To Infinity (And Beyond)...

[Insert Pithy Apology About Not Posting]

I find it interesting that I feel obligated to post on a more-or-less daily basis, as if Analog Industries was a real job or something. When three days skate by without a post, especially during the Blog-gasm known as NAMM, people start to think something’s up. Let me be the first to state that nothing could be further from the truth.

First up, Tattoo fixes. We got the two violent offenders out of the way fairly quickly, but there are still lots of little issues that were discovered in the first days that need to be addressed. We’re going to have an all-platforms update in a couple days that will address the couple of small problems with the sequencer. We’re also still working on the dumb-ass Logic cymbal problem. (This one is tough because we can’t replicate it here.) I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this lately, but fucking Logic. We hates it, Precious.

I’ll also take this opportunity to apologize for putting out a product that had such bad bugs in it. Normally, we’d expect one or two, and it’s a pleasant surprise when it doesn’t happen (which has occurred with a couple of products, but unfortunately not the majority) but Tattoo is so complex that no matter how much we tested, we obviously missed more than usual. We’re getting them tamped down, though, and we’d like to thank all the early adopters for their patience.

Once we’ve got Tattoo running at high idle, we’re going to do a round of updates on the whole product line (which should be a hoot, all twenty of ’em) and then on to other things. So, that’s the foreseeable future for AD.

Speaking strictly for myself, my wife and I will be moving the second week in February. We just signed the lease on our new house (with pool, natch) in Phoenix, and the Big Move begins the 12th and continues until it is done. Expect to hear a lot about that.

As for NAMM, nothing really blew my socks off, just like last year. I think perhaps I’ve lost the ability to be easily impressed. Anything you see that blew you away?
