked on the A6) are not there. Those who work there are very busy on new 
projects, as most businesses keep their employees busy all the time. To pay a 
talented employee to re-learn A6 code makes them NO money, in fact, it makes 
them worse off financially. 

This is certainly something we could all figure out. It is frustrating yes, 
but makes a lot of sense. Emagic has bit more of a reason, as SoundDiver IS 
still a popular product (is it?) and more people might buy it if this is 
completed. However, they have their own projects that may make more sense than we can 
know now... hopefully, this is understandable behaviour now.
