I think this is a good idea. I'd be a buyer at a reasonable

make the librarian 10x more useful and easier to use.<br>

to get a <b>professional</b> developer to create the <b>a6

functions considered standard in pro librarian/editor
(as much as the a6’s MIDI implementation permits). </span><o:p></o:p></p>

approach to make it happen is this</span></u></b><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">:
Basically, the idea came from observing the same
question over and over in different forums and
communities: where can I get a pro A6 editor/librarian?
In digging more, I saw many attempts have been made and
usually those were medium to very low quality results
compared to what a synth such as the a6 deserves.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">So
I thought: how come we don’t have a professional one?
From my findings in talking directly to some
developers, I realized they were hesitant from the low
direct requests AND because <u>when they were</u>
proactively interested, the <b>a6</b> <b>was simply
NOT ready</b> for it (remember how the MIDI
implementation was one of the major shortcomings of the
initial OSs?) Long story short, I have been in talks
with a couple of <b>pro reputable developers</b>, and
they <b>showed genuine initial interest</b> when I told
them that <b>we could gather at least 100 interested
licensees for version 1</b>. Let’s be realistic, <u>who
would want to take the risk to develop such product
for a discontinued hw synth just like that?</u></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">So
my idea to approach this obstacle is that <b>we create
together a win-win situation</b> both for us (getting
the pro editor-librarian that we want and need) and for
them (securing a minimally juicy initial user base of
100 users and the rights over the sw for future
maintenance and marketing, etc.) Thus, this is <b><u>not</u></b>
a for-profit initiative for us (especially not for me
for the sake of honesty), we just want a GREAT librarian
at the very least… <b>and so I took the initiative to
talk to devs and to rally for your attention</b>,
which is why we are talking about this now :). I know
there may be better ways and what not, but without
initiative and driven will there is nothing really, and
we all know there was indeed nothing going on for our a6
since the dismal product discontinuation was announced.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Finally
for now, in talking to these developers, they think my
suggestion to rally for a committed and guaranteed
initial user base of at least 100 licensees so that they
see the project is financially feasible IS A GOOD ONE
and I have their initial interest, and so it’s up to us
to show unity and genuine, honest interest for this
project.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
