hi,a few people out there may think i am over doing it. but the
 reality is doepfer is not handling its support and public relations
 very well. i have read other yahoo groups where modular manufacturers
 take a little more interest with their customers than doepfer does.
 my suggestion would be to take that extra half hour a day to read the
 posts from this group and your forum and interact directly with your
 customers a little more. they are the people that buy your products
 and hence pay your bills and the company's as well.
 if you need any reasons why you should do this, please take a look at
 the IZ Technology RADAR website and surf their forum to get a few
 pointers and ideas on how to interact with your customers. this is a
 classic case of proper customer support and resolving issues that
 customers have. hell, even the president of the company get his hands
 dirty with customer support and ideas as well as his own employees.
 this was a total breath of fresh air compared to the elusive and
 secretive way that you do things. please check their website and
 forum. here is the url;
