EDIT: *Checks bank account* Nope, can't even afford the deposit !

They're working on getting the HALia complete right now, and that is looking to be a very affordable little box apparently. I'm guessing it'll be out next year.

Yeah the SX-1 looks great but can not afford it. Eagerly awaiting the Halia though. Definitely going to pick that up as long as it's less than that deposit price for the SX-1!

Does sound lovely mind, proper full of Lifeforms-like bloopy environments. If I remember correctly their kit-list circa the Lifeforms era (listed in the Amorphous Androgynous - Tales of Ephidrina linear notes) they had a EMS VCS which this SX-1 definitely seems to pay homage to (or maybe the AKS)!

Brian's dad gave him his old Synthi AKS - I think it was the seventh one ever made - which is of course the main instrument on the Synthi A album and the EMS : Piano material. Brian's hugely into his EMS gear now which is how they made contact with Digitana (who have been making EMS-inspired gear for a while now), and also Robin Wood who runs EMS itself.

I think I will be waiting for the HALia. Any rough ideas of price for that?

Nothing confirmed yet, although it should, as Pete hoped, be cheaper than the deposit for the SX-1.

Ok, that should make it just about affordable then
